This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield has admitted he has thought about undergoing Botox treatment after a cheeky swipe from Gyles Brandreth. During today’s (June 27) show, Phillip, co-host Holly Willoughby and Gyles discussed the NHS shortages, in particular the lack of dentists which has resulted in many people carrying out dangerous DIY dentistry at home.

Discussing the issue, Gyles noted that the “nature of dentistry has changed” and said his own dentist now also offers beauty treatments, the Mirror reports. He told viewers: “The government has encouraged this mixed economy, because people now go to the dentist for a lot of cosmetic reasons. My local dentist, which is also an NHS dentist, they offer you Botox if you want it as well.”

Phillip then jokingly interrupted to ask if Gyles has ever had Botox, leaving him surprised at the question. “Have I had it?,” Gyles asked. “If I had, I would be looking like you, instead of like me.”

Phillip and Holly both burst out laughing. But Phillip was quick to clarify that he has “never done that in my life” but admitted: “I’ve thought about it.”

It comes after the it was revealed that Phillip was the show’s highest earner in the year up to February 2021 – raking in almost £1 million despite the pandemic. The dad-of-two’s TV firm, Fistral Productions Ltd, is estimated to be worth £2,464,251, of which £1,686,171 is cash in the bank.

That figure was up a cool £990,000 on the previous year with the 60-year-old reportedly paid a salary in excess of £600,000. Co-presenter Holly saw her own business Roxy Media Ltd’s equity documented at £1,535,218 in the same period.

Since leaving the show, former Friday host Ruth Langsford has seen her earnings go from strength to strength with 2021 tax records suggesting her company Hey Ho Ltd earned a staggering £2,092,863. A source told the Sun: “Ruth has had the last laugh here.

“She’s proven the talk wrong that she and Eamonn were pale and stale. Her pay from ITV might not be as high as Holly and Phil’s, but her earning power outside of the show is vast.

“She has her gig on shopping channel QVC which is huge, plus her work on Loose Women. Now she is free to make even more shows for other channels. Plus she is always asked to sign up for commercial work and has appeared in adverts for everything from blood circulation boosters to bingo games.”
