Among those he appears to take aim at in Channel 5’s Cast Away — which starts tomorrow — are his former This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby.
Another is thought to be This Morning editor Martin Frizell — who Phil seems to blame for letting him take the flak over “Queuegate”, when he and Holly were accused of pushing in to see the Queen lying in state.
Other targets could include ITV chief Dame Carolyn McCall.
Phillip, 62, was forced to leave This Morning after 22 years following a fling with a much younger man.
Talking about his 40-year TV career, he says: “They know how important that was to me.
“They know when you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough.”
He goes on: “People can be fake. They can be so fake with you when it’s all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal.
“There are a lot of amazing people in morning television.
“I think there are only three sh*s. One of them is a coward who never stepped up in queuegate.
“One is a coward, because they never stepped up when I was being battered And the other is just brand-orientated.
‘Coming out caused me more anguish than joy’, says Phillip Schofield
“Not what you expect, not what you think you’re going to get.”
In a dig at his former management firm YMU, who still represent top TV talent, Phillip reveals they axed him by text.
He says: “I was suicidal and they sent me what looked like a cut and pasted text, ‘This time we have to let you go’.”
Elsewhere in the three-parter which sees him spend ten days alone on a small island off Madagascar, Phillip hints the show is his showbiz swansong.
He says: “They’ve taken pretty much everything. Reputation, dignity, legacy, everything.
People can be fake. They can be so fake with you when it’s all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal

“I’m not bleating, I’m just getting it off my chest. And anyone who’s bitter about that, honestly, you can f* off ’cause I don’t give a s*t. I quit.”
Holly, 43, yesterday shrugged off the controversy, celebrating the third birthday of her wellness company Wylde Moon.
