The This Morning presenter, 58, posted a throwback mage of himself and his 84-year-old mum posing for a selfie together while in a garden.
Phillip looked sharp in a crisp white shirt, while his mother wore an elegant champagne coloured blouse and a pretty silver necklace.
He captioned the image: ‘#thistimelastyear … Miss ya mum xx.’
Phillip has spent lockdown at his family home in Oxfordshire with his wife Stephanie Lowe, 56, and their daughters Molly, 27, and Ruby, 24.
