Phillip Schofield has been forced to spend time at home after testing positive for coronavirus, but he revealed that missing Dancing on Ice on Sunday actually had a positive outcome after his house flooded.

The TV star – whose presenting duties were temporarily taken over by Stephen Mulhern – took to his Instagram Stories to share a close-up of a constant stream of water droplets falling onto his wooden floorboards where a large puddle had gathered. "Life is full of small consolations…If I hadn't tested positive and had gone to @dancingonice the house would be flooded," he wrote.

Phillip clearly kept his sense of humour during the ordeal, as he joked: "Remind me not to turn on that light," next to a clip of water dripping through his spotlights.
They were later removed from the ceiling and large square holes had been cut out to rectify the leak. "Surprisingly I'm very calm. As they say in the movies, 'Don't look up.'" Fingers crossed it won't be long before Phillip's home is fixed!

Phillip suffered a leak at his home in Chiswick
The This Morning presenter formerly lived in Oxfordshire alongside his wife Stephanie and their two daughters Molly and Ruby. After he came out as gay in 2020, he is thought to have moved into a new home in Chiswick, London worth £2million.
Phillip has shared small glimpses inside his ultra-chic modern décor, which includes a glass roof in the conservatory and an impressive fire pit in the garden believed to cost over £1,000.
The TV star showed off the damage to his ceiling
The star previously admitted to fellow This Morning host Rochelle Humes that he gets his interior inspiration by peering into other people's houses. He revealed: "I probably shouldn’t say this anyway, but this time of the year, when the nights are really dark, when everyone has got their curtains open and you can look into everyone's houses, you walk up the street and go, 'That's nice wallpaper… Ooh, I like those curtains'."
