BREAKING: Phillip Schofield complains about 'twiglet' legs in workout as he reveals huge Cast Away weight loss

Phillip Schofield has given his fans a glimpse at his workout routine - and "twiglet legs" - ahead of his big TV comeback next week.

The broadcaster is set to appear on new Channel 5 series Cast Away, marking his first appearance since his departure from ITV's This Morning in May 2023. The star exited the popular show amidst revelations of a relationship with a much younger male colleague.

Taking to Instagram Stories on Friday, the former ITV favourite shared a snap of himself lifting some weights in a pair of white shorts and a black T-shirt. "Leg day," Schofield captioned the snap. "Putting back the 6kg I lost on the island with muscle... not carbs. #twiglets."

Schofield's return to frequent social media posting comes as he seemingly launches a bid to return to the spotlights after 16-months in the showbiz wilderness.
