She has not retaliated against Phil like her friend Eamonn, who in recent weeks has been very vocal about his dislike for Phillip.
Fern said: “I just watched #TedLasso’s final episode with my cuppa, in bed. There were tears streaming down my face, but I had a big smile on my heart. What a play what a cast and what a story [heart emojis].”
Fern said last week she’d been in contact with Phillips’ other rival, former This Morning host Eamonn.
From 2006 until 2021, the Northern Irishman appeared on ITV’s show with his wife Ruth Langsford.

“Just had the loveliest catch up with @EamonnHolmes.
“I think we have known each other since the 80’s when we were babies (crying laughing emoji). Shooting the breeze (three red love heart emojis).”
After Central Recorder exposed the feud between Phillip Willoughby, 61 and Holly Willoughby, his co-host, she sent a timely tweet.
And her followers were thrilled with her Twitter update, with one quipping: “Did you have a nice chat? Bet you’re both cackling over Phillip.”
“Mmmm wonder what hot topic of conversation you giggled and snorted about,” another mused.

Fern also said something similar at the same time and referred to Phil and Holly’s frequent trips with their families to Bardbados.
She saidMailOnline“I’ve always said that Phillip and me had an undefinable, indescribable chemistry onscreen. We “got” each other.
We had a good laugh. The viewers were receptive to this. But, like Morecambe and Wise, we chose not to live in each other’s pockets. Although we had an excellent professional partnership, we did not go on vacation together.
