Supportive: Phillip Schofield's daughter Molly, 27, has taken to Instagram to throw her support behind her dad after he came out as gay on Friday

On Friday morning, Phillip announced he is gay via an Instagram post on before taking to the This Morning couch to discuss his sexuality and choice to come out.  

After 27 years of marriage to Steph, he has revealed that he has suffered 'inner conflict' and is now ready to 'celebrate and be proud' of his sexuality, yet insists he is not thinking about a new relationship. 

Phillip spoke about his battles with keeping his secret and the relief of coming out. Phil met Stephanie when she was a BBC production Assistant and he was working for the BBC Children's television. 

Speaking about telling his daughters, he said: 'It wasn't easy [telling my daughters]. But they are so amazing in their love and support. They jumped up and gave me a hug, a big hug, a long hug...

Tough times: Sharing the post with her 44,500 followers, the talent manager penned: 'Love you always, so proud of you', while tagging her dad over a picture of the duo alongside her mum Steph and her sister Ruby, 24

'They hugged Steph and said, 'It's OK, this is fine.' We will always be a family. We'll always be that. My mum has been on the phone all morning, 'Hope you're OK.' I told her and she said, 'OK, I don't care.' And that's the same with everyone.' 

Speaking about how his mum Pat, 83, reacted: ‘It was the same with my mum, my mum is watching this today...

'She’s been on the phone this morning – hope you’re OK. I went down to see her, she’s down in Cornwall, and I went down to see her... And I told her and she said "oh, OK, well, I don't care" - and that's the same with everyone.' 

Asked about a potential new relationship, he said: 'I don't think so, I'm not thinking there. I'm doing each day at a time now. This has always been a slow process...

Happy days: Speaking about telling his daughters, he said: 'It wasn't easy [telling my daughters]. But they are so amazing in their love and support. They jumped up and gave me a hug, a big hug, a long hug'

'There is no fast process after this. This was the day I knew everything was pointed towards. I couldn't have done it if it hadn't been you.' 

In his original statement shared to social media, Phillip wrote: '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 my daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay. This is something that has caused many heart-breaking conversations at home...

I have been married to Steph for nearly 27 years, and we have two beautiful grown-up daughters, Molly and Ruby... My family have held me so close: they have tried to cheer me up, to smother me with kindness and love, despite their own confusion. Yet still I can't sleep and there have been some very dark moments. 

'My inner conflict contrasts with an outside world that has changed so very much for the better. Today, quite rightly, being gay is a reason to celebrate and be proud. Yes, I am feeling pain and confusion, but that comes only from the hurt that I am causing to my family..

'Steph has been incredible - I love her so very much. She is the kindest soul I have ever met. My girls have been astonishing in their love, hugs and encouraging words of comfort. Both mine and Steph's entire families have stunned me with their love, instant acceptance and support.

Open and honest: Phillip was lauded by fans for his candid admission

'Of course they are worried about Steph but I know they will scoop us both us.

'My friends are the best, especially Holly, who has been so kind and wise - and who has hugged me as I sobbed on her shoulder. At ITV, I couldn't hope to work with more wonderful, supportive teams...

'Every day on This Morning, I sit in awe of those we meet who have been brave and open in confronting their truth - so now it's my turn to share mine...

'This will probably all come as something and I understand, but only by facing this, by being honest, can I hope to find peace in my mind and a way forward. Please be kind, especially to my family. Phillip'.
