Phillip Schofield has opened up about meeting Declan Donnelly and Ali Astall's newborn daughter Isla Elizabeth, revealing that the two-month-old is "gorgeous". The This Morning presenter was speaking to Tuesday's guests, I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp presenters Joel Dommett, Joe Swash and Scarlett Moffatt, when he said he had visited Dec at home with his wife Stephanie. "I went round to Dec's house the other day, we went to see the new baby," he told the trio. Which prompted Joe Swash to ask, "How's the baby?", to which Phillip replied: "Gorgeous, gorgeous Isla".
