Phillip Schofield has savaged three "s***s" at ITV during his new Channel 5 documentary Cast Away. Schofe, 62, spoke out during the filming of the show, which comes 18 months on from his downfall and disgraced exit at ITV.

The Sun newspaper reports the trio are his former This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby, This Morning editor Martin Frizell,and chief at ITV Dame Carolyn McCall. Frizell is in Schofe's crosshairs after letting him take the fall over “queuegate” when he and Holly were accused of pushing in to see the Queen lying in state.

Phil fumed: “They know how important that was to me. They know when you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough.” He goes on: “People can be fake. They can be so fake with you when it’s all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal.

“There are a lot of amazing people in morning television. I think there are only three sh*s. One of them is a coward who never stepped up in queuegate. One is a coward, because they never stepped up when I was being battered And the other is just brand-orientated.

"Not what you expect, not what you think you’re going to get.” He says: “I was suicidal and they sent me what looked like a cut and pasted text. Thirty one years. There is so much more I could say.” He says: “They’ve taken pretty much everything. Reputation, dignity, legacy, everything.

“I’m not bleating, I’m just getting it off my chest. And anyone who’s bitter about that, honestly, you can f* off ’cause I don’t give a s*t. I quit.” Cast Away sees Phil spend ten days alone on a small island off Madagascar and will air on Monday night.
