Phillip Schofield: Cast Away returned for the final episode tonight, October. Despite the three-part series coming to a close, it still didn’t manage to win over viewers.
In fact, one look at the comments on X will tell you that Phillip hasn’t exactly made a good impression with his foul-mouthed rants and unconvincing behaviour.
Former This Morning presenter Phil, 62, has put his survival skills to work on a remote desert island off the coast of Madagascar over the past couple of episodes.
But as his “grip on reality” unravelled – as did the opinions of viewers who have been left less than impressed with his “pretending”.

Countless viewers flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to point out that they didn’t feel Phillip’s antics were genuine.
One moment saw the star describing a frightening incident where his star shaped fire set the dried leaves surrounding his camp alight in the middle of the night – leaving Phillip “terrified”.
Fortunately, Phillip explained he put out the fire just in time, but didn’t have the chance to pull out the camera and film it.
One viewer noted: “He’s losing the bloody plot.” To which another viewer corrected : “Or he’s pretending, it’s TV darling.”
Another fumed: “I smell a rat.”
“He’s making it look like he’s in a scary film. And the dramatic music isn’t helping,” said another.
Later, Phillip described a “triggering” part of the island, which reminded him of the traumatic media frenzy surrounding his recent “fall from grace”.

He described how the leaves of the trees on the island made a noise that reminded him of the shutter sound of a paparazzi camera.
Phillip went on to say that a recent moment he was snapped by paparazzi. The photograph caught him at dinner with friend and TV star Declan Donnelly and his wife.
He explained that the meeting was described online as a discussion about his TV comeback and went on for four hours. However, Phillip has now described the headlines as “utter [bleep]” and even added that they only enjoyed the meal for an hour.
