Phillip Schofield took to Instagram to express his gratitude after receiving a "lovely" anonymous letter and gift. The ITV This Morning host was moved by the kind gesture which came from a stranger, without any indication of who it might have been.
Phillip, 60, took a photo and shared it with his millions of followers, reports Manchester Evening News. It showed a beautiful rainbow-coloured rose encased in a protective plastic box.
"To whoever sent the lovely anonymous letter & gorgeous rainbow rose, thank you," he wrote alongside the photo. Fans weren't able to comment on the post as he put restrictions on his page, but This Morning co-star Clodagh McKenna was quick to post a string of different coloured hearts in the comments section.

Vanessa Feltz also wrote: "Lovely," alongside two star emojis while the post racked up thousands of likes. It comes after Phillip returned to the photo-sharing platform for the first time last week after he and his co-star Holly Willoughby were embroiled in a 'queue jump' row.
The This Morning stars were accused of jumping the public queue to see the Queen lying in state. Phillip and Holly were seen on Friday, September 16 inside Westminster Hall where Queen Elizabeth II's coffin was placed for four days, with hundreds of thousands of people queuing for miles across London in order to pay their final respects to the late monarch.
However, This Morning quickly hit back at the claims their presenters skipped the queue and during their first day back on This Morning following their Westminster Hall appearance on Tuesday, September 20, Holly addressed the outrage in a video documenting the events of the last couple of weeks, from finding out the Queen had died right up until the late monarch's funeral.
During the VT, the mum-of-three could be heard saying in a voiceover that "like hundreds of accredited broadcasters and journalists, we were given official permission to access the hall." She added that "none of the broadcasters and journalists there took anyone's place in the queue and no one filed passed the Queen," before saying: "We, of course, respected those rules, however, we realise that it may have looked like something else and therefore totally understand the reaction."
While Holly, 41, returned to social media, posting her daily outfit details ahead of her appearance on This Morning from Monday to Thursday while also sharing some insights into her family life with her children and pet pooch, Bailey, Phillip remained quieter, until last Thursday when he shared a thank you with his millions of followers after receiving some beautiful flowers.
