Fern Britton gets emotional returning to childhood home
Fern Britton bid farewell to her youngest daughter Winnie Vickery, 21, who has moved out of the family home as the former This Morning presenter opened up about living alone.
The presenter, 65, and her TV chef husband, 61, announced in January 2020 that they were separating after 20 years of marriage.
Taking to Twitter today, Fern penned: “After 36 years of shared living I finally waved au revoir to my youngest as she flew the nest. First week of solo living completed.
“Yes there were moments of ‘it’s so quiet’ to ‘Its so quiet’. Overall not to be feared.”
Fern and her youngest child Winnie, who is the daughter of Phil, resided in Cornwall, with the TV chef, who lives in Buckinghamshire admittedly having to travel 270 miles to see her.
Social media users flocked to comment on the post as they offered their support to the presenter.
Mr Neale tweeted: “It’s a tough one and all part of them growing up and becoming independent, but it certainly pulls on your hearts strings! I’m sure in time you will adjust and every visit will be cherished. Take care, enjoy your ‘me time’….”
Carolyn commented: “It’s a strange feeling, but mostly feeling like you’ve done a great job! I hope you’re okay.”
Olivia penned: “Going that way for me to Fern. Son graduates July from uni. I have no one from Sunday to Thursday night. I love it then the house turns into a student house. I love the peace from Sunday to Thursday.”

Fern has four children, twins Jack and Harry, 29, and Grace, 26, who she shares with her first husband, Clive Jones, who she was married to between 1988 and 1998.
She married for a second time tying the knot with Phil in 2000 but the pair called it quits after two decades of marriage.
Speaking of the split from her TV chef husband, Fern told the Loose Women: “My marriage coming to the end of the road is very sad. But we are working it all out.
“My life did go upside down, not just unfortunately with my marriage going wrong.
“My mum died three years ago, and my dad died two years ago this Christmas. He died on December 22.
“So, I am having to… I think after 30 years of being married but to two different men, 33 years altogether.
“Wonderful men I have to say. Wonderful, interesting, and clever men. I am having to do a lot on my own. Make my own decisions and so.”
Fern recently celebrated her new life by the coast in the show My Cornwall With Fern Britton.
