Phillip Schofield is reportedly in talks to release a tell-all book about his ITV affair scandal – but on one condition.
The 61-year-old quit ITV after he admitted he’d lied about having what he described as an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male member of staff on This Morning earlier this year.
And despite doing a few interviews telling his side of the story since then, it’s now reported that he could be about to write a book that would discuss his ITV scandal – and former friend Holly Willoughby.

Phil has reportedly been approached by a number of book publishers that would discuss the downfall of his career – though no money has been laid on the table as of yet.

A source claimed to The Mirror : “He made it clear in the conversation that he would like the chance to tell his story in full, and in some ways to draw a line under what has happened, but that he would not do so without the approval of his family.
“Stephanie and the girls have been his lifeline all this time, while he’s been going through hell in private.

“So any further discussions are on hold until he has spoken to them, and they are happy with him going ahead.”
Phil previously released a memoir in October 2020, entitled Life’s What You Make It, not long after he came out as gay on This Morning.
It’s reported that he earned a whopping £1.5million, and the book would go on to become a Sunday Times Bestseller.

His life has been anything but quiet since then, as he announced he was stepping down from This Morning after weeks of controversy following his brother being sent to prison for child sex offences.
Soon after, he admitted he’d had an affair with a younger man on the show, and that he’d lied to bosses and Holly about it.
His former friend Holly slammed his “deceit” in the following days, and Schofe is yet to return to television – if ever.
