‘THE SADDEST DAY IN THE UK – ‘Farewell to Fern Britton’ – This Morning viewers: ‘WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU’
The Yours Members site has all the latest from the magazine, including exclusive celebrity interviews like this honest and open chat with TV presenter and novelist Fern Britton, about life after loss and how she’s written her very own happy ending…
Life over the last five years has changed significantly for Fern Britton (65). After splitting up with her husband of 20 years, Phil Vickery, she was forced to rebuild her life. That included moving from her home in Buckinghamshire to Cornwall. During this time she also lost her parents, who both died within a year of each other, leaving her feeling like an “orphan”.
But rather like the heroine of her new book, she’s tackling life’s challenges head-on and is starting to enjoy being single.
“The last three or four years have been difficult for the whole world in general and for me on a personal level,” she admits. “I got a bit lost. My next novel, out next summer, is about a woman who finds herself tackling all sorts of problems.
“In the will of her ex-husband, she’s left a Cornish mansion on a beautiful estate but it’s falling apart,” Fern explains. “Her personal life has imploded. It’s a tale about how one can save the other – if she can save the house, the house can save her.”
Former This Morning presenter Fern strongly identifies with her heroine. “Well, you know what they say? Write about what you know. I see parallels, absolutely. I’ve worked hard to try to get my life back on track.”
