Phillip Schofield was the subject of ridicule at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, after a large flag which appeared to show him vaping was flown in the crowd.
The 61-year-old’s love for vapes was brutally mocked at Worthy Farm this weekend in a savage “tribute”, while his former This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby was spotted enjoying the event’s festivities.
The caption on the flag read: “Phillip Schofield says he’s vaping so much his hands are blistered.”

Phillip quit ITV altogether last month after he revealed that he had an affair with a younger member of staff who worked on This Morning.
Meanwhile, Holly appeared to put the recent scandal behind her, as she arrived in style at the festival yesterday (June 23), making her entrance via helicopter.
The 42-year-old was seen enjoying herself in a VIP section – she later joined a lengthy bar queue before giving up and going without a drink.
Holly wore a black hat that sheltered her face from the sun and dark sunglasses. She teamed her look with a colourful striped jacket.
During an interview with The Sun earlier this month, Phillip admitted that he had been “vaping a lot” which caused “blisters and calluses”.

He said to the publication: “I didn’t realise until suddenly it hurt, but I’ve been sitting looking up at the sky or out of the window, just staring into space.
“I just sit on the sofa and stare. I realise by doing that, I’ve blistered both hands.”
After the scandal came to light, Phil became the centre of controversy and received backlash from fans and those who previously worked alongside him.
In his candid interview with the BBC, Phil said: “I would say to everyone, I would say to my family, my friends, my work colleagues, the public, to ITV, to my management company, to everyone that I’d like to, I am desperately, desperately sorry.

“But principally, I would like to apologize to him because it may have been consensual, it may have been fully legal, but I shouldn’t have allowed it to happen, and that was a grave grey error on my part.
“And I know that because of that, an absolutely innocent person is being persecuted.”
Holly and Phil worked together on This Morning for 13 years and were close friends outside the show.
However, Holly insisted that she was unaware of Phil’s affair and was upset that he never told her about it.
