Fern predicted that new hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley will do a good job as Gary said he felt the show had lost its way since it began using a cast of revolving hosts following Phillip Schofield’s exit last year.

He then said he’d heard a rumour Phillip was meant to be part of CBB.

Fern responded: “Maybe he’s coming in as a surprise… I might have to leave at that point [laughs]. Yep.”

Long-serving host Phillip ended his partnership with ITV last year after admitting to an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a younger male colleague.

Fern, 66, famously fell out with Phillip when she left This Morning in 2009 and was replaced by Holly Willoughby.

Prior to entering the house, it was reported that Fern would reveal all about the fall-out.

She said: “Apparently I’ve signed up to spill the beans! Well, right now, I can tell you that I think let’s approach with caution and kindness.

“It’s fair to say that towards the end we were not getting on. Things were tricky.”

Fern insisted her views on Schofe’s affair scandal would be “not terribly interesting”.

She told the Mirror: “There are some things that I think as a collective almost nation, there are things you can’t and wouldn’t want to hear or see or be talked about.

“I haven’t been on that show for 15 years. I don’t know anything that’s been going on since then. And so it would be A, very old views. B, not terribly interesting, but I did love This Morning. I absolutely loved it. I wasn’t expecting to resign on the day I resigned.”

Fern first stepped onto the This Morning set in 1993, when she was drafted in as a guest host.

In 1999, she was given the job full-time and began her stint alongside John Leslie. Phillip took over from him in 2002.

Fern quit the show in 2009 amid reports of tension between her and Phil.

Four years later he told Heat magazine: “We were involved in the show and mates at the time, but we don’t really… we’re not in touch now.”
