Phillip Schofield shares family photo during lockdown, appears to contradict reports he's moved out

Phillip Schofield has shared a photo of his family during a game of Murder Mystery over the Bank Holiday weekend.

The This Morning presenter was pictured with his wife, Stephanie, daughters Molly and Ruby, and Ruby’s boyfriend, in the photo posted to his Instagram account.

“Murder mystery night... we’re all in character and taking it very seriously,” Schofield wrote in the caption.

His friend and fellow TV presenter Rochelle Humes commented: “Amazing!”

The picture is the first photo of the family together since tabloid reports that Schofield had moved out of the family home, after he came out as gay in February this year.

Schofield appeared to confirm this is not the case in a reply to a fan. “Where did you get that I moved out?” he asked the follower, before adding: “Oh yeah, the papers,” followed by a laughing emoji and a thumbs up.

The TV star received widespread support and praise from colleagues, friends and fellow TV stars after his announcement, including from his wife.

During the Murder Mystery game, Schofield shared photos of the scripts on his Instagram account.

This Morning continues to air on ITV.
