Sorry may have already been done but FERN is quitting This Morning.

[Fimbo]

Aww. She would be a fine mate.

Oh yes, I use to time dd's feeds around This Morning.

I wonder what the real reason is?

Fern seems to be spreading herself everywhere these days, she was even on question time last week so I doubt its to spend more time with her family. She has it easy enough, they only work Mon - Thurs and its not really early starts like GMTV.

I think its the gastric band thing.

did I miss something about an affair and a revenge make over? is it fall out from that?

But surely all the gastric band is all and done with now?

I heard Jordan was angling for the job.

Mind you are programmes like This Morning continuing? I thought ITV were getting rid of a lot of stuff. If they get rid of TM and keep Jeremy effing Kyle I will truly be down to Southbank.

OOh Dizzy what affair??

Oh no. I love Fern.

I would never watch again if it was Phillip (he is okay) with

Fiona Phillips
Ruth Langsford
Claudia Winkleman

Actually I can't think of anyone who could replace Fern.

I do love Claudia but not sure she'd be good on This Morning, plus she's probably tied into the BBC. Not sure who I would want to replace Fern actually.

I have emailed to say please don't leave and sent them here so we can help find her replacement if she really is leaving.

so sad i love fern

eek what if they replace her with Carla Romano or Alison Hammond

what about Fern Cotton or Natasha Kaplinsky

ALison - yes
Fern C - if they have too
Natasha - please God, no
Carla - no way

No, Compo no. Nor Terri Dwyer or Claire Sweeny.

It'll be Ulrika watch this space (oh the irony after John Leslie).

I can't think of anyone I'd really like to replace her either, I don't like Ruth (she reminds me of Julian Clary for some reason) I'd hate for it to be any of the Loose women - particularly Colleen Nolan!

I wonder if they'll just do guest presenters for a while and judge the feedback, tricky decision for them though.

Sian Lloyd....................... pmsl

I would never watch again if it was Terri "no one else as ever had a baby and a job before and I won't let the baby take over my life" Dwyer

Coleen did it before for a while with Twiggy and both were crappola.

Fern I love you so, please don't go.

Do you think we should go over here and stage a protest.

What about the girl on the one show?

(Isn't she having an affair with Adrian Chiles? DH said she is}

Supposedly BTM but who knows?

I don't watch anymore sadly. I have to go out to work! But I will defo be Sky+ing the last one. That will be one hilarious best bits montage!
