Fern Britton breaks down in tears on Channel 5 show
During Wednesday night’s episode, the former This Morning host paid a visit to the Buckinghamshire house she lived in as a youngster.
However, moments after arriving at her former home, located in Chalfont St Peter, Fern broke down in tears.
The bestselling author was visibly emotional as she walked into her childhood bedroom, shocked at how much it had changed since she lived there.
Looking around the place she had grown up from five-years-old, Fern said: “And this was my room.”
She added: “I didn’t know what was going on in the family at that stage.”
“I just knew that it was me and my mum and my sister here and that my father didn’t live here. It was odd,” she revealed.
“In those days, people didn’t tell you things.”
With tears filling up in her eyes, Fern said: “My mother was, as you could imagine, everything. She was mother and father to me which is why I can tell you lots of stories about her.”
She then started to cry as she spoke about the memories she shared with her mum.
