Phillip Schofield slashes price of £1.2m penthouse in bid to sell bachelor pad
Phillip Schofield has slashed the cost of his £1.2million penthouse in a bid to be free of his former home it has been reported.
The disgraced former This Morning host, 61, has reduced the price of the luxury London pad that he purchased with wife Stephanie Davis in 2012 by £85,000.
The decision comes after Schofield and his estranged wife Stephanie, 59, had previously reduced the price of the two-bedroom property by £100,000 after listing it for the same price they bought it for.

At the time, he said: "Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than a just a friendship.
