It is with a heavy heart that Phillip Schofield shared the news of his mother's passing. Pat Schofield, aged 88, passed away peacefully at 3pm today. Phillip took to his Instagram Story to share the news, writing, "Today, at 3pm and after a heartbreaking weekend, my magnificent mum decided it was time to go to her beloved Brian."
Phillip, who is 62 years old, fondly remembered the last three days he spent by his mother's side. "We held her, loved her, hugged her, and said everything that needed to be said," he wrote. "She was calm, peaceful, beautiful and dignified. I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum."
The former This Morning presenter also expressed his gratitude to the paramedics, Treliske A&E, and Critical Care team for their love and care towards his mother. "They have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum's and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour," he wrote.
Phillip's Instagram statement was accompanied by a series of photos from his late mother's travels. He shared a clip of her doing a wing walk at the age of 80, and wrote, "God I loved her for wanting to do this. One of the oldest ever ladies to wing walk."
The montage also included a photo of Pat in front of a beautiful sunset, and another one of her enjoying a show at The Royal Albert Hall. Phillip reminisced about his mother's adventurous spirit and love for life.
Pat's passing comes after her hospitalisation last year when she fell seriously ill. Phillip took a break from showbiz and stayed with his mother in Cornwall to care for her. He kept a low profile during this time, avoiding media attention.
Over the past year, Phillip spent a great deal of time caring for his mother, especially after his exit from ITV. He stayed by her bedside during her illness and held a vigil for her.
Pat was also a mother to Phillip's younger brother, Timothy, who is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for sexually abusing a teenage boy. This loss is undoubtedly a difficult one for the family.
