Silver Fox teams up with Princess Cruises!

Personally, this is great news!  We always hear about ships getting “Godmothers”  – so could Phillip Schofield become the first “Godfather” of cruises?  Having watch Schofield on numerous shows including This Morning, he seems a really down to earth guy, the what you see if what you get kinda guy.  I will never forget the day him and Holly Willoughby turned up after the NTA’s in the same clothes and still drunk from winning their award!  Can you imagine – your’re on the same cruise as this guy and how much fun he would be!

My only concern would be who would help present This Morning with Holly whilst he is away!

The full story of Phillip Schofields appoint is below!

Princess Cruises have announced a brand partnership with TV Personality, Philip Schofield, becoming the cruise line’s first brand ambassador in the UK.

Phillip Schofield has been on British television for 30 years from CBBC’s to This Morning and a number of other iconic shows. Alongside his television presence he is also known for his charity work and stage roles.

The This Morning presenter will travel aboard the Royal Princess across the Mediterranean this spring. Schofield will also be on-board later in the year and will host a number of guest experiences.

Schofield, the self-confessed wine enthusiast, will experience Princess Cruises’ unique food & wine offering from a guest’s perspective. His ‘first time’ cruise experience will be captured on film.

Princess Cruises’ vice president UK and Europe, Tony Roberts, said: “We are thrilled that Phillip Schofield is our UK brand ambassador.  We know that with him on-board we can reach a whole new audience, who may have never considered cruising as a holiday option before”.

Phillip Schofield, said “I am very happy to be working with Princess Cruises for my first ever cruise.  They clearly take wine and dining as seriously as I do, so can’t wait to get on-board and experience it for myself. I also plan on being back on-board to try out the new Ocean Medallion later in the year.”

What do you think about this appointment – would you rather see somebody else do it?  Who will be next?
