This Morning’s Phillip Schofield shocks fans as he shows off massively ripped arms

THIS Morning’s Phillip Schofield revealed his chiselled bicep after pumping iron.

The TV star, 59, shared a close-up photo of his flexed arm on Instagram with his sleeve rolled over the muscle.

He wrote: “Aww the hazelnut is trying to become a Brazil nut.. one day a pecan [laughing emojis].”

Last week Phillip fought back tears as his ITV colleagues paid tribute to his 40 years on TV.

He got the surprise of his life as Lorraine Kelly entered his dressing room and revealed they were dedicating her show to him.

He was then showered with messages of praise from his co-stars over the years – including Holly Willoughby who joined him on the show.

Presenting duos Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, and Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly also helped mark the milestone.

One segment saw Holly, 41, recall how Schofield had specifically requested she join him as his This Morning co-presenter.

She said: “I don’t know why you were so convinced of that and I thank you every day because I know that really you were on your own with that school of thought, and it was really down to you standing by that, that I got that job.

“Without a doubt, without you there is no way I would be doing This Morning today.

“And I came onto that show and I was green and new. I knew how to do a bit of telly because I had done Saturday mornings, so I knew the nuts and bolts.

“But This Morning is a huge, grown-up, important telly show and I just sat there like a sponge and absorbed everything and learnt everything.”

Holly described her long-standing co-host as “so generous, so kind, so patient” and said he had been “willing to just guide me through it” before adding: “He still does it now.”
