During the news segment of the show, Vanessa Feltz and Giles Brandreth joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip to chat about today's headlines, including of course, the cost-of-living crisis.
WATCH: Phillip Schofield speaks out about government help
They were speaking about the fact that King Charles III has opted to give his staff a one-off payment to help out during these tough times, which will come from his private funds and they also touched on tax rises. During the chat, Phillip admitted he had a government rebate, but he has tried to give it back.
The star revealed he was sent a letter about a monetary rebate, and he explained that he looked for an email address or some way to return the money but was unsuccessful in his efforts.
"I'll be honest, I got a thing through the letter box the other day from the council saying you qualify for help. I then tried to give it back. There was nowhere on there website I could give it back, so eventually you're looking for email addresses. How do I not have this," the star said.

After the presenter's revelation, Giles explained that he and his wife have chosen to give their payment to charity instead, suggesting Phillip does the same.
