Following Phillip Schofield’s recent tell-all interview, his former This Morning co-host, Fern Britton, has broken her silence on social media.
Fern, who co-presented the daytime TV show with Schofield until 2009, unexpectedly quit the program.
Fern’s Tweet Hinting at Phillip Schofield:
Just prior to the release of Schofield’s BBC interview, Fern posted a tweet that some interpreted as a veiled reference to her former co-worker.
In her tweet, she mentioned receiving an unexpected call from an old mate and having a delightful catch-up with Eamonn Holmes, another former This Morning co-host.
The tweet seemed to allude to a longstanding friendship between Fern and Eamonn, which may have been intended as a contrast to her past working relationship with Schofield.
Eamonn Holmes’ Public Criticism of Phillip Schofield:
Eamonn Holmes, who worked alongside Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield on This Morning, has been vocal in his criticism of Schofield on multiple occasions.
Last week, he gave a tell-all interview on GB News, discussing his time on the show with Schofield.
Holmes took to Twitter on May 29 to express his views further, calling Schofield’s statement “delusional” and accusing him of posting on Instagram Stories to avoid a lasting record.
Holmes made it clear that he was not inclined to give Schofield any more publicity and warned him about picking a fight with the wrong person.
Fern’s Non-Reactive Tweet:
Despite the ongoing situation, Fern Britton chose not to address the controversy directly in her recent Twitter activity.
Instead, she shared her thoughts on a TV show, specifically the final episode of “Ted Lasso.”
Fern expressed that the episode moved her emotionally, evoking tears but also leaving her with a heartwarming smile.
By focusing on a different topic, Fern steered clear of any discussions related to the situation involving Phillip Schofield.
Phillip Schofield’s Confession and Apology:
Phillip Schofield announced his departure from ITV last week after admitting to having an affair with a colleague.
In his interview with Amol Rajan, he discussed the relationship and denied allegations of grooming the individual involved.
Schofield expressed his remorse and issued a sincere apology to his family, friends, colleagues, the public, ITV, his management company, and anyone affected by his deception.
He acknowledged the pain caused by his actions and expressed his deep regret.
Conclusion:
Fern Britton’s recent social media activity provides insights into her response to Phillip Schofield’s tell-all interview.
While she made a subtle reference to a positive interaction with Eamonn Holmes, another former This Morning co-host, she chose not to directly engage with the ongoing situation.
As the aftermath of Schofield’s confession continues, the public remains curious about further reactions from those associated with the TV show.
