Phillip Schofield has revealed his COVID isolation meant he was able to avert a flood at his home.
The TV star, 59, has had to miss Dancing On Ice and This Morning over the last few days as he has the coronavirus.
But after finding a leak in his ceiling he reckons every cloud has a silver lining.
Schofe posted a message on Instagram telling his fans that if he had been out at the rink this weekend he would have returned to find his home flooded.
Sharing a clip of water dripping onto his floor, he wrote: “Life is full of small consolations.. if I hadn’t tested positive and had gone to @dancingonice the house would be flooded.”

The TV presenter shared a clip of water dripping around a light fixture in his house as he said: “Remind me not to turn on that light!”
The star then shared a photo showing that a square section had been cut out of the ceiling.
“Surprisingly I’m very calm,” he said. “As they say in the movie, ‘Don’t look up’.”

Stephen Mulhern took over from Phil on Dancing On Ice, while his seat on the This Morning sofa was filled by other presenters such as Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson.
And it looks like that is set to continue, as the star also shared a snap of a lateral flow test, revealing it was still positive.
“This really is the day that keeps on giving!!” he captioned the shot.”Sorry @thismorning @hollywilloughby.”

Luckily, the star has said he feels “fine” since testing positive.
Appearing on This Morning via video-link last week, he said: “I haven’t even got a sore throat now. I’ve sneezed twice, and that’s it! I’ve got a slight temperature.
“This is not what I expected, I’ve got to say.”
