Anyone who has tried to get back out there after splitting from a long-term partner will understand what Fern Britton is going through right now. And the pandemic, which has seen us all in lockdown for months, can’t have made things easier.
The TV presenter-turned-author, 63, always appeared to remain positive after separating from husband Phil Vickery in January last year – and recently was even spotted flirting on social media, seemingly telling the world she’s ready to move on.
But, like the rest of us, Fern has days when she’s not feeling as bright, and she’s doing everything she can to keep her head up and focus on the future.
Positive vibes
Fern regularly engages with her fans on social media and appears to use her own experiences to offer advice to those in need – reflecting on the sadness and heartbreak she’s suffered over the years.
‘LIFE IS WORTH LIVING'
Replying to a follower in a recent post, Fern wrote, ‘Life is worth living. I promise. There are times when each of us would like the whole damn noise to stop, but there is joy to be had. Just put your head to the wind and keep putting one foot in front of another. Sunnier days will come.’
