The 48-year-old broadcaster, who stood down from the breakfast show in December last year, claimed that radio provides much more suitable entertainment for her children before school.
She told Reveal: "I won't let my children watch television in the mornings as I find it really annoying. They turn into zombies, which makes me end up shouting at them to get ready.
"It's banned in my house - I have the radio on instead."
Phillips, who is married to GMTV's editor Martin Frizzel, added that her decision to quit the programme to spend more time with sons Nathaniel, 10, and Mackenzie, 7, was the right one.
She commented: "I miss my colleagues but I don't miss GMTV at all. Leaving was the best decision I have ever made."
