<\/p>\n

Vanessa Feltz has scoffed at the suggestion Phillip Schofield will be making an appearance on either I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! or Celebrity Big Brother, saying she would be “absolutely flabbergasted” if the rumours turn out to be true.<\/p>\n

Phillip withdrew from TV after stepping away from his This Morning slot with Holly Willoughby and admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger colleague.<\/p>\n

The formerly popular ITV star’s image as a family man was tarnished, and he was quickly dropped by his agency YMU, leading to a tearful BBC interview earlier this year where he spoke about having dark thoughts.<\/p>\n

It has now been suggested that, almost six months on from the original scandal, Phillip could make a major TV comeback on a reality show – but, according to Vanessa, that’s unlikely to ever happen.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know anything about it [the rumours] all. I would be absolutely flabbergasted if that were true,” the TalkTV host clarified to OK! magazine.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if Nigel Farage might have seemed an unlikely candidate for the series, Vanessa thinks an appearance by Phillip is even more so.<\/p>\n

“Philip Schofield, I would say put your money on him going nowhere near the place!” she decisively declared.<\/p>\n

As for becoming a Celebrity Big Brother contestant, she confirmed: “I wouldn\u2019t put any money on that either. I think absolutely not to both of those.”<\/p>\n

Vanessa has had a long-time friendship with Phillip, and stood by him during his This Morning scandal, having been pictured embracing him during a trip to London restaurant Little Bird in the aftermath.<\/p>\n

At the time, she stated: “I\u2019m absolutely devastated on behalf of everyone. I\u2019ve always been good friends with Holly and Phil, I\u2019ve been on that show for years and years.<\/p>\n

“I just feel very sorry for anybody who\u2019s been hurt or implicated in what\u2019s happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanessa went on Celebrity Big Brother herself way back in 2001, where she met Boyzone’s Keith McDuffy.<\/p>\n

The boy band crooner later introduced her to ex-boyfriend Ben Ofoedu of Phats and Small, whom she ended up dating for almost two decades before splitting earlier this year.<\/p>\n
