Fern Britton admits she has 'mixed emotions' on former This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield as she addresses his exit from television amid their long-running feud
Fern Britton has addressed Phillip Schofield 's departure from This Morning and reflected on their time hosting the show together after their falling out. The 67-year-old anchored the ITV programme alongside Schofield, 63, for seven years before quitting in 2009. Ahead of her departure, the pair famously fell out and haven't spoken since, with Phil previously claiming in his autobiography their relationship was 'beyond repair'. It was claimed at the time she felt 'undervalued by ITV' and that she was 'living in Phil's shadow'. Now 15 years on, Fern said she had 'great fun' hosting This Morning with her former pal whilst speaking about his own controversial exit. Speaking to Saga Magazine, she said: 'It brought up a lot of mixed emotions. The 67-year-old anchored the ITV programme alongside Schofield, 63, for seven years before quitting in 2009 'The years we worked together were mostly great fun and we were a very good partnership, which I can remember with fondness. 'I knew how much he loved his job and cared deeply for his public perception. It must have been a terribly difficult time for him and his family.' In 2022, Fern ended their long-running feud when she congratulated Schofe in a video message to celebrate his 40th anniversary in television. Last year the mum-of-four returned to screens, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother alongside Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne. Phillip stepped down from This Morning and subsequently all TV projects after he admitted to an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a 20-year-old crew member on the daytime show. Holly Willoughby, who took over hosting duties on This Morning from Fern, released a statement at the time saying she had felt 'hurt' by his 'lies'. Holly stepped down from presenting This Morning after 14 years on the show due to a terrifying kidnap threat and subsequently took time out from the spotlight. Phillip is also said to have called Holly 'The Witch' following the pair's departure from their presenting roles. Tensions between the pair reached further heights when Phil boldly declared there were 'three s**ts' at ITV on his Channel 5 show Cast Away. The pair used to be best friends, with their families even taking annual holidays together, but the bitter feud appears to have been reignited. Phillip is said to have told Holly that she 'brought him down' before he resigned from This Morning. Meanwhile, last week Phillip was making the most of the warm summer weather as he took his dog for a walk in west London on Wednesday. He cut a casual figure in the outing in a light blue shirt and a pair of cream knee-length shorts.

Fern Britton says she has 'mixed emotions' on Phillip Schofield amid their feud
Fern Britton has given her verdict on Phillip Schofield's fall from grace amid decades of feud rumours between them, admitting she has 'mixed emotions' about the shamed presenter. Fern Britton says Phillip Schofield's fall from grace left her with 'mixed emotions' after working alongside him for seven years on This Morning. 'It brought up a lot of mixed emotions. "The years we worked together were mostly great fun and we were a very good partnership which I can remember with fondness,' 67-year-old Fern told Saga Magazine, despite years of feud rumours between the pair. Fern quit This Morning back in 2009, with Phillip claiming in his 2020 autobiography that the pair had a fallout over This Morning's content, describing their relationship as 'beyond repair'. Three years later, Phillip, 63, stepped down from This Morning as it was uncovered he had an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a young show runner, following months of rumours he was embroiled in a feud with co-presenter Holly Willoughby. And while many assume there's no love lost between the shamed presenter and Fern, she had only kind words to say of Phillip. 'I knew how much he loved his job and cared deeply for his public perception. It must have been a terribly difficult time for him and his family,' said Fern. Since leaving This Morning, Phillip subsequently left his presenting role on Dancing On Ice and has steered away from the spotlight - other than his negatively received 2024 mini series, Cast Away, on Channel 5. While Holly Willoughby has also since left This Morning, with presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard taking over on the morning magazine show. However, Fern recently stepped further into showbiz with an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother last year, alongside the likes of Sharon Osborne and Louis Walsh. During her time in the famous house, Fern remained tight-lipped on her thoughts about Phillip's scandal-ridden two years. 'Genuinely, I haven't been [on This Morning] for 15 years – I got off the train and it's way over the horizon now, so I honestly don't know. I can't say anything. It was tricky at times. I think Ben [Shephard] and Cat [Deeley] are going to do a great job,' she said when probed by housemates. Since the TV stint, Fern has returned to writing and recently released her tenth book, A Cornish Legacy. 'After This Morning, I needed to find a way to pay for my children to go to university,' she says of the decision to become an author. Talking about relationships and love in her newest book, Fern says she is also open to romance in the real world, but says it won't be easy to woo her. 'I'm not adverse to [meeting someone new] but they'd have to be bloody spectacular,' said Fern, who split from husband of 22 years Phil Vickery in 2020. 'They'd have to make me laugh, they must be kind, and they must be honest.

Stephanie Davis confirms split from boyfriend five months after giving birth and admits she's 'in shock'
The Hollyoaks star had fuelled speculation she split from five-month-old son Samuel's dad when she snubbed him on Father's Day Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis has confirmed her separation from boyfriend Joe McKalroy after a week of speculation. The actress, 32, had been dating Joe since 2022 and they welcomed baby son Samuel five months ago. Last week it was reported that the romance had come to an end after a message Stephanie shared on Father's Day that didn't mention the father of her child. Rumours went into overdrive after further comments from the former Celebrity Big Brother star, and on Sunday she took to Instagram to share a huge life update with fans. She revealed they have gone their separate ways. Stephanie also told followers she's now raising Samuel as a single parent, but didn't give details about the reason for the split. She said: "Never in a million years did I think I'd be writing this. I've been left with no choice but to address the rumours." She continued: "This has come as a complete shock and has been an incredibly painful and unexpected time. Just four months after having a baby - one of the most vulnerable and emotional times in a woman's life - I've found myself facing this chapter on my own." The TV personality then hinted at her previous relationship with Jeremy McConnell, who she shares a seven-year-old son with. She added: "After everything I've been through in the past, I truly believed I'd finally found my happiness - something secure and lasting. But that, heartbreakingly, hasn't been the case. "I'm grateful for the years we had because, without us, I wouldn't have my Samuel. Who will always be my priority. "Right now, I'm focusing on healing, protecting my peace, and doing the best I can - being there for my two beautiful boys. Thank you to those who've reached out - your kindness has meant more than I can say." Earlier, Stephanie had shared a post marking five months since Samuel's birth, as reports the Mirror, and again she did not mention Joe. She said: "This Day 5 months ago you came into this world. Only 5 months old today ( I know he's still a tiny baby). It's crazy to think he's not been out in this world as long as he was in my tummy. "From nearly losing you in the beginning, the worst pregnancy, I couldn't walk with pelvic girdle trapped in the house for months and months, a terrible birth, then lifting doing every night feed lifting after a C-section, then your breathing episodes which was the scariest time of my life, it's been a long hard traumatic road. "But here you are thriving my miracle my rainbow... my world... everything I do is for you and your brother and I will always be here every single day for you, cheering you on." She added: "I'm so lucky getting to watch you grow every single day by your side into the most beautiful little boy. It So sad I don't have many photos of me and you bar selfies I've taken, but from now on I'll make sure we have many together. You will always be my priority. I love you baby."
