Former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield credits his two daughters, Molly and Ruby, for saving his life.

In an exclusive interview with the BBC’s Amol Rajan, Phillip said: “My girls saved my life. They said last week they haven't left me for a moment. They've been by my side every moment because they're scared to let me out of their sight. What is that like for daughters to have to go with something like that?
“And they said to me, don't you dare do this on our watch. We're supposed to be looking after you. If my girls hadn't been there, I wouldn't be here, because I don't see my future.”
