PHILLIP Schofield is enjoying a family holiday in Paris with his wife and kids after coming out as gay.
The snaps are the first time the family have posted on social media since Phillip came out live on This Morning two weeks ago.
And the foursome were all smiles as they toured round the French capital.
In one photo, Phillip and his wife Stephanie – who he was with for nearly 27 years – smile as they pose outside the Eiffel tower, before they are joined by their adult daughters Ruby and Molly.
The sun must’ve been shining for them too as they wore sunglasses, while still being wrapped up in the winter coats.
Later on, they’re pictured by the monument at night, with the photo dated at February 18.
The family showed how much they loved each other as they took photos beside a love heart display too.
But it wasn’t just sightseeing, as they stopped by a Champagne bar to treat themselves to some bubbly rose.
The photo is captioned: “We’ll find a champagne bar anywhere…”
Another snap shows Phillip and Stephanie side-by-side on a hotel balcony, taken by one of their daughters.
The holiday comes two weeks after Phillip Schofield came out as gay live on air.
Fighting back tears, the much-loved presenter said he was aware of the “pain and upset” caused but that it had consumed him for years.
But he said his wife Steph had been “simply astonishing” while his daughters Ruby, 24, and Molly, 27, had immediately wrapped him in a “big and long” hug when he told them.
In the raw interview, Phillip, who married Stephanie in March 1993, said he had felt “overriding guilt” over the impact his statement would have on his wife and daughters.

But he said they had immediately supported him, describing wife Steph as the “kindest soul” he had ever met.
Wearing his wedding ring as he sat down to make the announcement today, he said he had “never had any secrets” from his wife – saying the relationship was always “honest and open”.
He said: “We’ll always be a family. Always, us four, is what we call ourselves.”
