Phillip Schofield makes ITV I'm A Celebrity appearance claim as he drops hint to show bosses

Phillip Schofield has made an I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here claim as he and Holly Willoughby chatted about the latest goings on in the jungle. The presenting duo were back on This Morning on Thursday (November 10) for their last show of the week.

As they have done every day so far, Holly and Phillip were joined by two familiar faces to discuss and dissect the latest jungle shenanigans. Their latest I'm A Celeb segment on the ITV daytime show came the day after Matt Hancock finally made his debut appearance.

The former health secretary has joined the ITV reality show, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, alongside fellow latecomer Seann Walsh. Matt and the comedian, 36, were seen joining the likes of Boy George, Loose Women's Charlene White, rugby star Mike Tindall and Corrie star Sue Cleaver in the main camp after taking part in their first trial.

And it's fair to say that it has been dominating the topic of conversation throughout ITV's daytime shows. On This Morning, Holly and Phillip were joined by former campmates and show regulars Matthew Wright and Lisa Snowdon.

It was when Matthew complained about West Suffolk MP Matt, who was suspended from the Tory party when he was revealed to be joining the show, being given the opportunity to be on the show, that Phillip made a revelation about rejecting offers to go to Australia and take part in the popular programme himself.

"It was a great learning experience. I would say I came out of it a better person," Matthew shared. "[Christopher] Biggins told me it would be a game-changer for me and it was. I kind of wish that privilege was bestowed on someone slightly more deserving than Matt Hancock."

The gesturing towards Phillip, Matthew said: "What about you? I’m looking at you! You would be perfect. Huge star," to which Holly appeared to agree and said: "You'd be able to do everything though. He could eat everything, he could do everything. He wouldn't be bothered."

The 60-year-old then replied: "It's the only one I'd do, it's the only one I'd do. But the answer is currently and I was asked..."

He then added, appearing to give a sign to show bosses in the process: "I'm asked all the time...no, not yet." As Holly, 41, quizzed: "Not yet?" Phillip replied: "Never say never to anything," as she added: "I am never doing it," to laughter from her co-stars.

But Phillip implored her to do another show instead. "You'd be great on Strictly," he said before trying to move on. As he did, Holly shook her head and mouthed 'no' with a smile on her on her face before adding; "Never!"
