Phillip Schofield has announced he will return to television - 16 months after his departure from ITV's This Morning.

The TV star will appear on a Channel 5 special called Cast Away.

In a post on Instagram, he said: "Now you know how I spent my Summer! Alone for 10 days, no food, no water, no crew.

"My story of survival, both on a desert island and off it."

Schofield, 62, resigned from ITV last May after he admitted to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague.

He said at the time he had "lost everything" after admitting to the affair, and that the fallout had had a "catastrophic effect" on his mind.

Over the weekend, Channel 5 posted a short clip of an unidentified star walking across a remote beach, as it teased its "brand new" desert island programme on social media, which starts on Monday.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
