He left s , but vowed to be back for other projects with ITV, though things soon took a turn when he admitted to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male co-star.

Now, 18 months on, Phil has decided to tell his story while he’s stranded on an island for 10 days with limited resources.

He told his followers last week: “Now you know how I spent my Summer! Alone for 10 days, no food, no water, no crew. My story of survival, both on a desert island and off it.”

In the trailer he’s addressed a few of the struggles he’s faced, vowing to tell his side of the story.

Phil hits out at the public reaction

In the new series, Phillip says: “Shamed, disgraced who had an affair. But strangely, I think another TV presenter or two might have done exactly the same thing.”

“Difference is, heterosexual. It’s not an unusual thing in the gay world for there to be a difference in age groups. That’s not that unusual in the straight world, but if that had been the case with me and it had been a woman. Pat on the back. Well done mate.”

Phil vows to tell his side of the story

In the trailer that was released shortly after Phillip confirmed his return to TV, he vowed to tell his side of the story.

The short clip sees him say: “I know what I did was unwise, but is it really enough to absolutely destroy someone?”

He was then seen crying in the clip before the trailer came to a close.
