Fern Britton, 62, tweeted that she could not wait for new BBC show A Suitable Boy to begin airing as it will show one of her favourite countries, India. The former This Morning presenter went on to confess she had an attraction for “men in turbans” as she finds them to be “so dashing.”
“But we do have a good friendship. Phil and I had the greatest fun together and we have the most beautiful daughter together, Winnie…. as so we will always be connected.”
“Life has changed for me in the last ten years, especially with my career. So it’s lovely to think I can just concentrate on writing, the kids and getting on with life.
She added: “This feels quite comfortable, and Phil and I knew it was the right thing to do.”
The couple married back in 2000 and met on the set of BBC Two’s Ready Steady Cook.
