Gino D'Acampo suffers 'awkward' Phillip Schofield moment on Family Fortunes as viewers say 'oh dear'

Family Fortunes viewers couldn't help but comment when Gino D'Acampo suffered an 'awkward' moment on the pre-recorded programme. Those tuning in to the quiz show on Sunday night (May 21) were left squirming when - in a poorly timed question about This Morning - former host Phillip Schofield was one of the answers.

Phillip sensationally quit This Morning after 20 years. The presenter said in a statement that the programme had "become the story" and that he wanted to "do what I can to protect the show that I love" after rumours of a behind the scenes 'rift' with co-host Holly Willoughby became rife.

Having already presented his last episode on Thursday, May 18, Phillip said: "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story. Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind. I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love."
