Fern Britton on dating again

In an interview after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house, Fern discussed her love life.

Fern said she’s open to finding love again, however, she won’t remarry. She also insisted she doesn’t want to live with anyone again.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, Fern said: “I don’t want to live with anyone – and I don’t want to get married again. I’m a very independent person and the older I get the more I realise I like freedom.”

When asked if she’s open to a new romance, Fern said: “If someone incredible came along who could put up with me, I’d say yes. It would be the icing on the cake really. But I don’t want to have to be cooking and cleaning and taking care of anybody. Separate houses would do me nicely.”

Fern Britton and Phil Vickery split

Fern has previously opened up about dating after her marriage split. Speaking last year, she joked that nobody would see her undress again.

Speaking to OK!, she added: “I don’t want anything much at all – just somebody who’s there. That would be lovely.”

Recently, Fern admitted life had “knocked me for six” after her marriage breakdown and the loss of her parents around the same time.

She told MailOnline: “I’m rebuilt and I’m doing okay. I was not suicidal, but life had knocked me for six. I was lost, then I found a bit of purpose again and it’s been lovely.”
