Phillip Schofield's first appearance on This Morning 25 years ago resurfaces following exit

Footage has resurfaced of Phillip Schofield's first-ever This Morning appearance, following the news he would be stepping away from his long-standing role on the show.

The host sat alongside Caron Keating in 1998, sporting dark brunette hair, but his same witty sense of humour.

Schofield 'mutually agreed' with ITV to step down with 'immediate effect' last week following an alleged rift between him and co-star, Holly Willoughby.

It's thought Schofield will take up a presenting spot on another prime time ITV show in the future.
