Fern Britton says 'it's not too bad' as she shares personal life update on This Morning
Fern Britton shared a poignant update as she made her return to This Morning on Thursday (June 26).
The veteran broadcaster co-hosted the popular ITV daytime programme with Phillip Schofield from 1999 to 2009.
She has since taken the helm of other popular series including Ready Steady Cook and All Star Mr and Mrs, as well as participating in audience favourites such as Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother.
Stepping back into the This Morning studio today, Fern spoke with presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard about her latest project, Inside the Vet's, which she referred to as "emotional".
The forthcoming series, set to debut on July 4 on ITV1 and ITVX, illuminates the vital role played by veterinary teams, reports Wales Online.
Inside the Vet's will offer audiences a glimpse into The Grove Vets in Bristol, showcasing how the practice operates on a day-to-day basis, from routine health checks and dental procedures to urgent surgeries and more.
Discussing the show on today's This Morning, Fern remarked: "I found the whole thing very emotional, but so do the vets. Fortunately, we didn't have any beloved pet who died."
She added: "I must say, I was just blown away with how respectful the vets were to these animals who were in very insecure situations."
The conversation later turned to Fern's newly published novel, A Cornish Legacy, which narrates the story of a woman piecing together her life in Cornwall—a narrative that appears to parallel Fern's own life.
The presenter notably relocated to the county back in 2020 after her separation from chef Phil Vickery.
"A Cornish Legacy came out a couple of weeks ago and it went straight to number six on The Sunday Times List, so I'm thrilled to bits with that," Fern explained.
Cat then remarked: "The last I saw of you, you were sitting in your garden writing... Sitting in the garden, enjoying the Cornish countryside, listening to the birds singing."
"It's not too bad. Life is good," Fern replied, before confirming that she is currently penning her latest novel.

But, back in the villa Meg was left reeling at the thought of Dejon spending time with a new girl. Now, Dejon's sister Saint is having her say on the situation, taking to TikTok she revealed how she really feels about Meg and her brother's relationship. She said: 'I love my brother and I'll support whatever decision he wants to make on Love Island but if he fumbles the bag with Billykiss. "If he fumbles the bag with her, I'm going to have to stop watching the show. Im going to have to stop watching it. 'I support him in whatever decision he makes, but I'll be so upset. "Everyone pray that he chooses Billykiss." Last night's episode saw two islanders dumped from the island in a shocking turn of events. After gathering around the firepit new bomshells Ryan and Billykiss were told to stand at the front. The boys were then told to stand up if they'd like to recouple with Billykiss. Conor stood up, and said that his date went really well with Billykiss and he'd be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection. Two dumped Love Islanders revealed as villa stars break down in tears over shock exit Alima, left uncoupled, then took Billykiss' place up at the front. The girls then had to stand up if they'd like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none of the girls stood up. Now newly single, this left Alima and new bombshell Ryan dumped from the show. Fans were shocked that Dejon did not stand up to couple up with Billykiss but instead chose to stay with Meg. Meg has been recently been called out by ITV viewers for her 'controlling behaviour' towards Dejon as he explored connections with bombshells Malisha Jordan and Caprice Alexandra. After her brother's decision Saint made a follow up post, captioning video: 'Welp are prayers were not answered (sad emoji)' She added: 'Clearly him and Meg have a good connection in the villa and he really likes her and she likes him and I'm happy for him. "Like I said, whatever decision he makes I'm going to root for him, I'm here for him, I love him and I support him, I'll welcome Meg into the family.' 6 Meg has been recently been called out by ITV viewers for her 'controlling behaviour' towards Dejon Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 Fans were shocked that Dejon did not stand up to couple up with Billykiss but instead chose to stay with Meg Credit: Eroteme

TV chef sparks Love Island race row as she slams bosses over ‘damaging' act, fuming ‘do better!'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TELLY chef Lorraine Pascale has launched a blistering attack on Love Island bosses urging those at the show to "do better." Her remarks - which allege new newbie Billykiss Azeez replacing Love Island 2025 OG Alima Gagigo had caused "damage" in terms of representation - came after Alima and bombshell Ryan Bannister were given the boot in a double elimination.

Furious fans told how they had "complained to Ofcom" about the twist of fate. Yet this wasn't the first time they had rallied around the Glasgow-born lass, with fans previously left fuming that no bombshell had been brought in for the talented wealth management client services executive. Now chef Lorraine, 52, who has previously starred on ITV daytime show This Morning as well as many of her own series, including the BBC's Baking made Easy, has spoken out on her own personal view in a post about representation on the series. She wrote on X: "Wow @LoveIsland. You finally cast a Black woman who was thriving, and then you replace her with another Black woman? "This isn't representation, it's tokenism. "You're reinforcing the idea that there's only room for one of us at a time. That's not diversity - that's damage. Do better." A show source has refuted suggestions of a race row and said: "During last night's episode, the format point was based around the islander's own decisions on whether they wanted to recouple." At the time of writing, Lorraine's message - which reflects her honestly held opinion - had been 'liked' eight times. I'm 50 and still wearing cut out bikinis - people might say I'm too old but I won't stop, says TV chef Lorraine Pascal When The Sun was first to reveal the eviction, we made it clear it was the islanders who would decide their own fate - with the decision of the public or show bosses not involved. EVICTION BLOW On Wednesday night's episode of Love Island, Tommy had a text asking all Islanders to gather round the Firepit. A second message told Ryan and Billykiss, the new bombshells, to stand at the front. The boys were told to stand up if they'd like to recouple with Billykiss. Conor stood up, and says his date went really well with Billykiss and he'd be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection. Alima, left uncoupled, then took Billykiss' place up at the front. The girls then had to stand up if they'd like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none of the girls did so. Due to both being single, Alima and new bombshell Ryan were dumped from the show. Ryan remarked that his time was short but sweet, but it's Alima's exit that left the girls in tears, as Toni and Yasmin were both seen crying. He had only just entered the show as a bombshell, alongside Billykiss. 7 Lorraine alleged the show had done 'damage' in terms of representation following the explosive eviction episode Credit: Getty 7 She left with bombshell Ryan - who barely spent any time in the villa Credit: Eroteme
