Viewers had already seen Phil, 64, cooking up a tasty meal in This Morning's allotment.
Presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley ran into an unfortunate technical blunder while trying to get an update.
Ben, 46, told the audience: "Phil is cooking up a delicious dish for the whole family and he's live from The This Morning allotment."
"It looks wonderful down there, Philip. We're trying to connect up his ear - can you hear us, Phil?"
The technical blunder saw Phil unable to hear Ben as he instead continued preparing the dish he was working.
Cat laughed as she quipped: "He could be just ignoring us", while Ben remarked: "Oh, dear."
Looking for a solution, Ben asked out loud: "Has anyone got a phone? Someone phone him. Can the cameraman hear us?"
He added: "So, nobody can hear us at the moment. This is quite fun, we can just watch them and see what they get up to."
In the background, soaps expert Sharon Marshall said she was calling Phil on her phone.
After showing a contest for viewers, however, the show was soon back on track.
This Morning star reveals HUGE change to the show amid ITV cuts
The presenters managed to successfully connect to Phil in the allotment this time.
Elsewhere, a This Morning star revealed bosses have made a U-turn on a bizarre rule amid ITV cuts.
Sweeping changes were announced last month to ITV Daytime shows that will impact the likes of This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine.
More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — meaning almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be let go.
But amid the changes, This Morning have introduced a style change.

2000 - Joined GMTV breakfast (now GMB) presenting Entertainment Today before becoming a permanent host in 2005

The show has long had an unwritten rule in place that meant presenters could not wear a specific item of clothing.
However, show staple Rochelle Humes said on TikTok: "There's a new rule, we didn't used to be allowed to wear jeans, did we?
"But we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news for me."
This Morning airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Inside Celebrity SAS star Adam Collard's 'dream' relationship with partner
Adam Collard is back on the small screen tonight with a new season of Celebrity SAS, but the prolific reality TV star also enjoys a high-profile romance. The Love Island star, 29, made a name for himself on various dating shows until he met 38-year-old football presenter Laura Woods, best known as the face of ITV's Euros coverage over the past two years. Laura shone when she presented coverage of the 2023 Women's World Cup for the channel. Not only that, but she is also a TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video presenter after spending several years as a boxing pitch-side reporter with Gary Neville on Sky Sports. Meanwhile, as well as stints on Love Island and Celebs Go Dating, Adam is also a fitness guru and founder of Sculpt Fitness. But what has he said about his long-term relationship with partner Laura Woods? Fitness coach and former Islander (in 2018 and 2022) Adam, 28, has been dating Laura since 2023. They confirmed their romance by making things Instagram official in October 2023. It was Celebs Go Dating star Adam who revealed he actually slid into Laura's DMs first but left her on read after she replied. However, sparks started to fly once they met in person and things got pretty serious rather quickly, with Adam declaring her 'the one' as their relationship became public knowledge. The couple frequently share loved-up photos together, with Adam sharing a sweet photo dump in May dedicated to his girlfriend, which he dubbed 'a little bit of everything'. It included photos of them on holiday together, training together and with the dog, with plenty of cuddles in between. In July 2024, the pair shared the happy news that they were expecting their first baby together. Just weeks later, in September, they took their relationship to the next step by getting engaged. At the start of this year, Adam and Laura celebrated the birth of their baby boy, Leo Ernie Collard, as friends and family flooded their social media with warm wishes. In an interview with the Mirror, Adam said about his fiancée: 'She's amazing and we are having a lot of fun. It feels like I'm living the dream. 'I would never get in a relationship with someone at least at one point [unless] I thought they were The One.' And when asked about the age gap by OK! Magazine, added: 'Perhaps that's what I've always been seeking: an older woman. 'It's something that works for me. But Laura isn't really an 'older woman'. If you meet her and spend time with her… I've dated younger people who don't act as maturely as she does! Age never factored into our relationship, it's been smooth sailing from the start.' Elsewhere in the same chat, he spoke about his dreams to be his children's 'best friend' like he was with his father and plans to have no more than two kids otherwise he 'might stuggle'. The pair have also faced hardships in their relationship, as Adam opens up about on the Celebrity SAS. He explained that Laura had been 11 weeks pregnant when she experienced a miscarriage (she felt pregnant with their son Leo a month later). Reflecting on the impact of miscarriage, he said: 'I know it's a terrible way to look at it, but I felt like it was bad karma for me being on dating shows and upsetting too many people. 'I felt like that was some high power's way of being like, 'Well, there you go, that's what you have to carry',' he said, per the Mail Online. He added that he was a 'love rat jumping from girl to girl. I want to show I'm not that man any more.' Prior to Adam being her boyfriend, Laura had a long-term relationship with a professional athlete. She dated former England rugby player Alex Corbisiero for eight years. Meanwhile, Adam's exes include Zara McDermott, who he was coupled up with during his first stint on Love Island in 2018, before moving onto an on-off relationship with Sarah Godfrey. His second appearance on Love Island in 2022 saw Adam pair off with paramedic Paige Thorne, with the relationship continuing for a few months outside of the villa, while he also had a fling with model Lottie Moss, Kate Moss's younger sister, after they appeared together on Celebs Go Dating. In May 2024, Laura sustained gruesome injuries from a freak pillow accident forced her 'off the tele' and to miss anchoring Tyson Fury's fight with Oleksandr Usyk for TNT Sports. The popular presenter required emergency surgery after a glass lampshade shattered above her and the glass cut her face and arms, narrowly missing her eyes. She explained at the time that the incident happened as she swung a pillow at a holiday cottage. In her post revealing her injuries she praised Adam 'for being my hero that day' as he acted 'so quickly' and didn't leave her side. Laura also praised the doctors who treated her as she continued: 'I've added in the photos from then to now to show that even though it may look rough, it's such a wonderful improvement already and I'm so grateful. More Trending 'It was a hell of a shock and I've been a bit sad, but I'm feeling very lucky it wasn't worse. So a big thanks to my eyebrow too, for taking the brunt of it.' Adam later angrily hit back at trolls who alleged he had hit his girlfriend, telling one commenter to 'shut up' and 'read her Instagram post'. Airing across eight one-hour episodes, the seventh series of Celebrity SAS can be streamed or watched live every Sunday and Monday on Channel 4, starting on August 3.

Celebrity SAS star Harry Clark's life off-screen from famous girlfriend to army career
Harry Clark is set to take on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, but how much do you know about the reality star off-screen? He shot to stardom overnight after his spectacular victory on The Traitors in 2024, and now Harry Clark is preparing to tackle his next television challenge on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The 23 year old features amongst the celebrity contestants appearing on the Channel 4 programme, which launches on Sunday, 3 August. He's joined by the likes of Chloe Burrows, Tasha Ghouri, Louie Spence, and Rebecca Loos for this year's series. With military experience under his belt before his reality TV breakthrough, it appears Harry, who recently unveiled his body transformation, stands a strong chance of excelling on the notoriously punishing programme. "Growing up, I'd watch people close to me be in the SAS, which always inspired me. This show was a different experience from what I had imagined, but I always love a challenge, and it proves you're always learning new things about yourself," he revealed. Here, we delve into Harry's previous military service and his celebrity girlfriend. Who is Harry Clark? Harry is a reality television star who rose to prominence on the second series of the BBC's The Traitors, reports Wales Online. The 23 year old claimed victory in the series following a dramatic finale, where his fellow contestant Mollie Pearson discovered he'd been misleading her throughout the entire programme and was, indeed, a Traitor. Harry departed with an astonishing £95,000 and has subsequently built a career in the public eye, securing fresh TV projects and expanding his social media presence. Army career Before his appearance on The Traitors, Harry served as a lance corporal with 47 Regiment Royal Artillery (47 Regt RA). He launched his military career at just 15, driven by admiration for his grandfather who had also served in the forces. "My Grandad on my Mother's side was in the Parachute Regiment; he was my idol, and I wanted to make him proud. He taught us about the importance of 'family', how to respect others, and he taught me how to be a gentleman," he said, as reported on the British Army website. Harry enrolled at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, Yorkshire at 16, where he trained as an aviation technician with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. When he applied for The Traitors, Harry had landed a fresh role with a railway firm and was preparing for a career change. Discussing the BBC programme, he previously told Revamp Magazine: "I never thought anything would come of it. I had a job lined up after the army, working on the trains, five days on and five days off." Who is Harry's girlfriend? Harry has been dating CBBC host Anna Maynard since 2022, after the pair first met at a Brighton nightclub. Anna, 24, has fronted CBBC programme Got What It Takes? since 2018 and commands a massive online following, including more than 333,000 YouTube subscribers. Her digital content spans everything from workout updates to beauty advice. She's the younger sibling of chart-topper Conor Maynard and YouTube sensation Jack Maynard, who also featured on I'm A Me Out Of Here. Harry and Anna frequently post about each other on social media, with their relationship seemingly growing stronger by the day.

Elizabeth Hurley poses in a COFFIN after transforming into the mysterious benefactor The Deceased as Channel 4 share first look at cunning new gameshow The Inheritance
Elizabeth Hurley proved that she can still look incredible - even while lying in a coffin - in the trailer for the new Channel 4 gameshow The Inheritance. The model, 60, plays 'The Deceased' in the entertaining trailer, which sees a stately home being plundered of expensive goods. Elizabeth, dressed in a plunging gold sequin dress, says: 'If haven't noticed, darlings, I'm dead, which means my entire estate is up for grabs.' Playing the part of a glamorous benefactor in the show, Elizabeth puts 13 contestants through their paces as they make their bid for her inheritance. However, if they want to get a large share of it, they will need to be cunning to win at her mischievous game. The game is overseen by Robert Rinder, 47, who is The Deceased's Executor and trusted legal counsel. The Deceased understands that people will go to great lengths to win her inheritance, but in her mind, only the most cunning among the contestants deserve to have it. That is why Hurley's character devised 'a series of devilishly difficult assignments' to ensure this happens. These are reported to put the players' diligence, decency and ruthlessness to the test. The game also has a twist - only one player can collect the inheritance from each request. This means that they will have to convince their fellow competitors that they deserve the windfall. Channel 4 said: 'The Inheritance is a camp, cut-throat game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal. 'It's not about who deserves the money, but who can outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the rest to claim it. ' The show has already been likened to the smash hit, The Traitors, which has a similar premise. The BBC show sees players move into Ardoss Castle in the Scottish Highlands where an informed minority (known as the Traitors) must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the Faithfuls). Elizabeth said: 'It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene.' Rob added: 'This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.'
