is now 11/8 favourite to be a team captain on the rebooted Hole in the Wall, with fellow ITV stars (6/4) and (2/1) also in contention.
Phillip, who quit ‘This Morning’ and later ITV entirely, admitted to having lied about an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague.
In a bid to get his floundering TV career back on track, Phillip appeared on a three-part Channel 5 series last year, Cast Away, where he shared his side of the story.

Speaking in a trailer for the show, he said at the time: “I’ve been cast away on a desert island, completely on my own, all I have is camera gear, and I can say whatever I want about whatever I want.
“It’s my chance to tell my side of my story. I know what I did was unwise, but is it enough to absolutely destroy someone?”
The disgraced star was said to have been inundated with TV offers since he quit This Morning in 2023, but 16 months later, he returned to the small screen in the new series.
During the show, he was based on a desert island for 10 days with nothing but camera equipment to document his time.

Hole In The Wall, which ran for two series until 2009, is expected to return with Alison fronting the programme. The original show was hosted by Dale Winton and Strictly star Anton Du Beke.
An inside source told : “Hole In The Wall got great ratings when it first came out so the Beeb have decided to bring it back.
“They are currently filming the pilot to see how it shapes up. They wanted to sign Alison and she jumped at the chance to do it. She’s one of TV’s most in demand stars right now and the Beeb is over the moon that they’ve signed her.
“Alison adores her job and is always on the lookout for shows where she can have a real laugh -that’s why she loves presenting Bake Off and This Morning. They are light-hearted and fun.”
