On Friday’s episode of the daytime show, Philip fought back the tears as he opened up about his struggles and “not being honest” with himself.
“It’s tough but this is not something that’s happened quickly, I’ve had to deal this in my head for quite some time,” he told Holly.
“I got to the stage where I thought we sit here, every day, and some amazingly brave person is sitting over there and I’m thinking ‘I have to be that person’.
“All you can be in your life is honest with yourself. I was getting to a stage in my life where I was thinking I don’t really like myself because I’m not being honest with myself.

“We always say ‘talk to someone’… and you must talk to someone. It’s brought me back from some dark places and in some cases talking to people saves you.”
In teary scenes, he then embraced Holly, who vowed she would always sit by him.
