Early life
[edit]Fern M. Philomena Britton was born on 17 July 1957 in Ealing, West London, to actor Tony Britton and his first wife, Ruth (née Hawkins).[1][2] She has an older sister and a younger half-brother Jasper, an actor, from her father's second marriage.[3] She attended Dr Challoner's High School in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, and the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she trained in stage management.[4][5]
Career
[edit]After working with The Cambridge Theatre Company, Britton subsequently began her broadcasting career in March 1980 in Plymouth working for Westward Television, the then-incumbent ITV regional company, as a continuity announcer and newsreader on the the weeknightly local bulletin Westward Diary. After Westward lost its franchise at the end of 1981, Britton moved to the local BBC headquarters as a presenter with Spotlight in the South West, before moving to BBC 1's Breakfast Time, where she became the BBC's youngest-ever national news presenter. She was also a stand-in co-presenter on News After Noon during this period.[6]
Britton then worked for TVS in Southampton, co-hosting the South edition of the news programme Coast to Coast with Fred Dinenage, as well as Coast to Coast People, The Television Show, Magic Moments and, as presenter with Stefan Buczacki, of That's Gardening. She stayed until TVS's franchise ended in December 1992.[7] In 1988, Britton took part in Cinderella, a pantomime in which she played the role of Dandini at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton. She was presenting Coast to Coast from the city at the time and her preparation for the part was filmed for the programme.[8]
In January 1993, she joined London News Network's London Tonight, before moving in April 1993 to GMTV to present the post-9:00 am slot, Top of the Morning. Britton moved back to Carlton Television to present After Five in 1994. She also appeared in the first two series of The Brian Conley Show.[9] From 1994, Britton presented the television cookery gameshow Ready Steady Cook, which she continued until 2000. Britton had guest presented This Morning since 1993, but from September 1999 she became a full-time host presenting the Friday edition with John Leslie. In 2002, she became the main host of the series along with John Leslie and, later, with Phillip Schofield.[10]
In 2002, Britton was the subject of This Is Your Life when she was surprised by Michael Aspel at Wickham Hospital in Buckinghamshire.[11] In 2006, Britton co-presented the reality television show Soapstar Superstar. On 31 May 2007, she hosted the Classical Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall and she also co-hosted The British Soap Awards from 2006 until 2008 with Phillip Schofield.[12] Britton has appeared twice as a panellist on the BBC show, Have I Got News for You, and guest presented on 27 April 2007 and on 17 October 2008.[13]
In 2007, Britton presented her own ITV Saturday night series called That's What I Call Television. In each show, she was joined by a celebrity co-host who selected their favourite TV moments from the 1980s and then reunited some of the original stars of selected shows. Julian Clary was her first co-host, followed by Matthew Kelly on the second show, and finally Bradley Walsh for the third. In December 2007, a Christmas edition was broadcast with co-host Ronnie Corbett, and a week later another was broadcast, this time with Desmond Lynam.[14] Britton has featured in advertisements for several companies and causes, including appearances as herself in advertisements for several Ryvita products including Ryvita Minis, and in the 2007 What's it going to take? campaign for the charitable organisation Women's Aid.[15]
From 2008 until 2010, Britton co-presented a revival of the ITV show Mr & Mrs; this time it was an "All Star" version. She co-hosted the show with Phillip Schofield.[16] In November 2008, Britton announced she was to take a break from This Morning and return after the Christmas break in January 2009.[17][18] Britton announced on 25 March 2009 that she was leaving This Morning, after 10 years, at the end of the current series.[19] Two days after quitting This Morning, Britton pulled out of hosting the 2009 British Soap Awards alongside co-host Phillip Schofield.[20] On 17 July 2009, Britton's 52nd birthday, her farewell This Morning programme was aired. Britton made her comeback to ITV in 2017, presenting daytime series Culinary Genius.[21] She also presented A Right Royal Quiz for the channel.[22]
Between 2009 and 2017, Britton hosted a series for BBC One titled Fern Britton Meets... in which she interviewed high-profile personalities about their religious beliefs.[23] The series attracted particular attention for an interview with former Prime Minister Tony Blair, in which he said he still would have thought it right that Iraqi president Saddam Hussein be removed even without evidence he had weapons of mass destruction.[24] The same year, Britton returned to the BBC and was a team captain on the BBC One trivia panel show As Seen on TV.[25] In November 2009, Britton appeared as a stand-in host on The Paul O'Grady Show for two weeks.[26]
In February 2011, it was confirmed that Britton would be taking over the 5:00 pm chatshow slot on Channel 4 that Paul O'Grady previously hosted. The show, Fern,[27] began on 28 March 2011. The programme drew low audience figures and was reported to be facing a revamp, change of timeslot or cancellation after its second week on air.[28] The show has since been confirmed as axed in its present form but Britton may work on other projects for Channel 4.[29] In May 2011, Britton played herself in a short independently made film by Mark Davenport called Photoshopping alongside lead Joan Kempson.[30]
In September 2012, Britton was announced as one of the 14 celebrities taking part in the tenth series of Strictly Come Dancing. Her professional partner was Artem Chigvintsev and they were the the fifth couple to be eliminated from the competition.[31] In 2015, Britton accused Chigvintsev of kicking and shoving her during during the training sessions they held while they were dance partners on Strictly Come Dancing in 2012, though Chigvintsev would deny the claim.[32][33][34] According to Britton, Chigvintsev even joked that he would kill her.[32]
Between 2014 and 2015, Britton presented The Big Allotment Challenge for BBC Two. The series was commissioned for a second series which aired in early 2015. In January 2016, she began presenting the BBC One antiques game show For What It's Worth.[35] In January 2018, it was announced that Britton would play Marie in the touring production of Calendar Girls The Musical.[36] In 2022, Britton presented a revival series of Watercolour Challenge on Channel 5.[37] She also fronted Fishing Scotland's Lochs & Rivers and two series of My Cornwall with Fern Britton.[38]
In March 2024, Britton entered the Celebrity Big Brother house to participate as a housemate in its twenty-third series.[39] Throughout the series, she survived the most evictions and reached the final, where she finished in fifth place.[40] A year later, it was announced that Britton would front a new ITV series Fern Britton: Inside the Vet's.[41]
Writing
[edit]In March 1998, Britton released her first book, Fern's Family Favourites, published by André Deutsch and written with the cook and home economist Susie Magasiner. In November 2008, Fern, My Story was published by Michael Joseph.[42] It went straight into The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller list where it remained for 12 weeks.[43] Britton has written eleven novels New Beginnings (2011), Hidden Treasures (2012), The Holiday Home (2013), A Seaside Affair (2014), A Good Catch (2015), The Postcard (2016), Coming Home (2018), The Newcomer (2019), Daughters of Cornwall (2020), The Good Servant (2022) and A Cornish Legacy (2025), several of which have been in The Sunday Times bestseller list.[44] Whilst her short stories include The Stolen Weekend and A Cornish Carol (2014), The Beach Cabin (2015), A Cornish Gift (2017) and The Great Cornish Getaway (2018).[45]. In 2016, she signed a three-book deal with the publishers HarperCollins.[46][47]
Personal life
[edit]Britton's first marriage was to television executive Clive Jones. The couple met while Jones was still married and began an affair.[48] Britton broke off their affair after a year but Jones turned up on her doorstep two days later, after leaving his wife for her.[49] They married on 12 November 1988 in Southsea and have three children together; twin sons and a daughter.[50] Britton and Jones separated in January 1998.[51] A year later, Britton began dating celebrity chef Phil Vickery after they met on the set of BBC Two's Ready Steady Cook. After her divorce from Jones was finalised, they married in spring 2000.[52] They have one daughter together, born 2001.[53] In January 2020, Britton in a joint statement with Vickery announced their separation after twenty years of marriage.[54] She subsequently relocated to Cornwall.[55] Between 2021 and 2023, Britton was stalked by a man who sent her flowers and stayed in her holiday cottage. He was given a ten year restraining order and was banned from entering Cornwall, as well as having to complete 150 hours of unpaid work.[56]
