Fern Britton made a comment about former co-star Phillip Schofield on last night’s Celebrity Big Brother. But what happened between them and what was the last thing they said about each other?
During Wednesday night’s CBB, Fern was speaking with housemate Gary Goldsmith when conversation turned to This Morning – which Fern hosted alongside Phil from 2002 to 2009.
Gary asked Fern: “What do you think of what’s been going on recently [with] This Morning,” seemingly referring to Phil’s exit due to his affair admission.

Fern replied: “Ah, I see what you’re saying. Genuinely I haven’t been there for 15 years. I got off the train and it’s way over the horizon now. So I honestly don’t know. It was tricky at times.”
Gary then mentioned rumours that were swirling around that Phil was going to head into the CBB house. Fern said: “Oh, well, that didn’t happen… yet! Maybe he’s coming in as a surprise. I might have to leave at that point.”
So what actually went down with Phil and Fern? And what was the last thing they both said publicly about each other?

Feud rumours have surrounded Fern and Phil for many years following their This Morning days. They apparently fell out during their time on the show.
At the time, it was reported that Phil was earning three times the amount she was and that’s why she left This Morning. However, Fern later denied that.
Maybe he’s coming in as a surprise. I might have to leave at that point.
In his book, Life Is What You Make It, Phil discussed a moment they had rowed backstage at the daytime show. It was apparently over the content of a This Morning episode. He wrote: “’”
