Discussing their marriage, Phillip opened up about his wife during a segment on Lorraine, and explained the reason why she doesn’t work in TV anymore.
Speaking to Christine Lampard on Lorraine about it, Phillip said: “She worked in television years ago, that was how we met, so she can do it, she just doesn’t want to these days… She will only film with me.
“She got more into it as we went along.”
