Fern Britton Reflects on This Morning Tenure, Schofield Departure, New Book

Fern Britton reflected on her years co-hosting ITV's This Morning with Phillip Schofield, describing their partnership as mostly positive despite past rumors of a feud. She expressed mixed emotions over Schofield's 2023 resignation following his admission of an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a younger colleague, acknowledging the difficult impact on him and his family. Britton also shared personal insights about learning to recognize manipulation in relationships and her easy-going nature. Since leaving television, she has established herself as a bestselling novelist, with her latest book, A Cornish Legacy, exploring themes of divorce and inheritance. Britton lives in Cornwall after her split from TV chef Phil Vickery and has embraced community involvement through regular church attendance and volunteering. She remains open to new love but emphasizes that any partner must be kind, honest, and able to make her laugh.
