February 09, 2020 - 17:28 GMT Jenni McKnight Phillip Schofield has enjoyed a longer career on the small screen than most – 34 years to be precise. Many may put that down to his fantastic relationship with his 'TV wife' Holly Willoughby, who he co-hosts This Morning and Dancing on Ice with.
var playerInstance=playerInstance || []; playerInstance['SLX7cP7J']=document.addEventListener=> { window.player=lf.player; }); WATCH: Phillip Schofield reveals he is gayThe Dancing on Ice host first started at rival channel BBC One as a bookings clerk. But aged 19 he moved with his family to New Zealand where he made his television debut as the initial presenter of the youth music programme Shazam! He also spent two years working for the Auckland-based station Radio Hauraki.
In 2002, Phillip scored the plum role of co-presenting This Morning following John Leslie's firing. But it wasn't until 2009 that he was joined by Holly, having first presented the magazine show with Fern Britton. Holly replaced Fern, and the rest, as they say, is history. In July 2006, he signed an exclusive two-year contract with ITV, reported to have been worth £5 million.
With such an impressive TV career, it's no wonder Phillip is estimated to be worth an impressive £9.8million, reportedly earning £600,000 a year just for fronting This Morning. He also has several advertising and corporate deals with companies such as We Buy Any Car and Waitrose, which reportedly nets him a tidy take-home of more than £1.7 million a year. We've no doubt Phillip's career will continue to soar and he'll be on our TV screens for years to come.
