Fern Britton says she will walk out if Phillip Schofield joins Celebrity Big Brother

Fern Britton said she will walk out of Celebrity Big Brother if her former This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield enters the house.

The 66-year-old presented the ITV daytime show alongside Scofield for 10 years until she was replaced by Holly Willoughby in 2009.

Britton discussed her time on the show with fellow housemate Gary Goldsmith on Wednesday night’s episode (6 March).

The uncle of the Princess of Wales said: “It was rumoured that he was going to come in here.”

The presenter replied: “Oh well, that didn't happen. Yet! Maybe he's coming in as a surprise.”

Goldsmith said: “Can you imagine?”

“Well, yeah. I might have to leave at that point!”, she laughed.
