Phillip Schofield reportedly turned down a selection of big money TV offers before choosing to sign up for Cast Away – 16 months after his departure from This Morning.
The presenter, 62, has secretly filmed Channel 5 special Cast Away, in which he lives on a tropical island in the Indian Ocean for 10 days.
An insider has now said that over the past few months he has had a steady stream of offers come in but ‘steadfastly turned them all down’.
It has been reported that he consulted with his family and friends before saying yes to this show – the details of which were kept ‘top secret’.
A new report suggest he decided to take on the challenge so he could share his story in an ‘unedited and honest’ way.
