PHILLIP Schofield looked downcast during a trip to the pub in London today, as Holly Willoughby returned to This Morning.<\/p>\n
Former presenter Phillip, 61, was\u00a0axed by ITV in May\u00a0after admitting to lying about an affair with a younger male colleague.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
And while Holly, 42, made her comeback after the summer break, her old co-star got out a pair of shorts and went to his local boozer.<\/p>\n
Phillip was spotted leaving The Roebuck in Chiswick following a three-hour lunch, sporting black sunglasses.<\/p>\n
He wore a white T-shirt featuring an illustration by The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse author, Charlie Mackesy.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster checked his phone and shot a glum expression while stepping out in the suburb.<\/p>\n

It follows reports he is considering a return to television and releasing a tell-all memoir three months after his affair scandal.<\/p>\n
Phillip was recently\u00a0pictured enjoying dinner in West London\u00a0with former\u00a0This Morning\u00a0co-star\u00a0Vanessa Feltz, with The Mirror reporting he could be interested in following her to Talk TV.<\/p>\n
A source said: \u201cPhil has really kept his head down since he left This Morning. Losing his entire career in a matter of weeks hit him hard, and he needed time to recover. Even now, everything is still very raw for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut in the last few weeks he has begun to entertain offers and consider what his\u00a0next\u00a0steps\u00a0might be. When he met with Vanessa earlier this month, she suggested a conversation with Piers about Talk TV and he was open to that conversation."<\/p>\n
