5 minutes with Phillip Schofield

The This Morning host tells us about his Christmas

What’s Christmas at the Schofields’ like? It’s a big open house with upwards of 30 guests. We light the fires and pile the table high!

Any traditions? Yes! Years ago, Steph got me a flagpole. Now, each year, we pin a note to Santa on it saying, ‘Please stop here!’ And what might be under the tree for you? No idea! But I prefer giving. Fortunately, I knew exactly what to get Steph by September. I could tell you, but I’d have to kill you…

Best and worst presents? Worst: the scratchy sweater my nan knitted me. And best was the model zoo my dad made for me when I was 10. You must miss him, especially at Christmas? I do, every day since he died in 2008, and not just at Christmas. We always raise a glass to him.
