Former This Morning star, Phillip Schofield, looked deep in thought as he picked up his cream Mini Cooper from the garage after it was repaired in West London
Phillip Schofield looked decidedly downcast as he collected his Mini Cooper from the garage. It comes after the former This Morning star pranged his prized £60,000 Jaguar in September. The ex-Cube and Dancing on Ice host, 63, appeared deep in thought as he picked up his car, which had been repaired, in London while clutching some paperwork, sporting his signature fitted black jeans and Chelsea boots.
Grimacing against the cold, the dad-of-two – who returned to our screens last year in his jaw-dropping three-part show Cast Away – left the garage, wearing a grey hoodie and navy puffer jacket before being papped driving his Mini away. It’s not the first time this year that the Broom Cupboard star, who left This Morning in 2023 following an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a younger colleague, has had car trouble.

In September, Phillip watched as his £60,000 Jaguar was towed away following a collision. The veteran presenter was spotted in the street as the swanky black motor was loaded onto a recovery truck. Pictures showed Phillip’s pricey car came off worse for wear after the incident, with the rear tyre and far side door suffering the worst of the damage.
But Schofield, dressed in blue jeans and a salmon polo jumper, was all smiles as a man came to his rescue and got the car on the back of the rescue truck. The former This Morning anchor was overheard joking and laughing with the recovery team saying: “It’s only a piece of metal” and was generally pragmatic about the whole incident.
Also having car trouble recently was Phil’s former co-host and best pal, Holly Willoughby. The mum-of-three, 44, pleaded guilty after knocking a man off his scooter near her £3m home in August, which saw her given six points on her license and fined.
Holly, who presented This Morning with Phil for 14 years before they both left in 2023, was driving her Mini without due care and attention after colliding with the victim near her £3m home in August, a court heard.
A hearing took place last week Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court in London, although Holly, whose name appeared in court documents as Holly Baldwin – which is her married name – did not attend. The former This Morning star pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention via post.
The court was shown footage of the Wylde Moon guru turning right into a side street in her £25,000 black Mini Cooper without indicating and hitting the oncoming white Piaggio scooter.
The victim, who was not named, was seen flying off his bike after hitting Holly’s car. He sustained a fractured vertebra in his neck and a broken toe.
