Phillip Schofield shares photo of unkempt hair as he admits he shocked his own mum with the wild look – The Sun

PHILLIP Schofield has revealed that his unkempt hair shocked his mum as he decided to embrace the wild hairdo.

The 58-year-old star is known for being well-groomed, with his silver locks usually styled into a slick side parting.

But Phil appears to have lost control of his mane, taking to Instagram to share a glimpse of his new look.

In the snap, the This Morning presenter is holding back a smile as he stares into the camera.

Wearing a baggy blue jumper, Phil’s white hair is standing on end – with his eyebrows raised in bemusement.

Phil captioned the post: “Skype’d my mum, my hair made her jump.”

On Snapchat, Phil added a close-up image of his sticking-up ‘do, writing: “This is getting ridiculous”.

The photos appear to have been taken at Phil’s new London flat, with it being revealed last week that he’d moved out of his family home after coming out as gay.

Phil was spotted arriving at his new home after leaving the sprawling £2million Oxfordshire property that he shared with wife Steph and their children, 27-year-old Molly and Ruby, 24.

Phil announced his sexuality in February in a moving Instagram post before discussing it live on This Morning while supported by close friend and co-host Holly Willoughby.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun at the time, Phillip admitted he knew he was gay when he married Steph, and battled suicidal thoughts as he battled with his sexuality.

He went on to confess that he did not know if his marriage would last — and refused to say if he was in a relationship with a man.
