Just that really. I really thought they had a great marriage and so sorry to hear they have split after 20 years. They got married the same time as me and I've always had an interest in them . I suppose no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I wish them and their family all the best at this tough time.

I've never heard of Phil Vickery and am not sure I could pick Fern Britton out of a line up.

I'm really sad to hear this too, I think they both seem like lovely people.

Yeah I liked the both of them.
I have never ever watched This Morning since she left. Well I only watched it on my one day off during the week.

Worked with them quite a few times. He was always the friendlier and more affable out of the two of them.

So sad, they both come across so genuine. I loved their chemistry. Hopefully they're both ok, the media never give celebrities a break so I doubt they'll get much privacy.

Crikey... I thought they’d split up some time ago! Clearly I was wrong.

I genuinely thought they split years ago, around the time she left This Morning.

yes, sometimes even if you don't know people, you 'like' them as they seem to be decent folk, it's very sad, Fern's father died recently so I imagine they have both had a lot of upset in their lives, I wish them both well

Oh that’s a shame I always thought they were happy too.

I never thought they were very together in the first place tbh. I remember thinking he wasn't very supportive of her when she left this morning, and she also said in the past that they did their own thing and she didn't question him.

I felt sad when I heard too.

20 years is a long time for it to end up like this. Nonsense, I know as marriages can fall apart at any time. But I have been married for almost 25 years and the thought of separating now seems more awful than had we been married a short time.

This must be the news that vile thread the other day was alluding to.

Such a shame, I thought they were always good together.
