All eyes are on Phillip Schofield as tensions run high on the This Morning set amid rumours of a fracas with co-host Holly Willoughby.
Tempers have flared as the two presenters recover from 'Queuegate', while Phil issued an emotional statement disowning his brother amid his 'despicable crimes.'
As the heat rises, Phil could be taking refuge in one of his plush homes - but would it be the £2m bachelor pad or the fancy family home he shared with his wife, Steph?
The telly presenter lived in a sprawling country house in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, with his wife and their two daughters, but when he came out as gay in 2020, he moved out.
He then reportedly bought himself a £2million large semi-detached bachelor pad in Chiswick, London - just round the corner from his ITV pal, Dec Donnelly.

Phillip seems to have a specific style (Instagram/ @schofe)What do you think about Phil's impressive property portfolio? Let us know in the comments...
A neighbour of Phil's spoke to the MailOnline and said: "It's caused quite a stir since he's moved in and got people very excited. He seems like a very nice man and quite normal. You see him walking or cycling mainly and he smiles every time he goes past."
While another added: "There's quite a few famous people already living around here so Phillip Schofield moving in is not a big deal. A lot of people have been talking about it, but nobody bothers him. He's a lovely bloke and I'm sure he'll enjoy living in our community."
In his new pad, Phil has a modern kitchen space with space-age stainless-steel worktops which look chic next to his black-and-white artwork that hangs on the wall.

He's also got a huge mockup of the cover of his autobiography, Life's What You Make It, in the style of a Penguin Books cover.
The conservatory also has a grey colour scheme that matches the kitchen, with pops of navy to brighten things up a bit.

A source said: "This annexe can be used by any member of the family at any time - and is a great investment long-term, adding value to the property."

Will Phill stay on This Morning? (schofe/Instagram)Although Phil came out in 2020, he's still married to Steph and says he's in no rush to get divorced.

Speaking to Chris Evans on his podcast, How to Wow, Phil said: "I'm still married to Steph. With divorce... We've not discussed that at all.
"We're picking our way through. It's a work in progress."
The former couple remain close, and speaking ahead of last Christmas, Phil said that it would be a big family event, as always.

He's known for his great sense of humour (schofe/Instagram)"Christmas lunch for me and the family is always very traditional," he said.
"Traditions-wise for me is just having family time, that is always essential. My daughters are both Christmas fiends and although they are now 26 and 28, they still put an oat arrow out on the lawn pointing Santa to the house."
