Phil Vickery caught looking awkward live on This Morning after Fern Britton dig
Phil Vickery appeared to look rather awkward during the crossover between Lorraine and This Morning on Tuesday.
The tense moment came after Lorraine Kelly spoke with Phil's ex-wife, Fern Britton, about her new novel.
"Good morning, Lorraine," Cat Deeley replied. "We are carrying on with our cosmetic cowboys investigation. We are continuing with that."
Ben Shephard chimed in: "I know you were talking about that earlier, Lorraine." As Ben continued, the camera panned to Phil, who was standing in the This Morning kitchen.
Phil, who had his arms crossed, awkwardly nodded as Ben went on: "Phil is in the kitchen with some ultimate summer salads."
Cat added, "We are going to be finding out how you can save on childcare costs."
The moment didn't go unnoticed by viewers at home either, as one said on X, "That link from Fearne to Phil (her ex) wasn't awkward at all #ThisMorning #Lorraine."
Another simply wrote: "Awkward."
Before Lorraine cut to the This Morning studio, Fern seemed to make a subtle dig at her ex when discussing her book.
"So she sort of gradually repowers herself," Fern explained when referring to a female character before adding: "Distrusting of men and doesn't want anything, this is kind of right what you know, obviously."
Lorraine laughed as Fern continued: "But a nice person does turn up. Ray."
Fern met Phil Vickery on the set of BBC Two's Ready Steady Cook. They have one child together, Winnie. However, after two decades of marriage, the couple decided to divorce in 2020.
At the time, Fern released a short statement, she said, "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."
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.

Slump in Gino D'Acampo's wealth since being axed by ITV revealed as shamed chef plots new life abroad
GINO D'Acampo's earnings have dropped by over £150,000 after he was axed by ITV. The channel cut ties with him in February after allegations of inappropriate behaviour. 4 New documents filed at Companies House show net assets of £195,999 for the financial year ending in April, compared to £352,534 in 2024. The shamed chef faced a considerable loss in earnings, with cash intake of £199k - down from £704k the year before. It comes after The Sun told how the former This Morning telly cook is relaunching his brand in Australia amid his UK woes. The Italian, 48, is launching 'multiple work projects', including two new restaurants and a culinary tech platform, 11,000 miles from his Hertfordshire mansion, which is now on the market for £4.2million. Last week Gino's representative said: 'He loves Australia a lot - the people, culture, cleanliness and environment.' While Gino will keep a base in the UK, he will be spending increasing amounts of time Down Under over the next two years as he also sets up a new cookware range for the international market. A source added: 'Gino has had a fantastic career over here - and still has an incredibly loyal fanbase. 'But it's been made clear to him that TV opportunities over here are few and far between in the wake of recent allegations, and that's frustrating. 'While Gino has always denied any wrongdoing, he's a pragmatist and knows it's time for new adventures. 'He's been inundated with offers Down Under following a really successful tour there. Gino D'Acampo slammed for 'highly inappropriate' cooking video as fans say 'that's disturbing and upsetting' 'He spent some time in Australia a few years ago, and loved it. He still has a large social media following and plans to capitalise on that in the next stage of his career.' The source said the star will be launching two new restaurants in Australia and will split his time between there and the UK for the next two years. His wife of 22 years, Jessica, and their three children will remain in Britain. The source added: 'But if all goes well, Australia is a full-time option.' 4 4

ITV's Unforgotten 'future in doubt' as creator 'steps down' amid series backlash
ITV drama Unforgotten could be 'facing the axe' after its next season as show writer Chris Lang speaks about his plans to 'quit' after responding to backlash last series ITV cold case series Unforgotten has been entertaining fans for over a decade - but it looks like the show is about to make a huge change. It comes two years after lead Nicola Walker who played DCI Cassie Stuart, was replaced by Sinéad Keenan, who plays DCI Jessica James. The change came after Nicola's character died after a car accident in the show in series four, with Keenan taking the lead from series five and beyond. The latest series, series 6, aired earlier this year, although some fans had criticised the show over the political theme as crime-solving duo DCI Jess James and DI Sunil Khan uncovered many hidden secrets. Viewers had complained that the "political commentary" felt too much on occasions in series six. One person stated on X: "I was a fan of each previous series. 2 episodes in and I'm finding the political commentary way too much, I think it detracts from the story and makes the whole thing less credible." Others went into describe the show as "too woke" with one writing: 'Sorry guys but you have ruined #Unforgotten as it's now complete woke nonsense!' Now, Chris has revealed he's planning to 'step down' as a writer after next year's new series. 'I'll probably hand on the baton after this series. I'll still be involved, but I've written 42 episodes and don't want to repeat myself, " Chris said in an interview with the Royal Television Society. 'I wouldn't write it if I didn't have something to say about the state of the nation," he continued. 'Because Unforgotten has an inherent and robust structure, that allows me space to hold up a mirror to British society — it's a Trojan horse show.' Responding to fan criticism earlier this year, Chris responded to one fan: "Sorry to hear that, I like to hold up a mirror to the UK, and reflect where we are." Despite the criticism, the drama which also features Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil Khan, received impressive viewing figures during the latest series in February. The first episode drew in a huge 7.4million viewers. The feedback wasn't all bad however - with many fans taking to social media to defend their favourite drama. One said: 'Just watched #Unforgotten #6. Yet again, THE best thing on television. Another agreed: "Yet again, huge credit to @ChrisLangWriter for phenomenal writing. "Yet again, huge credit to @SineadKeenan & @TVSanjeev for their excellent & totally credible performances, as to the entire cast and production." (sic)
