Phillip Schofield may be known as a silver fox – but that couldn’t have been further from the truth on Saturday. The This Morning presenter had a drastic makeover after his mum persuaded him to dye his white hair a bright shade of blue! Sharing an image on Instagram of him and his mum, who was also sporting blue hair, Phillip said: My mother encouraged this!!! Luckily for Phillip, the dye was from a spray can and simply washes out with shampoo.
Looking good!
Sharing the moment he was coerced into the blue rinse on his Instagram stories, Phillip started off easy with some simple glitter sprayed into his hair, however he wasn't a fan of that, saying into the camera: "I hate fecking glitter, I hate it." But his family didn't seem to think that glitter was enough, as they soon encouraged him go one step further and have the blue colour sprayed onto his hair. After wincing at the sight of the product, Phillip asked: "Does it wash out? I'm on the telly on Monday, does it wash out? Are you sure?" Following his family's reassuring comments, the presenter gave in and sighed: "Go on then."
