Phillip Schofield's daughter Ruby Schofield appeared to urge her dad to go after what his “heart desires” in a cryptic message.
Days before Phillip revealed he is gay in a shock Instagram post, Ruby liked a Tweet urging people to “love like you’ve never been loved before.”
The TV presenter followed up the announcement with an appearance on This Morning alongside Holly Willoughby and praised his family for their “astonishing” show of love.
Calling his wife of 27-years the "kindest soul" he has ever met, he praised Ruby and Molly who have "held him so close" during many "heartbreaking conversations at home."
Tearful Phillip said he felt “pain and confusion” about coming out because of the “hurt that I am causing to my family.”

The message read: "Tomorrow isn’t promised to us, so live as if today is your last day on earth.
"Love like you’ve never loved before.
“Dream deeper than you’ve ever imagined you could dream.
“Experience all that your heart desires.
