He’s always laughed off his image as an unlikely sex symbol, but Phillip Schofield got viewers all hot and bothered on Thursday’s This Morning, when he performed a strip tease…
It was part of a segment on ‘gender reveals’, with presenter Vanessa Feltz explaining to Phil and his temporary co-host, Rochelle Humes, about the different ways people unveil their baby’s sex.

As they got to the third couple waiting to hear their unborn child’s gender, Phil, 56, turned to them to say: “I knew the [sex] since I put my show clothes on this morning.”
He slowly started unbuttoning his shirt, singing a strip-tease tune, as he apologised to the sound department for messing with the mic.
Underneath his shirt, he was wearing a blue tee, his way of revealing the pair are having a baby boy.
The camera quickly panned to the rest of the crew who all showed their blue tops off, while Vanessa revealed her top that read: “It’s a boy!”
“I’m emotional now!” the mum-to-be admitted.
Viewers watching at home loved the sweet segment, with one tweeting: “Watching gender reveals on #thismorning has made me excited.”
Drum roll please… It's a GIRL! Don't they look pleased?
