Phillip Schofield has opened up about his sexuality during an emotional interview with Holly Willoughby.
The married 57-year-old publicly came out on Instagram Friday morning in a post on his stories, saying: "You never know what's going on in someone's seemingly perfect life, what issues they are struggling with, or the state of their wellbeing - and so you won't know what has been consuming me for the last few years.
"With the strength and support of my wife and daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay."
Phillip has been married to Stephanie Lower for nearly 27 years and the pair share two children, Molly and Ruby.

During the interview, Phillip and Holly were joined on the sofa by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, who shared a few words of support for their friend - but Eamonn's comments left some viewers cringing.
The 60-year-old's reaction to Phillip's news has been described by some as "gross" and "unhelpful".
He said: "I'm disappointed in a couple of ways. First of all I thought you were going to come in and announce you had resigned and I could have your job, but that wasn't to be.
"And the second thing, there is this great imponderable in life that has always bothered me, I thought how come he can sit in a hot tub with Holly Willoughby and Steph doesn't have a problem and Dan doesn't have a problem."
After hearing his words, This Morning viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: "Eamonn Holmes being inappropriate as per today, his hot tub comment was gross. Basically insinuated Steph has always known Phil was gay and that's why she let him be friends with Holly... WTF."
Another commented: "Good to see big Eamonn Holmes treating Phillip Schofield coming out with the sensitivity it deserves by saying that he wondered why Phillip was allowed in a hot tub with Holly."
A third tweeted: "'Ohhh that’s why your wife was ok with you getting in a hot tub with Holly.’ Absolute a**hole, that wasn’t funny... get off my TV. @ITV How does he get away with this?"
Someone else added: "Eamonn Holmes comments about Phillip Schofield being in a hot tub with Holly Willoughby, is embarrassingly unhelpful."
However not everyone was bothered by Eamonn's comments.
A different user said: "Loved @EamonnHolmes supportive comments for @Schofe."
"Quite clearly no feud between @Schofe @hollywills @EamonnHolmes @RuthieeL after watching the interview. Nothing but love and support all round," said another.
"People actually angry that Eamonn Holmes was being humorous when Phillip came out as gay. Absolute wet blankets," proclaimed a third.

Before dying, he said: "I want to apologize to my in-laws for causing all this emotional pain.
"I love y'all and consider y'all my sisters I never had. I want to thank you for forgiving me."
While strapped to the death chamber gurney, he looked out at several of his victims' relatives who watched through a window just a few feet away.
As the lethal dose of the powerful sedative pentobarbital took hold, Ochoa closed his eyes and had no visible reaction.
Jonathan Duran, a surviving sibling from the horror shootings, watched as his father died and said he accepted his apology.

thedailymirror--2020-02-08--ADVERTORIAL: Racing expert's big money tip for The Betfair Hurdle - plus get a free bet up to £25

The Betfair Hurdle ( 15.35 Newbury ) is one of the highlights of the National Hunt season and it should be a cracking renewal .
Hughie Morrison 's Not So Sleepy – aiming for the £100,000 bonus awarded to winners of the Betfair Exchange Trophy at Ascot in December and this race - will ensure a very good pace , while the likes of Thebannerkingrebel will keep him honest , so the winner will need to be a strong stayer at the trip .
The last 10 winners have been equally shared between five-year-olds and six-year-olds and tend to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While I do like Ciel De Neige , at a big price , Pic Dorhy could run a huge race .
And don ’ t forget , Betfair Sportsbook are offering a free bet of up to £25 for every winner at 3/1 or over during ITV racing on Saturday ( free bet matching original stake , max £25 ) .
Paul Nicholls is in red hot form and the fact his stable jockey Harry Cobden has plumped for Pic Dorhy speaks volumes .
The five-year-old ’ s recent form figures may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go back and look at the way he travelled through the race last time at Ascot over two mile three and a half furlongs you ’ d have to conclude that he travels like a very good horse .
Ultimately , he faded into sixth that day without being given a hard time at all , once Cobden realised he wasn ’ t going to win .
You could conclude he simply didn ’ t stay , but it was only his second run of the season - so he may still not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he may have been being looked after , with this race in mind .
One thing for sure is that he ’ ll get a strong pace to run at and Cobden will be able to ride him with confidence to challenge late and fast .
Given his stable have such a high opinion of him then you have to think there ’ s room to manouveur off his mark of 146 and he ’ s an each way bet at 20/1 .
Over at Warwick in the 14:05 the Kingmaker Novices ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of beating .
His second in a Grade 1 at Sandown behind Espirit Du Large on soft ground over two liles is the standout piece of form and that has been franked somewhat by Grand Sancy running so well for a long way last weekend in Scilly Isles Novices ’ Chase over two and a half miles .

How to get your free bet - plus Betfair’s Alan Thompson returns with a look at one of the biggest handicaps of the jumps season
The Betfair Hurdle (15.35 Newbury) is one of the highlights of the National Hunt season and it should be a cracking renewal. Hughie Morrison's Not So Sleepy – aiming for the £100,000 bonus awarded to winners of the Betfair Exchange Trophy at Ascot in December and this race - will ensure a very good pace, while the likes of Thebannerkingrebel will keep him honest, so the winner will need to be a strong stayer at the trip.
The last 10 winners have been equally shared between five-year-olds and six-year-olds and tend to be the proverbial graded horse in a handicap. While I do like Ciel De Neige, at a big price, Pic Dorhy could run a huge race.
And don’t forget, Betfair Sportsbook are offering a free bet of up to £25 for every winner at 3/1 or over during ITV racing on Saturday (free bet matching original stake, max £25).
Paul Nicholls is in red hot form and the fact his stable jockey Harry Cobden has plumped for Pic Dorhy speaks volumes. The five-year-old’s recent form figures may not be that inspiring but if you go back and look at the way he travelled through the race last time at Ascot over two mile three and a half furlongs you’d have to conclude that he travels like a very good horse.
Ultimately, he faded into sixth that day without being given a hard time at all, once Cobden realised he wasn’t going to win. You could conclude he simply didn’t stay, but it was only his second run of the season - so he may still not have been fully wound up - and he may have been being looked after, with this race in mind.
One thing for sure is that he’ll get a strong pace to run at and Cobden will be able to ride him with confidence to challenge late and fast. Given his stable have such a high opinion of him then you have to think there’s room to manouveur off his mark of 146 and he’s an each way bet at 20/1.
Back Nube to become King
Over at Warwick in the 14:05 the Kingmaker Novices’ Chase, Nube Negra should take a lot of beating. His second in a Grade 1 at Sandown behind Espirit Du Large on soft ground over two liles is the standout piece of form and that has been franked somewhat by Grand Sancy running so well for a long way last weekend in Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase over two and a half miles.
Dan Skelton's charge is a course and distance winner from a stable going well and is 3lb clear at the top on adjusted ratings too. Add in that his best form is on good ground then you’d have to think he can improve on that soft ground run last time and, if that’s the case, he’s got to be the one they all have to beat in this.
