Phillip Schofield says he was "disappointed" not to be in the studio for This Morning today after catching Covid.
The television presenter tested positive for the virus last night, meaning he was unable to present the show alongside Rochelle Humes, with Alison Hammond stepping into his place.
He has also confessed his place presenting Dancing On Ice with Holly Willoughby is also in doubt as he is "cutting it fine" after testing positive for the virus yesterday evening.
As he called into the ITV morning show today, he showed off his positive lateral flow test to Alison and Rochelle, as he admitted he was disappointed to be missing a busy show today.
Alison and Rochelle asked Phil how he was doing, as he insisted he was mostly fine. He said he didn't have a sore throat and that he had only sneezed twice since testing positive. However, he did admit to having a slight fever.
Showing off his hoodie, which read "isolation nation", Phil chatted with the presenting duo as they discussed what was coming up on the show including Gok Wan's Chinese cookery segment and interviews with Lily James and Sebastian Stan.
Phillip admitted he was disappointed to be missing the programme, especially a segment about Chinese medicine to celebrate Chinese New Year today. As he wasn't able to be on the show, he sent the producer a picture of his tongue so he could still have his own Chinese medicine plan worked on by the show's guest.
He also expressed doubt about appearing on Dancing On Ice this weekend, as he said he was "cutting it a bit fine" given when his Covid test came back as positive.
He confirmed he had contracted the virus in a post on social media last night.
"Well b******s," he wrote at the time over a picture of his lateral flow, "Currently just a slightly sore throat."
Holly has been missing off This Morning as of late as she films a new show for the BBC. She has been presenting Dancing On Ice though alongside Phil, but there are fears he could miss next weekend's show.
