Phillip Schofield was seen puffing on an e-cigarette at a train station in West London – despite all forms of smoking being banned.

The former This Morning presenter, 62, puffed on a vape as he checked his phone while waiting to catch a train.

Phillip was dressed casually for the outing in a black jacket with matching trousers and a light grey polo shirt – and he was still wearing his wedding ring.

Smoking at railway stations in England has been banned since July 2007. 

This includes station concourses, ticket halls, on platforms – covered and uncovered – and footbridges and subways at station premises.

The smoking of e-cigarettes is also prohibited.

 Those who are caught can be prosecuted and fined. 

Phillip has mostly kept a low profile following his confession that he had an affair with a much younger colleague.  

But in recent weeks he has started to slowly edge his way back into the public eye with a flurry of appearances.

He was snapped in London in early May looking relaxed as he laughed and joked with close pal Declan Donnelly and his wife Ali Astall.

He had reportedly just enjoyed a four-hour dinner with ITV’s golden boy at a restaurant close to their homes when they were spotted in hysterics. 

Phillip followed that up days later by ending his social media blackout of nearly a year by reigniting his Instagram with a sweet photo of Alfie watching Formula One.

Daughters Ruby, 27, and Molly, 30, as well as This Morning co-host Josie Gibson raced to like the post within minutes in a clear sign of support. 

And his beloved daughter Molly is now his publicist after she quit the talent agency that once represented her father.

PR guru Mark Borkowski says his tepid return to the public eye has come after a year away to disappear and get himself together.
