Elsewhere, Phillip opened up about his “weird” 58th birthday celebrations in isolation earlier this month.
The television personality told his co-host Holly Willoughby during This Morning: “It’s a weird birthday, lacking in hugs, but I had a lovely Zoom with friends.”
Phillip added that he had enjoyed a birthday chat with friends including Christine Bleakly, Bradley Walsh, Davina McCall, Emma Bunton and Leigh Francis.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
