ITV remain tight-lipped as Phillip Schofield rumoured for TV comeback

Phillip Schofield says he has ‘lost everything'

ITV is remaining tight-lipped about reports that Phillip Schofield could be making a huge TV comeback.

According to reports, the former This Morning host could make his return to screens on Celebrity Big Brother.

However, ITV has since confirmed that any decisions made about a celebrity version of the ITV reality show will be made “in due course”.

A spokesperson told Express.co.uk: “At present, we are focused on the current series of Big Brother and any announcements regarding future series will be made in due course.”

“CBB is the perfect place for stars who are riding off the wave of a scandal, or something big happening in their lives,” a source claimed to The Sun.

“Phillip Schofield is someone they’re going to approach, as well as people like Jennifer Arcuri, who had an alleged fling with Boris.

“They have a lot of cash to splash, just under £2million. The bumper budget should allow for at least one or maybe two big names to set the series alight.

“The more controversial the line-up the better. They want it to really come back with a bang.”

Phillip 61, hasn’t been seen on screens since he resigned from ITV earlier this year after admitting to an affair with a younger member of the This Morning team.

Big Brother only returned to screens this month after six years off the air, with a home on ITV2 and new hosts in the shape of AJ Odudu and Will Best.

The revamped reality show has attracted huge viewing figures with the launch watched by 3.6million people either live or on catch-up.

This is the highest audience since the reality show first aired on Channel 4 in 2001 when it was hosted by Davina McCall.

Big Brother is on ITV2 nightly at 9pm and streams on ITVX.
