Fern Britton loves skinny dipping

The former 'This Morning' host has relocated to Cornwall after taking a step back from her TV work, but she's already been caught skinny dipping by some local residents.

The 64-year-old star - who split from husband Phil Vickery in 2020 - shared: "I saw some people on the cliff and thought, 'Oh, b*****'."

Fern has relocated to the coast in search of a quieter life. But the popular presenter admits that her new reality has taken some getting used.

Fern - who used to have her own personal chauffeur - told the Daily Mail newspaper's Richard Eden: "In the first month or so, I would walk out of the house waiting for a car to be there, because for ten years I had this wonderful driver who'd silently slink up outside the house or my work - or if I wanted to go shopping in the West End.

"For a while, I would walk out the front door, going, 'Where's the bloody car?'"

Meanwhile, Fern previously confessed to missing her "friendship" with Phil.

The presenter - who married the chef in 2000 - insisted they were the "best of friends", but also acknowledged that their romance had run its course and that they needed to go their separate ways.

Fern - who has Winnie, 20, with Phil, as well as Grace, 25, Harry, 28, and Jack, 28, with her first husband - said: "We had a wonderful time. We were the best of friends. And I miss that friendship.

"But there comes a point when the children are substantially off your hands and you look at each other and wonder where you’re going to go from here."
