Fern Britton: Meeting someone would be icing on the cake

OHMYGOSSIP — Fern Britton says meeting someone would be the “icing on the cake” for her “perfect” life.
The former ‘This Morning’ presenter split from 60-year-old TV chef Phil Vickery in January 2020 after 20 years of marriage, and while the mother of four – who has twins Jack and Harry, 28, and daughter Grace, 25 from first marriage to Clive Jones, and daughter Winnie, 20, with Phil – admits she hasn’t thought about dating at the moment, but it “would be lovely” if a Mr. Right came along.
Fern, 64, who is the August cover star of Prima magazine, told the publication: “I’m not considering dating right now. I haven’t been seeing anyone and nobody has approached me, which is nice, too.
“If someone came along who was lovely and kind and we didn’t have to live together – if he had his life and I had mine – that might be perfect.
“But on the other hand, life is pretty bloody perfect right now and I’m happy with my company, so meeting someone would simply be icing on the cake.”
Fern went on to say that this new chapter has come at the right time of her life, but she doesn’t “want to be the poster girl for separation”.
She added: “This new chapter has come at the right time for me. I don’t want to be the poster girl for separation, though, because a lot of people go through the same thing.
“Often, the children leave home and you look at each other and go, ‘Ah, where do we go from here?’ I only wish I was the sort of person who could have persevered through that, but I couldn’t.”
The presenter, who lost her house when she split from TV chef husband, encouraged those in the same boat to “have courage”.
She said: “Get yourself financially independent, so you have the opportunity not to have to rely on anybody for anything. We can’t rely on somebody for our own happiness, let alone to look after us and keep us housed.
“Then, if you find yourself in a situation where you’re at a crossroads, have courage. Look into yourself and ask, ‘How do I feel?’ If the answer is, ‘Pretty depressed,’ you don’t have to conform just because you think other people want you to. Do it for yourself.”
