Former Manchester United player Phil, 39, is sure to be great entertainment, not least because he and wife Tanya admitted they're always having sex.
Talking in 2022 she once said: "We still manage it every day, even if we’re hiding somewhere in the house! It only lasts two minutes so it’s not that much of an effort.
"We just have to grab it when we can, like, 'Quick, quick, quick!'

Reality TV salaries revealed
Towie:
Cast members are put into four pay bands based on their popularity.
Reality veterans Bobby Norris, James ‘Diags’ Bennewith, Georgia Kousoulou, and Chloe Sims were in the top tier, which meant they commanded £450 an episode.
Others were paid £350, £250 or £90 if they were a newcomer trying to prove their worth.
Geordie Shore:
The MTV show reportedly paid cast members £1,000-a-month for their wild antics in the early days of the show.
Veteran Sophie Kasaei revealed the cast had to work other jobs to supplement their income.
She said: “When we first started the show we got absolutely nothing.
“The most we ever got was £1000 a month and we couldn’t survive on that, obviously after tax as well.
“Most of us worked at the call centre because in Newcastle there’s a lot of call centres because we can sell you the dream, we’re very friendly and warm and trustworthy.
Gogglebox:
Each household is paid the same monthly allowance of £1,500.
A show insider revealed the fee is then split amongst contributors at their own discretion.

While eventual series winner Sam Thompson was a snip at £80,000. This Morning's Josie Gibson is said to have pocketed £100k while Britney's sister Jamie Lynn received an impressive £250k.
