Fern Britton admits she'd quit Celebrity Big Brother if Phillip Schofield enters

We may only be four days in to the rebooted series of Celebrity Big Brother, but this year's series is SERVING, mainly thanks to this year's housemates asking the all-important questions to each other.

Whilst Louis Walsh has been opening up about the likes of Simon Cowell, Cheryl Tweedy and Britney Spears, Fern Britton has been quizzing Gary Goldsmith about the Royal Family, and Ekin-Su went straight in asking "Where's Kate."

But during a conversation between Fern and Gary which aired during last night's show (6th March), 66-year-old Fern addressed rumours that her former colleague Phillip Schofield was due to enter the house.

Fern co-hosted This Morning alongside Phillip for seven years in the early noughties, and whilst they had a good relationship to begin with, things turned sour between the two, which resulted in Fern shockingly quitting the show.

Although both Fern and Phillip have remained somewhat silent on their apparent feud, it seems there's still bad vibes between the two, with the former presenter admitting she'd would quit the show if Philip was to enter the house.

When Gary asked if Fern had any inside knowledge on Phillip's recent controversial exit from This Morning, she said: “Genuinely I haven’t been there for 15 years. I got off the train and its way over the horizon so I honestly don’t know. Anything I do say would be supposition.”

Speaking about her time on the show, she added: “It was tricky at times. It is an institution that like the monarchy it rocks. I think Ben and Cat will do a great job. It’s a new era.”

When Gary revealed that Phillip was rumoured for this year's CBB, Fern added: "Oh, well. That didn’t happen yet. Maybe that will happen as a surprise? I might have to leave at that point!”

Check out the all of this year's CBB housemates:

Wednesday night's episode also saw a number of housemates put on a musical performance for Louis, whilst Big Brother tasked the house with a day at the races for the latest task.

House guest Sharon Osbourne also chatted with Gary, David and Zeze to find out more about them before making her killer nomination. At the end of the show, Sharon revealed she'd chosen to put David up for eviction.

The rest of the housemates will vote on Thursday night's show.

Celebrity Big Brother airs every Sunday-Friday at 9pm on ITV/STV.
