Fern Britton reflects on marriage to Phil Vickery and says she wishes she'd 'persevered'

Fern Britton has admitted that she wishes she could have "persevered" with her marriage with ex-husband Phil Vickery. The 64-year-old author also revealed that she does not want to "be the poster girl for separation," after splitting from the This Morning chef back in 2020, following 20 years of marriage.

But Fern has said that she's enjoying a new chapter in life, having released her latest book, The Good Servant, back in June, writes The Mirror.

She told Prima Magazine : "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."
