On Twitter, a small group mocked Phillip for sharing the photograph with his large following.

One joked: “Thank goodness Phillip Schofield went about his life-saving activities in a quietly dignified way, instead of alerting his 3.1m Instagram followers to just what a good egg he was.

“It just shows that not all heroes wear capes.”

Another said: “We’re urged to admire people like David Cameron, who put his whole Prime Ministerial legacy on the line by seeking to help an ailing financial services company.

“But Phillip Schofield sets the gold standard; he just quietly saved a life, having alerted 3.1M Instagram followers.”

A third added: “What an all round amazingly good egg #PhillipSchofield is (removes tongue from cheek).”
