The This Morning host bravely came out earlier this week via an Instagram Story, where he detailed the pain involved in keeping his sexuality a secret for so long.
"With the strength and support of my wife and daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay," he wrote.
"This is something that has caused many heart-breaking conversations at home. I have been married to Steph for nearly 27 years and we have two beautiful grown-up daughters, Molly and Ruby.
"Today, quite rightly, being gay is a reason to celebrate and be proud. Yes, I am feeling pain and confusion, but that only comes from the hurt I am causing to my family."
Phillip later told co-host Holly Willoughby in an emotive interview that he "never had any secrets" from her and their relationship had always been "honest and open."
Holly had shared a post prior to this saying that she had "never been more proud" of her friend.Explore more on these topics:
