PHILLIP Schofield got a scolding from his This Morning bosses after joking he was still Covid positive - despite being back at work.
The presenter returned to the daytime sofa after coronavirus forced him to isolate for a week. After two negative tests, Phillip was finally fit to come back to work with co-host Holly Willoughby but landed himself in trouble within moments.
As he told viewers Formula One racing driver Lando Norris was in the studio, excited Phil said: "I can't wait." "That's why you're back, isn't it," teased Holly.
He replied straight-faced saying: "It's the only reason I'm back. I'm still positive, actually." Throwing her head back laughing, Holly quickly added: "Don't even joke..." Phillip then held his hands up and repeated that it was clearly a joke and he wasn't Covid positive.
