Between the years 2000 and 2020, Fern Britton and This Morning chef Phil Vickery were married.
In January 2020, Fern shared an Instagram post that shocked her fans, confirming that her and Phil had called it quits.
The 65-year-old wrote: “After more than 20 happy years together, Phil and I have decided to go our separate ways.
“We will always share a great friendship and our lovely children. We would appreciate it if our privacy is respected at this time. Thank you for your continued kindness and support.”
They share three children together, Winnie, 21 and twins Harry and Jack, 28, while Fern has another daughter, Grace, 25, to her former husband Clive Jones.
Earlier this year, Fern opened up about her experience diving back into the dating world, though apparently her ex has since found love with her friend.

As of September 2022, Fern Britton is believed to be single as she admitted to finding the rebound “difficult” earlier this year.
In an interview with Woman & Home magazine, Fern explained: “People say they bounce back from a long relationship, but it takes a while.
“The rebound is difficult. You chuck the pebble in the pond, but the ripples go on for a very long time.”
She went on to explain how she has been coping with the transition after 20 years of marriage.
Fern added: “It’s been a long time getting to the dawn, but I’m in another brand-new chapter and do feel it will be all right.
“I have a lot of peace in my life. I’m doing more yoga, meditation and walking – a bit of self-care.”
In July, she then told Prima Magazine that this was a “new chapter” but she didn’t want to be a “poster girl for separation.”
Fern explained: “This new chapter has come at the right time for me,” she told Prima Magazine. “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.”

In pictures disclosed by The Sun, Phil and Lorraine are believed to be kissing alleged during a date in London.
Lorraine, who is a hospitality worker, has been close friends to Fern for several years.
The 58-year-old has since admitted that her marriage is over and that she has moved out of her family home.
Speaking to MailOnline, she said: “It’s a difficult time for me and the family. I don’t actually live in the marital home anymore and it’s got nothing to do with the latest incident over the pictures.
“We are going through a grieving period as a family, and I’ve also just lost my step father. My children are feeling very vulnerable, and they are very upset about the whole situation.”
However, Fern has since clarified the situation, Tweeting: “Good morning all. Just to clear up any concerns re @TheSun front page. It is not true.”
Daily Star has approached Phil’s representatives for comment.
