He made a cameo on Saturday Night Takeaway last month.
It has been reported that Phillip Schofield has been offered a two-album singing deal following a cameo alongside Ant and Dec last month.
The news comes after the This Morning host performed on Saturday Night Takeaway along with James Corden and Joe McElderry, putting on a special tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber to celebrate his 70th birthday.
Although viewers were surprised by the 55-year-old’s singing talent, he actually played the role of Joseph in London’s West End in the early 1990s.
Here’s how people responded at the time:

Now it looks like the cameo has led to big things for Schoey.
A source told The Sun: “It’s easy to forget he was in Joseph years ago.
“His cameo got people talking again. Warner wants to tap into that interest. His deal is for one album this year and one next.
“Execs hope he might have the same kind of success as Bradley Walsh.”
Nans up and down the country will be delighted.
