Publishing houses are said to be in a bidding war to sign TV presenter Phillip Schofield to write a tell-all book detailing his struggle with his sexuality.
The This Morning star, 58. came out as gay at the start of 2020, and publishers are keen to ink a deal with him worth at least £1.5 million to recount the story of his journey, according to The Mirror.
‘Book publishers are all desperate for him to write an autobiography. They know it could be a best-seller as he’s such a household name with a legion of fans,’ a source told the newspaper.

They added: ‘The money on advances is now more than £1.5m which could tempt him!’
Phillip remains married to his wife of nearly three decades. Steph, whom he shares daughters Molly, 27, and Ruby, 24, with.
He took to the barbecue on Saturday to whip the ladies up a steak dinner, posting a snap to Instagram cooking for them under an umbrella.

‘BBQ in the rain? No probs!’ he captioned the snap from his Oxfordshire garden.
Molly is said to be handling the book deal negotiations; and Ruby, meanwhile, has been selling off some of his clothes.
He recently uploaded a snapshot of a short-sleeved All Saints shirt as it hung on a packed clothes rail in the garden.

Ruby, 24, had listed the item for sale at £40 with a description that stated: ‘And in keeping with tradition, here’s one from Schofe’s wardrobe. A beaut allsaints number’.
But it was snapped up by one lucky buyer in less than 20 minutes.

It comes after Phillip mocked a viral video of an American woman trying to make a cup of ‘British tea’.
Michelle, a mother-of-three, horrified TikTok users after she shared her technique of microwaving cold water, pouring in milk, dropping in a tea bag and then drowning it in sugar.
Shocked Britons have been sharing their disgust at the video and on Thursday, the This Morning presenter poked fun at the viral clip.
Tea-sing! Phillip Schofield has poked fun at a viral American video showing how to make ‘British tea’
Phillip, copies Michelle’s method, using a microwave and putting in the teabag after the water and milk.
But at the end, instead of drinking the brew, the TV star throws the mug away in his garden.
He captioned the video: ‘English tea made the American way.’

Not impressed: At the end, Phillip threw the mug away in his garden, apparently disgusted by the tea recipe
Michelle first went viral last month for a TikTok video in which she broke down how she makes ‘hot tea’ using powdered instant tea mix, Tang orange drink mix, instant lemonade, sugar, and a couple of spices — a recipe that had other social media users expressing disgust and dismay.
Michelle appears to have a thick skin, because just a month later, she uploaded another tea technique alongside her daughter of her ‘British tea’ recipe.
She said: ‘So I got a lot of questions after my last video, and everyone wanted to see me make hot tea, or British tea — so today we’re gonna make tea.’
Uh-oh… American mother Michelle, who went viral last month for her bizarre ‘hot tea’ recipe, is back showing how she makes ‘British tea’
Where’s the tea? They then fill about a third of the cup with milk — quite a lot — before adding then tea bag and finishing off with a very generous sugar pour
Yikes! The likely lukewarm tea is then stirred as it nearly overflows the cup
First, they fill a mug about two thirds of the way with water from the sink. They microwave the water for a minute, then pour in milk to fill the last third of the cup.
Her daughter then drops in a tea bag and sprinkles quite a lot of sugar into the already nearly-overflowing mug.
‘And that’s how you make hot tea,’ Michelle says with a smile.
The reaction to the new video has been nearly just as aghast as that to her original video.
