"And Holly [Willoughby] gave me a look and I thought - hmm - something’s going on here - you looked like a little old man, because there was nothing of you."
In response, Phillip explained: "You disappear inside yourself, and that’s when you’re lost. All you’re doing is thinking about whatever it is that’s on your mind…. I say you have to talk, even if you’re not a talker, even if it’s not something that you do.
"If you are in trouble you can’t do it on your own and it will eat you up. That was what saved me - talking out loud.”
The pair also touched upon Phillip's now-notorious journey to self-discovery.

Phillip was interviewed by close friend Holly

Despite this, Phillip said that he still isn't sure he's found himself.
"I still haven’t found me, if I’m honest. I’ve tried all the way through this - writing the book - and the few interviews that I’m doing - to be as honest as I possibly can be," he started.
"And I don’t know that I’ve necessarily found me yet. And I think it’s okay for me to look. I have recently found myself finding it easier to laugh more - it’s always funny with Holly Willoughby, we always have a laugh.
"But you think - oh that feels nice to laugh, that feels better. So finding me is the goal for the moment.”
