About Phillip Schofield
Phillip Bryan Schofield is an English television presenter. He began his UK television career as a Children's BBC continuity announcer from 1985 to 1987, and went on to present a wide range of high-profile programmes for the BBC and ITV, including Going Live! (1987–1993), This Morning (2002–2023), Dancing on Ice, All Star Mr & Mrs (2008–2016), and The Cube. Schofield (1935–2008) worked on Pargolla Road with Bilbo, a company which made the first surfboards in the UK. Schofield often attended the Radio 1 Roadshow, which he described as "an unforgettable event when it came to town." When he was 15, Schofield's first foray into media was a Sunday show on Hospital Radio Plymouth. After many years of writing letters to the BBC, at 17, Schofield took up the position of bookings clerk and tea boy for BBC Radio at Broadcasting House in London, where he was, at the time, the youngest employee.
