Dared by one of his Twitter followers to reveal his make-up free appearance, Phillip Schofield shared the above picture

He's been on our television screens for nearly 30 years.
But on Wednesday, Phillip Schofield decided to strip back the warpaint he sports on the small screen to give his fans an idea of how he looks off the box.
Asked by one follower on Twitter what he looks like without make-up, Phillip shared a picture of himself entirely bare of any cosmetic aids.

And Philip showed with the picture that he needn't rely on his TV warpaint, with the slight bags under his eyes looking like the only things covered up for his appearances on This Morning and Dancing On Ice.
Phillip has become something of a heartthrob and icon for grey-haired men after he decided to ditch the hair dye and embrace his natural look ten years ago.
But in an interview before he turned 50 last year, Phillip admitted that he found the ageing process hard to deal with.
He said: 'I hate it. It causes me deep personal anguish.
‘I don’t like ageing, I don’t like being older, time is going too fast, and life is like a train running at high speed. I have a real problem with it.'
However, despite Phillip's personal feelings about getitng older, there is one person who looks up to the presenter so much that he wants to turn into him as he ages.
One Direction star Niall Horan admitted in a recent interview that Phillip is his own personal icon.
Asked where he sees the chart-topping boyband in a decade's time, Niall said: 'I'd go to see what One Direction are doing in ten years' time. I'd love to see us doing a world tour and I'd like to see us sitting by the river in Amsterdam.'
'It wouldn't bother me if I had grey hair cos I love grey hair. I always tell Phillip Schofield that I'm very envious of him.'
