Fans rushed to comment on Phil’s post, with many gushing over Pat and her bravery for doing a wing walk.

One person said: “That’s fabulous, she’s one brave cookie,” while another added: “Happy birthday to a legend that made a legend.”

A third gushed: “She looks like an amazing mum!”

Phil also wished his mum a happy birthday on Tuesday’s installment of This Morning.

Before getting started with the programme, Phil looked at the camera and said: “Happy birthday Mum,” giving a huge grin.

His co-star Holly Willoughby added: “Happy birthday Mrs Schofield! Have a lovely day, hope he spoils you rotten.”

It’s no secret that Phil shares an extremely close bond with his mum.

Last year, the telly fave welled up with pride as he watched his mum being strapped to the outside of a plane as she prepared to wing walk.

Pat became the oldest lady in the country to do the loop-the-loop while standing on the outside of a plane.

Pat was following in her son’s footsteps as Phil did the same challenge in 2016 to mark the anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Challenge & Adventure.

Phil told Holly on an episode of This Morning: “When she watched me do that she said, ‘of all of the things you’ve done, there’s only one thing I envy you for, that wing walk.’

“She then insisted she wanted to do it and we gave it to her as a Christmas present and thought she was going to back out of it.”

The programme then showed a clip of Pat’s wing walk.

Showing no fear, Pat got strapped to the top of a yellow plane and was then flown around as Phil watched on from below.

After watching the clip, Phil told Holly: “She loved it!”

Holly added: “That’s your mum! You can see where you get it from!”
