Phillip also hit back at claims there was an alleged “feud” with his co-presenter Holly.
The TV veteran insisted the reports are “a shame”, denying there was any animosity between the pair.
Speaking to The Mail On Sunday, Phillip admitted the pair share an “organic” friendship and added the atmosphere at This Morning is “wonderful”.
Asked about speculations of tension, the This Morning star said: “Can you imagine a feud between us ever happening? It’s not as if we have to defend anything.
He continued: “Holly is the sister I never had, we think at the same speed. It’s so organic… it’s a shame.”
