The doting dad, who also shares Molly, 27, with wife Stephanie Lowe, moved out from the family home after he bravely came out as gay. He moved into his £2million Chiswick property in September 2020, and the leafy West London location is a hit with the A-list and is home to co-star Holly and ITV pal Declan Donnelly.

Speaking to Holly last year about coming out to his family, Phillip said: "Steph has been incredible – I love her so very much. She is the kindest soul I have ever met.
"My girls have been astonishing in their love, hugs and encouraging words of comfort. Both mine and Steph's entire families have stunned me with their love, instant acceptance and support. Of course they are worried about Steph, but I know they will scoop us both up."
