A video on TikTok has went viral after a 21-year-old claimed that he had been having private conversations with This Morning’s Phillip Schofield for the last three years.
TikTok star Oli O’Toole, who has 74,000 followers on the app, said that he has been ‘Snapchatting’ the 59-year-old since he was 17 on the social media app, writes The Mirror.
Oli decided to create a TikTok video where he shared snippets of the messages as he lip-synced along to Miley Cyrus’ song Ordinary Girl, from the show Hannah Montana.
He captioned the. video: “Me when people find out me and Phillip Schofield Snapchat x” and captioned it “i see the envy,” as he posted it on the video streaming platform.
He added the hashtags “#foryou #funny #phillipschofield #snapchat #famous”.
It had been viewed almost 340,000 times and had 28,000 likes.

Oli pointed to the messages, which date back to April 2017, as he mouthed the lyrics: “Wish that they could see that underneath I’m just an ordinary girl.
“Sometimes I’m lazy. I get bored, I get scared, I feel ignored, I feel happy, I get silly, I choke on my own words.”

In a bid to prove the messages were real, Oli shared a screenshot of Phillip’s verified Snapchat account that showed the username ‘phillipschofe’, which was the same username given above the messages he’d been receiving.
Phillip, who shares daughters Molly, 28, and Ruby, 25, with wife Stephanie Lowe who he separated from last year after coming out as gay, described himself in his Snapchat bio as “Film/TV personality”.
The presenter, who also hosts Dancing On Ice with Holly, has 3 million followers on his page and jokes in his profile: “Don’t send me pictures of blackness just to lift your score and don’t send me pics of your fecking ceiling. And I love you but don’t do streaks.”
Oli’s video, posted on TikTok yesterday, has since been removed from the site.
Phillip’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
