Fans are shocked after Phillip Schofield stripped down nude to skinny dip in the final episode of his TV return.

The three-part series, titled Cast Away, ended this evening as the former This Morning presenter returned to British tele after a year and a half away.

Schofield left morning TV after a scandal involving an extra-marital affair with a young coworker at This Morning.

The coworker was 20 at the time of the affair, though he was 15 when they first met, and 19 when Schofield got him work experience at ITV.

In the final episode, Schofield randomly strips down, before running nude into the ocean.

Whilst the scene makes some sense (who wouldn’t do the same left on an island on their own), the sudden appearance of Schofield’s a**e was a shock for viewers.

One fan tweeted: “Why’s phillip schofield just ran across my tv naked may i ask?”

Another said: “NO WAY have I just seen Phillip Schofield naked running into the sea”.

A third, who perhaps was humble bragging just a tad, tweeted: “Why am I seeing Phillip Schofield’s bare arse on my 60 inch tv”.

A fourth asked a vital question: “Did we really have to see Philip Schofield’s naked bottom?”

The final episode sees the end of what many would consider a less than successful return to TV for the ‘disgraced’ presenter.

The first episode received only 1.4 million viewers on Monday night, which would be considered an average show under Schofield’s reign at This Morning, not a massive shock return in a prime time slot.

In the episode, Schofield also opened up about his brother Timothy’s conviction for 11 separate sexual offences involving a child.

Schofield claimed that he was ‘fired for someone else’s crimes’.

ITV have yet to comment on the Schofield series, but in response to an earlier story, they pointed to a statement made by ITV in which said he was stepping down from This Morning but remaining a part of the ITV family.

He resigned from ITV as a whole via a statement to The Mail, which confirmed he had lied to the studio, his lawyer, and to his family about the affair.

He said in the episode he refused to ‘name and refused to acknowledge’ his brother, before saying: “I was always open and honest with everyone at work about what was happening with my brother. I was fired for the bad publicity, for someone else’s crime.”

In a statement to the Daily Mail at the time of his leaving This Morning he said: “I am making this statement via the Daily Mail, to whom I have already apologised personally for misleading, through my lawyer who I also misled, about a story which they wanted to write about me a few days ago.

“I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family. I am so very, very sorry, as I am for having been unfaithful to my wife…

“I am resigning from ITV with immediate effect, expressing my immense gratitude to them for all the amazing opportunities that they have given me.
