Phillip Schofield's three-word cry as he's marooned on island as new Cast Away trailer drops

Phillip Schofield issued a three-word cry as he was left on the desert island for Channel 5's Cast Away.

Fans were shocked when Phillip revealed he was dropped off on the island of Nosy Ankarea, off the coast of Madagascar, to spend ten days surviving on his own with nothing but a few cameras for his return to television in Cast Away - which is due to air on Monday night.

In a new trailer, the 62-year-old was seen getting dropped off on the island to spend days navigating it on his own. He waved off the crew as he stepped off the boat and said hello to his new home for the next 10 days. He said in the voiceover that he'd be gone for 10 'long days and nine solitary nights'.

He then wailed: "God help me." Phillip thanked the crew and mused while holding a camera and his equipment: "That is the wildest feeling, oh my. S**t just got real." Channel 5's Cast Away will air for three episodes from tonight at 9pm through to Wednesday night at the same time.

While on the island of Nosy Ankarea, which is off the coast of Madagascar, he admitted to feeling like he was "thrown under the bus". In the programme, Phillip said when he started at the BBC as a booking clerk at 19, he first was able to go to the Television Centre, where ITV's This Morning was later filmed, and he "loved being there".

He explained: "When what happened to me happened to me, it screwed up my favourite building in the world, and it pretty well blew away all those happy memories, and suddenly the place became hostile to me, and that was heartbreaking. And the people who did it to me, know, they know how important that building was to me. They know that when you throw someone under a bus, you've got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough. It's not a good enough reason to throw someone under a bus."

While adding logs to his campfire, he said: "I was just thinking there as I was collecting wood. There are only three sh*ts. One of them is a coward who never stepped up in queue-gate. One of them is a coward because they never stepped up when I was being battered by one journalist....and the other one is just brand-orientated. Not what you expect, not what you think you're going to get. When it all came to a sudden and very abrupt end, questions were asked about our toxic environment in parliament!"
