His wife, Stephanie, is a director of the company, meaning she is likely to get a share of the profits – despite Phillip coming out as gay in February.

The 58-year-old presenter has since signed a £1.45million deal for his forthcoming autobiography, and he was unveiled as the face of a new gin advent calendar for an estimated £60,000.

Yesterday a source said: “Phillip may be two years off 60, but he’s still a telly powerhouse – and very much in demand.

“He’s ambitious, and quite rightly has no desire to slow down any time soon.”

News of his mammoth pay deal comes 11 months after he and co-star Holly Willoughby reportedly got a £150,000 pay rise for working an extra 30 minutes a day following the axing of the Jeremy Kyle show.

The former West End star also has a money-spinning deal with Webuyanycar.com, recent ads for which saw him doing goat yoga.
