Susanna Reid and Phillip Schofield were colleagues for many years, working next door to each other on their respective morning shows. Susanna, who has been hosting Good Morning Britain since 2014, often overlapped with Phillip, who was the host of This Morning for over two decades. However, despite their long history together, they no longer have any contact.
Recently, Phillip made a comeback to television with his three-part series, Cast Away, where he spent 10 days on a remote island in Madagascar. During this time, he opened up about his 2023 scandal, where he admitted to lying about an affair with a younger male runner. This ultimately led to his departure from ITV, where he had been working for many years.
When asked about Phillip's return to television, Susanna had a curt response. In an interview with The Times, she simply stated that she did not watch his show and does not know him personally. This is not the first time Susanna has been asked about her former colleague, as she also shared her thoughts on Holly Willoughby's departure from This Morning earlier this year.
Holly, who had been a co-host on This Morning for 14 years, left the show due to an alleged kidnapping plot against her. Susanna empathized with Holly's decision to prioritize her family's safety and praised her as an exceptional presenter.
As for Phillip, he has made it clear that he does not see a future for himself in television. During Cast Away, he stated that he has no plans to return to presenting anytime soon and that he has lived a hundred TV lives. He also expressed his feelings towards ITV, claiming that he was fired for someone else's crime - referring to his brother's conviction for child abuse.
Phillip's departure from ITV was announced in a statement, with the network expressing their disappointment and accepting his resignation. However, Phillip later revealed that he was actually fired and agreed to say he had resigned in order to make the situation neater for everyone involved.
Despite the drama surrounding his departure, Phillip has no ill feelings towards his former colleagues and even praised Holly as a clever, funny, and brilliant presenter. As for his relationship with Susanna, the two no longer have any contact, but she has only seen Holly a few times since their shows air at different times.
In the end, Phillip's return to television and his scandal may have caused some tension and drama, but it seems that everyone involved has moved on and is focused on their own careers and lives. As for Susanna, she continues to host Good Morning Britain and has no plans to watch Phillip's show or renew their friendship.
