This Morning host Phillip Schofield is reportedly being persuaded to release a tell-all book that could see him bag more than £1.5 million.
Earlier this year, the 58-year-old shocked the nation as he revealed that he’s gay in a heartfelt Instagram post before opening up on This Morning alongside his co-star Holly Willoughby.
Following the TV presenter’s brave confession, he has allegedly sparked a bidding war between book publishers, who are hoping to publish his coming out story.
Publishers know that Phillip’s journey will prove to be hot property and in demand by the nation who are eager to find out the back story behind his big bombshell reveal.

An insider revealed to the publication: “Book publishers are all desperate for him to write an autobiography.
“They know it could be a best-seller as he’s such a household name with a legion of fans.”

Speaking about the huge sum of cash that the Dancing On Ice host could possibly net, the source added: “The money on advances is now more than £1.5m which could tempt him.”
Back in February, Philip shared a lengthy Instagram post confirming that he was gay, despite still being married to wife Steph.
Although Phil has allegedly moved out of their shared marital home in lockdown, he and Steph are still married.

The pair, who have been married for 27 years, share two daughters together, Molly, 27, and Ruby 24.
Despite Philip’s shock confession affecting the entire family, they have supported each other and tried to maintain normality as they move forward as a unit.
During the lockdown period, the family even came together to celebrate Steph’s birthday, putting on a lavish spread to mark her special day.
The presenter recently opened up revealing that talking “saved him” after coming out as gay to the world, sharing a link to a fundraising page for a man who had been on a similar journey but later took his own life.
This Morning continues tomorrow at 10am on ITV.
