Fern Britton left viewers in stitches—and Phillip Schofield slightly red-faced—after a cheeky on-air remark during a live TV segment. The former This Morning host didn’t hold back when asked about her thoughts on Schofield, delivering a playful but cringe-worthy quip.
Appearing on Steph’s Packed Lunch, Britton was discussing her new book when the conversation took an unexpected turn. Asked if she was still in touch with her former co-host, she smirked and replied, "I’m not a fan." The studio erupted in laughter, while Schofield’s reaction—had he been watching—would have been priceless.
The moment quickly went viral, with fans divided over whether it was a harmless joke or a subtle dig at their rumoured past tensions. Britton and Schofield famously presented This Morning together for years before her abrupt departure in 2009, sparking endless speculation about their off-screen relationship.
Britton later clarified her comment was in jest, but the internet had already seized the opportunity to relive their iconic on-screen dynamic. Whether playful banter or a sly jab, one thing’s certain: Britton still knows how to steal the spotlight.
