Phillip Schofield has been spending some quality time with his family, just weeks after coming out.
Phillip Schofield and his wife of 27 years, Stephanie, are currently in Paris with their daughters – Molly and Ruby – as they enjoy a half term family trip.
This city break for the family comes just weeks after the This Morning host revealed to the nation on live TV he is gay.
During a powerful segment on This Morning, Holly Willoughby helped her friend talk about his sexuality as he thanked his family for their support.
During the trip, Phillip and both daughters Molly and Ruby shared a number of family pictures from the sites of Paris.
In one picture shared on Phillip's Instagram story, he smiled next to wife Stephanie for a selfie.
In another, the family posed alongside one another with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
During his emotional and candid interview on This Morning, Phillip praised his wife for her love and support.
He told Holly: "I've never had any secrets [from her], we've never had any secrets.
"We've been honest and open. And as I said, I can't write in any statement what I feel about that woman. She is amazing. She is incredible, there is no one in my life who would have supported me the way, as a wife, as the way she has supported me.
"She is astonishing, literally astonishing."
Following the news, Stephanie told The Sun she was proud of Phillip, and insisted she would still be by his side, "holding his hand".
Stephanie told the publication: "I love Phillip, as much today as I ever have, and always will.
"At the same time, we've been awestruck by the strength and love of our precious girls, even as they've been trying to make sense of it all for themselves.
She went on: "Although this is difficult for us all, I support Phillip in this taking this brave step and I will still be there, holding his hand. Everyone should be proud to live their own truth."
Following the announcement, Phillip's daughter Molly also shared her support on social media, sharing a picture of their family on her Instagram story.
She wrote: "Love you always, so proud of you."
