Johnny Vegas issues Philip Schofield warning + relive his brief rugby league career

Johnny Vegas has warned Stuart Clark’s 85-year-old Mum to steer clear of the ITV This Morning man, Philip Schofield, she's besotted with.
“Don’t leave her in the same room as him, Stuart,” the stand-up, actor, director and serial panel show guest says. “Ooooh, he’s smooth, Philip Schofield. He gives out that false air of harmlessness, but when those eyes pierce you… it’s like he’s rummaging through your soul.
