 Fern Britton has made it clear that she's still not had any contact with former This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield. At the end of May long-time ITV star Schofield, 62, resigned from the broadcaster after admitting to an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a much younger colleague. The revelations came as former This Morning hosts, employees and guests spoke about their experience with the 'toxic environment' on set, with many taking aim at Schofield himself. It's not been any secret that he and Fern, who previously hosted the show together from 2002 until 2009, had a massive falling out. But despite the recent events, Fern, 65, has now revealed that her and Schofield haven't spoken at all. 'We were involved in the show and mates at the time, but we don't really [speak anymore],' she told Good Housekeeping. The pair presented This Morning together from 2002 until 2009 (Picture: Rex) She added: 'My time at This Morning was marvellous and I adored the 10 years I was there.' 'I feel you should never look back. I don't think I'd be able to turn the clock back; it wouldn't work that way.' Presenting the programme alongside Phillip for eight years, Fern left abruptly in 2009 and it was later revealed there had been some tension brewing between the two for some time. Schofield and co-host Holly Willoughby also reportedly fell out (Picture: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock) In his biography, Life is What You Make It, Phillip claimed their fallout had stemmed from an argument over the content of a This Morning episode. He wrote that 'for whatever reason', that was 'the point' where Fern decided she didn't want to work on the show any longer. Around the same time, Fern revealed that she left after being 'treated pretty poorly'. Schofield left This Morning and ITV after admitting to lying about an affair (Picture: BBC) 'Something happened and I thought, 'That's it really'){kind=link}
