Phillip Schofield reveals sweet anniversary present from wife Steph to mark TV milestone

Phillip Schofield 's family have celebrated the star's latest career achievement in the sweetest way.

The This Morning presenter took to social media on Wednesday to share the thoughtful gift his wife Steph and their two daughters sent to commemorate his recent television milestone.

Sharing a huge bunch of flowers with his 3million followers on his Instagram Stories, Phillip, 59, revealed his loved ones had sent the eye-catching bouquet to mark his 40-year stint working in television.

"40 sunflowers just arrived at work from Steph and my girls to mark my telly anniversary," the dad-of-two wrote over the snap.

Steph and Phillip tied the knot in March 1993, going on to welcome two daughters together - Molly, 29, and Ruby, 25.

In February 2020, Phillip announced he is gay live on This Morning, but the married couple have remained close friends and supportive of each other.

On Monday, wife Stephanie, 58, and daughter Molly both joined the star on daytime show Lorraine to celebrate Phillip's incredible career in television.

Appearing on the ITV show via video link, Steph was asked what she believes is the reason her husband has been so successful throughout his 40 years on screen.

"I don't have a clue! No, I think your previous guests hit the nail on the head," the mum-of-two confessed to host Lorraine Kelly.

"He is genuinely interested in people. He's always reading the news, he's always keeping up with everything, he's good fun."

Eldest daughter Molly added: "I mean, I have always been so proud of him. I remember going on a school trip to see him in Doctor Dolittle and all my friends wanting to go and find him for an autograph.

"I remember queuing up myself. I wanted it as well - I felt left out!"

During the moving segment, Phillip paid tribute to his family and thanked Steph for her support over the years.

"[They mean] everything. We've obviously had changes in our lives but I've always said it's us four but slightly different. I was with Steph and Ruby during the big storm on Friday," the broadcaster explained on Monday.

"That's essential. Steph has been the most incredible foundation, support and rock throughout my career. My girls I couldn't be more proud of."

Pal Holly Willoughby shared a major throwback of the star on Instagram (Instagram)

Earlier this week, friend and This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby paid tribute to her colleague by rolling back the years with a major throwback picture.

Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-three ribbed her pal by reminding him that she watched him growing up on the TV in the iconic BBC broom cupboard.

Holly uploaded a shot on Monday from his early years on the box as fresh-faced Phil, wearing a Radio Rock jumper, gets down to work.

She captioned the retro snap: "Today the TV oracle marks his 40th year in the business… for a long time I watched you and then for the last 15 years I have been lucky enough to sit alongside you.

"You have taught me so much, you have always been patient and generous with me… It’s been an honour to play a part in your TV story… love you to bits @schofe."
