And Molly has now released a touching tribute to her dad on Instagram, where she has 44,500 followers, reports The Mirror.

She posted a photo of the whole family, beaming in a sweet holiday snap.

Tagging her dad’s Instagram handle, Molly wrote: “Love you always, so proud of you”.

Despite being Phillip’s rock and supporting his decision, a friend close to the couple has told The Mirror that Stephanie is “absolutely shattered” that “they have been living a lie for so long.”

“Steph is being a rock for Phillip, as she always has been, but there’s no denying she is absolutely shattered by all this.

“She and the girls love him very much and will support him as much as they can, but the knowledge they have been living a lie for so long is terribly hurtful.”

They added: “It’s humiliating to think that you’re married to someone who doesn’t love you the way you love them.”

In his interview, Phillip opened up to Holly about how his family were dealing with the news.

Asked how Steph is coping with the situation, Phillip continued: “Yeah, it’s tough, but this is not something that’s happened quickly, I’ve had to deal with this in my head for quite some time.

“We’ve been honest and open. .. Steph… I can’t write in any statement what I feel about that woman. She’s amazing, she’s incredible.
