Viewers of Channel 5's Cast Away rushed to social media on Monday night as they watched Phillip Schofield's return to the screen and were convinced the former This Morning presenter made a dig at his ex-colleague and best pal Holly Willoughby, appearing to mock her.
The shamed presenter stepped down from the ITV breakfast show last year and admitted to an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a young male colleague.
And when his co-host Holly returned to present This Morning without him following the controversy, she said to viewers: "Hello, Firstly, are you okay?
I hope so. It feels very strange sat here without Phil." Holly's 'Are you okay?' line went viral following the broadcast, and it seemed Phillip was referencing it in his new show - which sees him head to a desert island located off the coast of Madagascar.
