Fern Britton's friend has broken her silence following pictures emerging of her kissing the star's ex-husband Phil Vickery.
Lorraine Stanton, 58, says her marriage is over and she has moved out of the family home she shares with husband Simon and their two children. She explains how her family is going through a 'tough time' but it is unrelated to the recent sighting of her exchanging a kiss with This Morning chef Phil.
Her husband Simon has also spoken out - claiming he does not know when he will have a chance to speak to his estranged wife about the recent snaps of her and Fern's ex-husband and revealing Lorraine has not be at their £1million country home in Windermere 'for a while.'
