Former This Morning host Fern Britton seemingly threw shade just minutes before she and her ex-husband Phil Vickery found themselves in an “awkward” TV ‘reunion’.
During Tuesday’s Lorraine (July 15), Fern appeared on the daytime TV programme to promote her book, A Cornish Legacy, and her new TV show, Inside The Vets.

Fern’s latest novel focuses on character Cordelia Jago, who thinks very highly of her friendships and her aunt.
In her interview with Lorraine Kelly, Fern said: “The curious thing about getting older, you think you’re not going to make any new friends, yet new friends do keep coming.
“You must recognise that, I’m all into this repowering, not being empowered, but repowering, the power you had in yourself when you were young, into this older person who has little responsibilities now, we don’t have to get up and do the school run. We don’t have to do anything like that.”
She added: “She’s gradually empowered herself, distrusting of men, doesn’t want anything… This is kind of write what you know…”
Lorraine began to laugh to herself as Fern stated: “And a nice person does turn up.”
