Phillip Schofield has been seen in public for the first time in weeks after he quit this morning following an affair with a younger colleague which he lied about. The former This Morning presenter, 61, was spotted in Cornwall, where he was said to be celebrating his mother Pat's 87th birthday.
Body-language expert Judi James said Phillip looked "relaxed" in the photographs. Judi told the Mirror : "There are deep furrows etched on his forehead and deep grooves down either side of his mouth.
"His face looks jowly from side view but that’s possibly a result of the weight he said he had dropped since the drama started.
"But otherwise Schofield looks tanned and relatively relaxed here, like a man who has taken what must be his first break from work in several decades."

She added: "We’re so used to seeing the signature Schofield perky smile on our screens that an unsmiling Philip does look dramatically dour but, despite the lip clamp, his one raised brow and the micro-curve of his lips suggests a good humoured response to the person he is with.
"There’s no sign of tension in his shoulders or his legs but, in a nod to his previously busy professional lifestyle, he seems to be clutching his phone, keys and what looks like the ever-present vape we saw him using in his interviews, all in the one hand."
It comes after Phil gave a series of bombshell interviews, where he discussed the impact the backlash to his affair admission had on his mental health.

The presenter said: "I do not know a time I will be able to walk out of the door.
"I don’t have any spirit. My friends tell me, 'It will get better'. It won’t. Not now. Not this one."
Phillip admitted he has never suffered any abuse in public before, but now fears he will be shouted at or spat on.
