Phillip Schofield won praise from his followers after doing his bit to help the environment during his holiday in the Maldives. The This Morning presenter, who spent the Easter break on an exotic holiday with his family, swum out into the sea during a downpour to pick up a plastic bottle that was floating past their overwater villa.
"Swimming out to get someone else's plastic... saving the planet, one bottle at a time," he captioned the video. The short clip received a positive response from Phillip's 1.8 million Instagram followers, with many saying he had inspired them to do their bit to help. "If everyone took just a little more responsibility we would be living in a cleaner planet," one wrote, while another added: "What a hero."
