Fern Britton and Phil Vickery often ‘weren’t even speaking’, pals claim after shock split

“It’ll be only me and Phil, and I did talk to him about it, asking ‘Are we going to be all right?’ He went, ‘Yeah, we’ll be fine’.”

Meanwhile, in a 2018 interview, Fern recalled how the pair first got together, admitting she wasn’t sure who he was at first.

She added: “He is my life’s great love, a really amazing husband, partner, friend. Yes, we have humdingers, but then we’re normal.

“Anyway, that’s good for the children to see. This is a real relationship.”
