Fern Britton's ex-husband, Phil Vickery, recently took to social media to share a cryptic message about "messing up something good." As many may know, Fern and Phil were married for two decades before announcing their divorce in 2020. The former This Morning host, now a Celebrity Big Brother star, had kept relatively quiet about their relationship and split, but it seems Phil is now ready to share his thoughts.
In a now-deleted Instagram story, Phil posted a quote that read, "A lot of people mess up something good, by looking for something better, to end up with something worse." He then went on to share some delicious Easter treats, a cup of coffee and cake, and an octopus salad, all accompanied by the hashtag #happydays.
Fern and Phil first met on the set of Ready Steady Cook and began dating after Fern's split from her then-husband, Clive Jones. The couple shares one daughter, Winnie, and though they never revealed the reason for their split, they released a joint statement saying they will always maintain a great friendship and co-parent their children.
Fern had once described Phil as her "life's great love," a fantastic husband, partner, and friend. However, since their divorce, she has spoken about the difficulties she has faced, including losing her parents and her former home in Buckinghamshire. Despite these challenges, Fern remains positive and sees this as a transition period in her life, full of opportunities.
During her time on Celebrity Big Brother, Fern made it to the final and even opened up about her love life, saying she is ready to slow down and not afraid of change. However, she also mentioned that she does not want to fall in love again. This led to a conversation with fellow housemate Louis Walsh, who encouraged her to pick the right person and have fun, but Fern remains firm in her decision.
Her time in the Big Brother house was not without drama, as she found herself in a disagreement with former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and even spilled some tea on her feud with Phillip Schofield. While some viewers appreciated her honesty, her housemates were not as keen. Lauren Simon even accused Fern of playing a game and trying to win by creating drama.
