Following what he described as a “heartbreaking weekend,” the former This Morning host said, “I love you mum, forever,” in an Instagram post that included photos of himself and his mother.
He stated: “Over three days, we held her, loved her, hugged her and said everything that needed to be said.”
He described Pat as “calm, peaceful, beautiful, and dignified.” Pat was reportedly eighty-eight years old. I will always feel honored and grateful that she was my mother.
Schofield, 62, said that his father, her “beloved Brian,” who passed away in 2008, had been joined by his “magnificent” mother.
The paramedics and the Treliske [Royal Cornwall Hospital] A&E and Critical Care team were given “eternal thanks” by him. He called the NHS employees “my mum’s and our angels,” whose “love and care has been our saviour.”
Schofield spent ten days alone himself on a small island off the coast of Madagascar for the Channel 5 show Cast Away, which he appeared in last month.
Since departing ITV in May 2023 after confessing to an “unwise but not illegal” covert romance with a younger male coworker, it was his first time appearing in a TV show again.
