What Prompted Fern Britton's Exit From This Morning?
Fern had been co-hosting This Morning with Phillip for a period of eight years until she left unexpectedly in 2009. It was later uncovered that there were ongoing disagreements between the pair which had contributed to her departure.
At first, the news was that she had departed the job because she had learned that she was receiving a lower salary compared to her co-host.
However, even though the pay discrepancy was previously mentioned, she eventually rejected this claim and explained that an issue that occurred on the set was the reason for her departure.
During her appearance on the Ray D'Arcy Show in 2020, the individual in question addressed an ongoing speculation about her departure. The rumor suggested that she left because her co-worker Phillip was receiving a higher pay than her. In response, she expressed confusion, stating that it did not make sense for her to leave a successful show for no reason other than monetary concerns.
She said: 'There was an incident that made me think it was enough, so I left my job and quit. I was treated unfairly, to be honest. Eventually, I stopped caring and decided to leave it all behind.'
According to Phillip's biography Life is What You Make It, the reason for their conflict can be traced back to a disagreement about the material presented in a specific episode of the television show This Morning.
He stated that Fern, who is 66 years old, decided that she no longer wanted to work on the program at that particular moment for an unknown reason, which was the decisive factor.
Fern Britton And Phillip Schofield: What Happened?
Even though Phillip mentioned in his life story that he made an effort to fix things with Fern and felt a strong longing for her, they ended up having a heated argument on social media. This happened when Fern stated that she was not invited to the celebration of the show's 30-year on-screen success, which caused a disagreement between the two of them.
He responded to the tweet saying that it was strange as the person had been asked to attend but declined. He added that they would have been glad to have her there as she was a significant and admired contributor to the program. #amnesia
He disclosed to Heat magazine in 2013 that they were no longer in contact, fueling speculation of a hostile split.
"We were part of the same show and were friends back then, but presently we don't have any communication," he included.
Fern Britton's Response To Phillip Schofield's Exit From This Morning
Before it was exposed that Phillip had been unfaithful to his spouse, there were whispers that he had also had a disagreement with Holly, who is 42 years old. Fern appeared to make a somewhat questionable remark regarding the situation last year.
Fern wrote on her social media platforms that she had recently met up with Eamonn Holmes, a former host of This Morning on Fridays for a period of 15 years. However, Eamonn had to leave the show in 2021 and also had a reported disagreement with Phillip.
It's always nice to receive surprise calls from old friends. Recently, I had a pleasant conversation with Eamonn Holmes and it made my day. Shared about so many things and had an amazing catch up. Tweeted about the same on my Twitter handle.
Many individuals suggested that their discussion probably revolved around their former colleague, and someone made a humorous remark by saying, "I bet you two are laughing about Phillip."
It has been reported that Fern is preparing to disclose all the details of her broken relationship, as soon as the cameras inside the house are turned on.
According to an insider who spoke with The Sun, the individual in question desires to reveal a distinct facet of her personality that's genuine and unrestrained, with no apologies necessary.
