Phillip Schofield announces death of mother Pat aged 88 after ‘heartbreaking weekend’ --[Reported by Umva mag]

Phillip Schofield has announced that his mother, Pat, has died aged 88.

Taking to his Instagram Story tonight, the former This Morning presenter, 62, wrote: ‘Today, at 3pm and after a heartbreaking weekend, my magnificent mum decided it was time to go to her beloved Brian.

‘Over three days, we held her, loved her, hugged her, and said everything that needed to be said.

‘She was calm, peaceful, beautiful and dignified.

‘I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum.

‘Our eternal thanks to the paramedics, Treliske A&E and Critical Care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum’s and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour.’

‘I love you mum, forever,’ he signed off.

Schofield proceeded to share a series of personal photos of his late mother, including from the time she did a wing walk at the age of 80 and other various snaps from her travels.

‘God I loved her for wanting to do this,’ he wrote alongside a clip of the exhilarating activity.

‘One of the oldest ever ladies to wing walk.’

The montage also included a snap of her in front of a sunset and enjoying a show at The Royal Albert Hall.

Following his exit from ITV last year, Schofield stayed with his mother at her Cornwall home as he kept a low profile and avoided media attention.

She was also a mother to his younger brother, Timothy, who is currently spending 12 years in prison for sexually abusing a teenage boy.

Pat’s death comes after her hospitalisation last year when she fell seriously ill.

Last June, after admitting to an affair with a much younger male runner, which prompted his departure from showbiz, Schofield cared for his mother and held a vigil by her bedside.
