As Fern Britton enters the Celebrity Big Brother house, reports claim that she could dish on her past alleged ‘fallout’ with Phillip Schofield.
Phil left ITV last May after admitting to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague. Over the years, there have been rumours that he’s fallen out with some TV stars.
But who are they?
Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield ‘feud’
Phillip allegedly fell out with Fern around the time she left This Morning. Fern co-hosted the ITV show with Phil from 2002 to 2009 but reports claimed that he earned three times the amount she did.
The telly star always denied this as the reason she had quit but the pair stopped talking. Phillip even claimed in his autobiography Life Is What You Make It that they had rowed backstage over the content of a This Morning episode.
“I walked back into the makeup room and calmly said: ‘Please don’t do that to me again,'” he penned. “I think, for whatever reason, that was the point Fern decided she didn’t want to do This Morning any more.”
Four years after Fern’s exit, Phillip told Heat magazine: “We were involved in the show and mates at the time, but we don’t really [speak]. I see Phil [Fern’s then-husband, chef Phil Vickery] when he’s in This Morning… But we’re not in touch now.”
Fern Britton ‘buried hacket’ with Phillip Schofield
Fern appeared to bury the hatched in early 2021, however, as Phil celebrated 40 years in television.
In a recorded message, she said: “Forty years is an incredible milestone and it’s time for you to stop and look back and see all that you have achieved and be proud of it.”
Fern Britton to spill details on Phillip Schofield in Celebrity Big Brother?
Now, Fern has headed into the CBB house and could spill details on the ‘fallout’. A source told OK!: “She felt like she was really hard done by when she left This Morning and now she wants to tell her side of the story.
“She actually blames Phillip Scofield for her losing her job and felt he had a lot to do with the fact she got pushed out for a younger model, she’s not afraid to speak out now and she’s not taking any prisoners.
“Viewers can certainly expect fireworks. She’s using it as an opportunity to relaunch her career.”
