Phillip Schofield's Covid update

The 59-year-old TV personality appeared on This Morning in a video call with Rochelle and Alison.

Phillip previously revealed his only Covid symptom was a sore throat.

When asked for a health update, Phillip said: "I haven't even got a sore throat now, I sneezed twice and that's it!"

The star's positive result came hours after he appeared live on the ITV daytime show with Rochelle.

Phillip has been sharing updates about his Covid experience on Instagram - revealing his latest TV recommendation and food habits in quarantine.

So far, he has binge watched series 1 of This is Us -  a TV drama following the lives of three siblings going through personal struggles at different intervals of life.

Phillip described the show - available to watch on Disney+ - as "brilliant".

Meanwhile he also appeared to be raiding his freezer for food.

"I'm eating my way through it," he told his Instagram followers.

Will Phillip Schofield present Dancing on Ice this week?

Current Covid rules mean anyone hoping to leave isolation early needs to have negative test on day five and six.

If Phillip Schofield doesn't get those two negative tests, it is not possible for the star to appear on Sunday’s Dancing On Ice live show.

The presenter hosts the ITV celebrity skating competition alongside Holly Willoughby, his co-presenter on This Morning.
