Fern Britton opened up about the end of her marriage with Phil Vickery just weeks before he was pictured kissing one of her close friends.
The This Morning chef, 61, has been pictured kissing his ex-wife Fern's best friend, Lorraine Stanton, two years on from their split - with the new couple pictured looking very close and cosy as they kissed and embraced one another on the street during a recent date in London.
Lorraine - who has known Fern for decades - carried a Fortnum & Masum bag as she leaned over a suitcase and an overnight bag for the kiss. An onlooker claimed the pair looked like "teenagers in love" during their romantic jaunt, and added how "that will be just so hurtful for Fern".
