Phillip Schofield shares glimpse of his wildly unkempt hair

He recently moved out of the £2million family home he shared with his wife Stephanie.

But Phillip Schofield seemed to be keeping in good spirits as he shared light-hearted snaps to Instagram on Sunday. 

The TV personality, 58, who is known for his usually well-groomed silver locks, gave a glimpse of his wildly unkempt hair amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The star appeared to be back at the family home in Oxford for the weekend as a glimpse of his leafy garden could be seen behind him in the snap,

Phil sat in a baggy blue T-shirt against the backdrop of they sunlit garden as he passed comment on his new look.

The This Morning presenter gazed directly at the camera and raised his eyebrows playfully before adding the caption: ‘Skype’d my mum, my hair made her jump.’ 

Phillip also took to Snapchat to add a close-up of his mane before adding ‘this is getting ridiculous’ alongside a pair of scissors.

The amusing insights come after the father-of-two revealed he is gay earlier this year.

He has since amicably moved out of the £2million family home in Oxford which he shared with Stephanie, his wife of 27 years, and their daughters Molly, 27, and Ruby, 24. 

Phillip is now living in a flat in London but it is not clear if his new home is temporary or permanent.

In February, when Schofield discussed his decision to come out, he insisted: ‘We’ll always be a family’ and it’s clear they remain close. 

He also insisted he still loves Steph as much  as he did when they met ‘if not more’. 

Staff at the TV studios have been made aware of the star’s change of address, including the drivers who ferry him to and from the studio.

A source said: ‘There has been talk for weeks that Phillip isn’t living with Steph any more, that he had moved out for good and had a new home. He has a place in central London.

‘It’s not as big but it’s the beginning of a new life for him. It very much also seems as though their marriage could well be over.

Schofield surprised fans on February 7 by issuing a statement on social media declaring that after 27 years of marriage, he was ‘coming to terms with the fact that I am gay’.

In a choreographed follow-up, he took his place on the This Morning sofa besides co-host Holly Willoughby to further pour his heart out.

Writing on Instagram about his decision to come out, he said: ‘With the strength and support of my wife and daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay.

‘My inner conflict contrasts with an outside world that has changed so very much for the better. Today, quite rightly, being gay is a reason to celebrate and be proud.’

He later admitted in a newspaper interview that it was too early to say if he and Steph would stay married.

‘It has taken me a long time to get here, I am not rushing to get to any other place,’ he said. ‘We will always be a family… And where the wind blows us I don’t know. But I still love Steph as much as when we first met. More probably.’
