Lockdown has given the TV sensation the time and the chance to write down everything which went on behind the scenes of his life, career, family and friends.

Shockwaves were sent through the showbiz world when Phil announced he was gay after being married for nearly 27 years to Steph and raising their grown up daughters.

In a piece to camera, the This Morning star explained he wasn't able to write this book until he had come out about his sexuality to the world.

Phil delighted in telling fans he had been asked to write a book many times over the years.

The new budding author said the book has been a "work in progress" over the years.

He wrote: "After being asked many times, and after many years of wanting to, I have written my autobiography. I wrote the first line of the book, in my head, when I was about 14.

"It took me until 2017 for me to finally write the first chapter and then I stopped because the time wasn’t right. It has certainly been something of a work in progress!

"Over the years I have been making notes of the stories and events of my life that I thought would tell my story.

"Finally, in Lockdown, I knew that all the pieces of the jigsaw had been put into place and I was ready to write - that and a new discovery... lots of free time!

"It has been a fascinating experience, both immense fun and deeply emotional. Finally, after all these years, I’m happy it’s gone from my head, to the page."
