Schofield got his foot in the door at the age of 17 with a job as a clerk at his local BBC.
It was when he moved to New Zealand that he had his first break in presenting, hosting a TV show for children called Shazam!
Upon moving back to the UK, Schofield started work for CBBC in the mid 80s as a continuity presenter.
He has been a regular face on This Morning for 20 years now, joining in 2002 with Fern Britton, when he replaced John Leslie.

As well as gracing TV screens, Schofield has also had a successful career in musical theatre.
He started performing as Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 1991, taking over the role from Jason Donovan.
Schofield surprised fans with his vocal talents, and moved on to taking the role of Doctor Dolittle and toured the UK in 2000.
His role as Joseph was much loved, and he repeated it for Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway in 2018 for a nostalgia hit.
Schofield previously lived with his family in Oxfordshire but reportedly moved into a flat in London after coming out as gay.
