Many viewers will remember Fern Britton from her time on This Morning in the early ’90s. She worked alongside John Leslie and Phillip Schofield before leaving the show in 2009, after which she was replaced by Holly Willoughby.

Since then, Fern has featured on various programmes including Strictly Come Dancing, My Cornwall with Fern Britton and Britain’s Best Places to Live 2023.

Ahead of her appearance on the show, a source told The Sun: “She wants to show the public a different side to her – unscripted and unapologetic. She has a lot of stories to tell and she won’t hold back.”
