Former This Morning star Phillip Schofield has said goodbye to his beloved mother Pat after she passed away today at 3pm. The TV star shared a heartfelt tribute to his 'best friend' following her passing
The former This Morning star, 62, took to Instagram to announce the sad news this evening. Alongside a selection of photos of himself and his mum Pat, Phillip wrote: "Today, at 3pm and after a heartbreaking weekend, my magnificent mum decided it was time to go to her beloved Brian.
Phillip added: "Our eternal thanks to the paramedics, Treliske A&E and Critical Care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum's and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour." The former presenter confessed his shock when both his mum and brother were diagnosed with the same serious health condition. Phillip cut ties with his brother Timothy, 54, after he was sentenced to a 12-year prison term last year following his conviction for sexually abusing a vulnerable teenage boy over three years.
In a chat with Health Awareness, Phillip disclosed: "My brother and mother are both Type 1 diabetics and have been for the last 25 years, so it is something that as a family we are very used to. If either of them have a hypo , we can recognise the signs and we know what to do. My Mum goes particularly bonkers when she goes low, so when she starts talking nonsense we know what's happening.
