Phillip Schofield celebrates appearance change as isolation period ends

Phillip Schofield has revealed he is finally 'free' after producing two negative covid tests.

He was forced to isolate at home after testing positive for the pandemic virus.

The 59-year-old has been missing from presenting his regular ITV shows This Morning and Dancing on Ice after he went on to test positive for seven days in a row.

He finally produced his first negative result on Monday and followed it up with a second one yesterday.

Taking to his Instagram stories, he shared a picture of the test showing that he was no longer infected with the virus.

He wrote: "It's official! 2 days negative... I'm FREEEE."

Phillip then went on to show a gifted meal from KFC as he said: "Genius. Thank you Caroline and @kfc_uki for my 'out of isolation' care package."

In a later story, the TV presenter shared a short clip showing that he had finally left his house.

He spoke to the camera as he said: "For the first time in a week I am going out" as he presented a cheery smile.

The caption read: "First time in 8 days I've put jeans on."

Phil then shared a picture of a drink, as he said: "Well that's a very pleasant change."

He has not yet said when he is returning to our screens, but was obviously missing work as during his quarantine he continued to work on voice-overs from a booth which he had previously installed in his home.

He looked well as he smiled into the camera, with a headset on and a microphone in front of a laptop screen.

The presenter wrote: "Thank goodness I put a voice-over booth in the cupboard... at least I can do SOME work! #quarantine."
