In Phillip Schofield: Cast Away, the TV veteran embarks on an ambitious and challenging journey, spending 10 days alone on a remote tropical island off the coast of Madagascar. With no crew and filming himself, Phillip deals with the harsh environment and the mental toll of isolation.
The episode, airing on Channel 5, sees Phillip bid farewell to his survival expert and ride out to the island, eager to take on the unique challenge. However, his optimism is short-lived as gale-force winds batter his camp in the middle of the night, signalling the start of a demanding and reflective journey.
As the days progress, Phillip explores his new island home, scavenging for mangoes, searching for water sources, and attempting to catch fish. The solitude provides an opportunity for Phillip to ponder significant life events and reflect on his career.
With a rumbling stomach from days of inadequate food, Phillip ventures into the jungle at dusk, hoping to catch a crab for dinner. As darkness envelops him, he realises he is lost in the dense jungle, disoriented and with a dwindling headlamp battery. Panic begins to set in as the reality of his situation sinks in.
Phillip Schofield: Cast Away, Episode 2 airs on Channel 5 at 9:00 pm on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.
