It comes after a local media outlet reported that Molly had tied the knot in front of her family and friends.

It also suggested that the mystery groom would leave fans stunned.

This prompted her followers to reach out to her with well wishes.

Molly seemed bemused and insisted it wasn’t true.

She shared a photo of the headline and wrote: “Sounds like it would have been lovely day – if any shred of this was true.

“Can confirm I am not married, but thank you to the many people who were misled and have congratulated me.”

Molly relatively keeps out of the spotlight but last October she was forced to hit back at cruel trolls after he made his TV return in Cast Away.

The shamed TV presenter, 62, made his comeback to screens on in Channel 5’s Cast Away, a documentary series where he was stranded on a desert island for 10 days.

Phil shares daughters Molly and Ruby with wife Stephanie Lowe, and the three women appeared on the show for a goodbye dinner before he headed off.

Phil and Steph split after he came out as gay in 2020. He later confessed to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger male colleague.

After the first episode of Cast Away aired, Molly was forced to take to social media to slam cruel trolls.

She reposted a comment which read: “So if she’s so proud of him why does she use her mother’s name and go by Molly Lowe?

“That’s a recent change. She was always Schofield and no doubt happy to use it…”

But Molly fired back: “I’m Molly Schofield… and proud to be.” She added a middle finger emoji to drive her point home.

During the three-episode series, Phil blamed his brother for being “fired” from his lucrative This Morning and Dancing on Ice gigs.

In April 2023, Timothy Schofield was convicted of 11 sexual offences involving a child – including emotionally blackmailing a child into sex acts.

Phillip believed the discovery of Timothy’s crimes caused ITV to edge him out before firing him.

However, according to The Mirror, ITV insiders are highly refuted the claims, saying: “Phillip’s new comments are simply untrue, he is lying again.”

Instead, they claim he quit when the fallout of the conviction – combined with his “unwise but not illegal” affair with a 19-year-old runner on This Morning – became too much.

‘We stood by him through his brother’s court case and he then stepped away when things became too much,” the source said.

“He then admitted himself he had been lying about an affair and he resigned from ITV altogether.

“We didn’t sack him, he lied to us and then he resigned, there is not much else to say and we as a network just want to move on.”
