Fern Britton says she's not in CBB to talk Schofield

Former This Morning presenter Fern Britton says she hasn't joined Celebrity Big Brother to "spill the beans" about her former co-host Phillip Schofield.

Britton says she will be approaching the topic of Phillip Schofield with “caution and kindness” during her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

Schofield left ITV last year when he admitted to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger production colleague.

“Apparently I’ve signed up to spill the beans,” Britton told the Mirror.

“Well, right now, I can tell you that I think let’s approach with caution and kindness. It’s fair to say that towards the end we were not getting on.”

“I haven’t been on that show for 15 years. I don’t know anything that’s been going on since then. And so it would be A, very old views. B, not terribly interesting, but I did love This Morning. I absolutely loved it.

“I wasn’t expecting to resign on the day I resigned.

“There’s a lot of stuff that I have obviously learned from and toughened up a bit. And it hasn’t all been a breeze, but I don’t regret, apart from if I’d put my mind to it, I could have done more.”
