Phillip Schofield put on a united display with his ex wife Stephanie Lowe as they arrived hand-in-hand at Kelly Hoppen’s investiture party in London on Tuesday. 

The former couple, who would have been together 28 years in March, separated in early 2020 after the TV presenter came out as gay.

The pair looked very glamorous at the event being held at Langan’s Brasserie with the This Morning host, 59, opting for a black roll neck beneath a grey blazer.

Stephanie, 57, meanwhile, chose a blue blouse with black trousers and kept warm by wearing a black coat. 

Phillip looked in good spirits as he chatted with a bouncer at the swanky establishment. 

Designer Kelly was earlier made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to the Government’s Great campaign, helping to promote British creativity, business and commerce.

Earlier in the evening Phillip attended the ITV Palooza event being held at the Royal Festival Hall.  

Phil tied the knot at Ackergill Tower on 29 March 1993 and went on to have daughters Molly and Ruby with Stephanie.  

The TV star called their relationship a ‘work in progress’ earlier this year and insisted they hadn’t discussed divorce.

Late last year, the host admitted he is ‘not fixed in any way’ and he still has to ‘come to terms’ with his life after publicly coming out as gay in February.

Talking about his family on BBC Radio 5 Live, the Dancing On Ice star said: ‘We love each other massively. We are a loving family, that hasn’t changed… it’s us four but different.

‘We are a work in progress. I’ve been very honest about all of this and there’s no question, we have to pick our way through this daily as a family.

‘And that’s what we are doing. We are making our way through very unusual and unexpected waters.’

The media personality also explained how a legal end to their marriage has not been brought up, telling Chris Evans on his How To Wow podcast: ‘I’m still married to Steph.  

‘There is a great deal of talk of divorce – we have not discussed that at all.’

The father-of-two has credited his longtime spouse for being supportive following his revelation.

The TV star previously told co-star Holly Willoughby on This Morning: ‘There’s no one in my life who would have supported me the way, as a wife, as the way she supported me. She’s astonishing, literally astonishing.’
