Ben Shephard, 45, has found himself an admirer in Fern Britton, 63, as the author branded the presenter “handsome and lovely” this afternoon. Fern, who is newly-single after splitting from her husband Phil Vickery, 59, earlier this year, gushed over the Good Morning Britain host while announcing her return to TV in a Twitter post.
The former This Morning presenter revealed she is set to appear on Ben’s show Tipping Point after previously making a move away from television to focus on writing.
Fern shared a behind-the-scenes snap from her dressing room before recording her episode of the ITV game show today.
The star was pictured smiling for the camera in the mirror, while sitting beside a collection of make-up brushes.
She captioned the photo in view of her 77,000 followers: “Sitting in it Winnebago (socially distanced) waiting to record an ep of @TippingPointITV.”(sic)

The presenter said she “couldn’t face” certain things she found during the task, eight months after her split.
She tweeted: “I am having trouble opening packing cases that contain many items that bring back good/bad emotions.”
“I found I couldn’t face it,” Fern continued.
“But today, 2 incredible women, pro declutterers, have arrived to sort it all out.”
