In one of the episode’s most talked-about moments, Schofield, convinced he had seen paw prints and heard a ‘big cat’ prowling near his camp, attempted to scare it off by lighting a campfire. His tent caught fire, leaving him without shelter for the night.

Elsewhere in the final episode, Schofield claimed he was “fired for someone else’s crime,” insinuating that he was sacked for crimes committed by his brother.

Phillip Schofield has sparked conversation and backlash with his TV comeback on Cast Away, and it raises questions about what he plans to do next.
