Phillip Schofield 's former This Morning co-host Fern Britton shared an emotional post about having the "happiest week", just one day after his TV return was announced. On Thursday morning (September 26), the presenter, 67, remained tight-lipped on anything involving her former co-star as she posted about her holiday with friends in Austria. One part of the trip saw the Celebrity Big Brother star relived her favourite moments from the classic musical, The Sound of Music, as she visited the real film locations in and around Salzburg.
Her fun-filled girls getaway also included drinking beer and riding an E-bike for the first time. Alongside an idyllic image of the Austrian mountains, Fern penned: "I have had the most happiest of weeks cycling in Austria with a group of the best women! Laughs, beer, dressing up, Sound of Music tour and, for the first time, the joy of an E-bike! What a pleasure!" Fern's post comes just one day after Phillip, 62, announced he would be returning to screens for the first time in 16 months. The veteran presenter hasn't been on TV since he stepped down from This Morning after admitting to an affair with a young male colleague at ITV in May 2023.
The former ITV star will appear in an exclusive three-part series for Channel 5 called Cast Away. Phillip will tell his own personal story in an emotionally charged ultimate survival experience. It will air across three nights from Sunday 29 September to Tuesday 1 October at 9pm.
