This Morning icon Fern Britton gave a sweet four-word verdict on Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard hosting the ITV show as she returned to the sofa.
The legendary host, who presented the show from 1999 to 2009, made an appearance to discuss her time on Celebrity Big Brother, but at the end of the interview, Fern couldn’t resist praising Cat and Ben after they were announced as full-time presenters to replace Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Fern said: “15 years since I was last on [this] programme. And, well done you two,” as Cat and Ben thanked her for her kind words she said about them in the CBB house.
The icon then leaned over to give them both a kiss on the cheek and invited them to come and stay at her home in Cornwall with her chosen CBB co-stars.
This came after she took a cheeky swipe at Ben towards the end of the chat as she was recalling her hitting her head on a sofa while playing a hilarious game on the show.
Fern said: “The medic came out and said ‘it’s blunt force trauma so you will feel a bit funny’…” before tailing off as she caught the look in Ben’s eyes.
She quickly said: “You look like you’re wrapping up so I will just tell you very quickly,” as Ben joked: “You know those eyes,” as Fern smiled and replied: “I do.”
Fern then continued about her medical episode as she said: “The medic also said, as I had to have a shower because I had to get ready because it was eviction night, to just have someone in the bathroom with me in case I have an issue.
“And who came in with me? David! He sat on the sofa while I was having a shower and was going, ‘you alright Ferny?’ He is the most adorable man.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1.
