Phillip Schofield has slammed ‘three sh**s in showbiz’ as he called out ‘fake people’ during a rant in his new show.

The former This Morning host gave us all a bit of a surprise when he announced this week he’ll be making his TV return with Cast Away on Channel 5.

After exiting the ITV show in 2023 following what he describes as an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a young member of his team, the bloke is off to an island for 10 days with nothing but some cameras to film himself.

While having to find all his own food and water, the show sees Schofield opening up as he claims it gives him chance to tell his side.

Revealing he was ‘so, so close’ to taking his life and appearing to make a dig at Holly Willoughby, he also spoke about his time at Television Centre.

He explained how he was able to go there when he started out at the BBC as a booking clerk at 19 before This Morning was later filmed there where he ‘loved being’.

“When what happened to me happened to me, it screwed up my favourite building in the world, and it pretty well blew away all those happy memories, and suddenly the place became hostile to me, and that was heartbreaking,” Schofield said.

“And the people who did it to me know, they know how important that building was to me.

“They know that when you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough. It’s not a good enough reason to throw someone under a bus.”

Schofield added that ‘people can be so fake with you when it’s all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal’.

Having a bit of reflection time while putting some wood on his fire, he pauses before really ramping up the gas.

“There are only three sh***,” he slammed. “One of them is a coward who never stepped up in queue gate. One of them is a coward because they never stepped up when I was being battered by one journalist... and the other one is just brand orientated.

“Not what you expect, not what you think you're going to get. When it all came to a sudden and very abrupt end, questions were asked about our toxic environment in parliament!"

Schofield went on to say that after it all kicked off, it was the people ‘still standing’ that matter.

“They’re the ones that matter. And I thought: ‘How many friends do you need?’ I don’t need 200 fake friends. I’ve got, what? Ten, 15 friends that I would die for; they would die for me,” he added.

Phillip Schofield: Cast Away will air its first episode on Channel 5 at 9pm on Monday (30 September).
