Phillip Schofield is facing major struggle with £1.2M home, here's why

Phillip Schofield’s life changed drastically after his affair with a runner from This Morning was exposed to the world. The 61-year-old ITV presenter had to step down from his position as the host and was also dropped by his agents of 35 years YMU. If that wasn’t enough, Phillip also had to let go of his ambassador role at The Prince’s Trust after his 'unwise, but not illegal' affair with a younger male colleague was brought into the limelight.

Phillip Schofield slashes the price for his London home

Amidst the shatters of his life, Phillip is hit by another one as he’s forced to reduce the asking of his London penthouse flat. It is understood that he and his younger lover had secret trysts in this apartment and the house is in a ‘very good condition.’ Phillip bought the house with his estranged wife Stephanie in 2012 for £1.2 million.

They had already reduced the price to £100,000 in June and now it is further gone down to £85,000, according to MailOnline. The house has a great view of The Shard and is also near The London Studios where This Morning used to be filmed until 2018 before the programme moved to the Television Centre in White City. Phillip has currently sought support from his mother and plans to stay with her at her Newquay home for the foreseeable future.

Phillip Schofield and his lovers’ secret trysts

The price of the house is understood to have gone down due to his damaged reputation and it being a spot for their secret meetings. Eamonn Holmes - one of Phillip’s most vocal critics - revealed during an Interview with Dan Wootton GB News that the young male lover ‘was secretly ferried between ITV's studios and the presenter's flat in an attempt to hide their affair.’

Holmes said:

Thursday was playtime when he and Phillip would hit the town and then he obviously stayed overnight. There are records to show that he was brought in the next day separately in cars paid for by ITV.
