Phillip Schofield has found himself at the centre of an online scam which very nearly saw two of his friends lose hundreds of pounds to fraudsters.
At the start of a new week on This Morning, Phillip was once again joined by co-host Holly Willoughby to front the live episode, which saw them joined by expert Alexis Conran to discuss the rise in fake celebrity endorsements, which have been created by criminals to con people out of large amounts of money.
As Phillip and Holly sought advice on behalf of viewers on what they should be looking out for to spot a fake and how they can protect themselves online, Alexis used an example actually involving Phillip. A web page appeared on screen with Phillip's face on, along with the headline 'Bank of England sues Phillip Schofield for what he said on live TV.'
