Phillip Schofield makes red carpet appearance with stunning daughter as he points out issue after '200 years in showbiz'

Phillip Schofield broke cover from his break from our TV screens to attend a premiere with his stunning daughter. The presenter is currently on his lengthy annual summer break from This Morning with him and Holly Willoughby being replaced by a whole host of familiar faces.

While Holly has been sharing some summery snaps from her time away with her husband and their three children, Phillip has kept a quieter profile. He last posted on Instagram to pay tribute to 'friend' Bernard Cribbins, who starred in Doctor Who and The Railway Children, following his death at the end of last month.

He posted a throwback picture of the pair to his Instagram Story. It showed the TV star without his trademark silver locks with them appearing to be outside wearing headphones. "I'm so sad that my wonderful and achingly funny friend Bernard Cribbins has died," the 60-year-old penned. He added: "The only person my dad was impressed that I knew. RIP Cribbins."

Prior to that, Phillip jumped on the social media platform to share a worrying snap of himself sporting a hefty bandage on his eye. But the TV star was actually pleased as he had undergone surgery to banish the 'floaters' which had been plaguing the eyesight in his left eye.

But on Monday night, Phillip was out with his daughter Molly as they attended the House Of The Dragon Sky Group Premiere in Leicester Square, London. Before strutting the red carpet, Molly shared her excitement by reposting a clip from the Game of Thrones TikTok to her Instagram Story.

It showed a dragon bursting through a screen before breathing fire as part of the promo for the prequel to the hit HBO series. "So excited @schofe," Molly shared as Phillip replied: "Me toooooo!!" He then posted a snap of the pair posing on the red carpet, writing: "SO excited to be entering the #houseofdragon with @mollyschofe."

The father-daughter duo looked gorgeous with talent manager Molly, 28, donning a striking purple dress with a frilled hem and three-quarter-length sleeves. She paired the look with a pair of black heels and matching clutch while her dad opted for a smart-casual outfit, wearing a pair of belted jeans with a plum-coloured shirt and navy blazer.

But after posing for the awaiting cameras, Phillip took to Instagram to point out a problem - despite spending '200 years in showbiz'. He penned alongside a snap of the pair: "Ep 1 of the @housofdragonhbo is epic!!"

He then added: "BUT... after nearly 200 years in showbiz, you'd think I'd know what to do with my fecking thumb!!!!" referring to his thumb sticking out from under his blazer while the rest of his hand remained in his pocket.
