Former This Morning host Fern Britton has been heavily rumoured to be heading into the Big Brother house and she's reportedly ready to lift the lid on "many" things. A source has now revealed to OK! that CBB has come at the perfect time for Fern: "She feels she’s had a rough time recently – she’s spoken about her gastric band and also got divorced from her husband of 20 years, Phil, and she feels the public took his side – so it would be a time for her to remind everyone of what she can do and that she’s a good person.
She’s got a lot of stories to tell.” Ferne and ex husband Phil Vickery, who was a chef on This Morning, split in 2020 after more than 20 years together.
The couple married in 2000 and share daughter Winnie, 17, together. At the time, the 66 year old tweeted the end of her marriage in a statement on Twitter.
She wrote: “After more than 20 happy years together, Phil and I have decided to go our separate ways. We will always share a great friendship and our lovely children.
We would appreciate it if our privacy is respected at this time.
Thank you for your continued kindness and support.” Ferne later told Woman & Home magazine the reason for their split was that they, "simply needed to follow our own paths." She continued, "Over time we realised we weren't necessarily having the kind of life we once did." However, as she looks to put the past behind her, our source also said the opportunity to enter the hit reality show has come at the perfect time. “She would use it as an opportunity to relaunch her career," they continued.
