It was earlier in May Phil admitted his relationship with Steph was not "brilliant right now". However, sources say weekly therapy sessions have helped the presenter 'come to terms with losing his job and best friend'. The source said: "That's what he is mainly doing right now, reflecting on what he did wrong and trying to come to terms with his new life. It has all been an incredible shock for him and he is struggling to get his head around it."
During an interview with the BBC following his resignation from This Morning, Phil admitted he had been experiencing suicidal thoughts, describing himself as ‘utterly broken’, adding Molly, 29, and Ruby, 27, were afraid to leave his side.
Opening up about the toll on his mental health, he admitted: “My girls saved my life. They haven’t left me for a month, they’ve been by my side for a month because they’re scared to let me out of their sight [...] and they said to me ‘Don’t you dare do this on [our] watch.’”
