Fern Britton: 'No row with Schofield'

Rex Features

Fern Britton has again rejected reports that she has had a falling out with her soon to be ex-This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.

It was previously announced that Britton will step down from the job and she has already denied suggestions of a rift between her and Schofield.

She told TV Times: "Is it right that Phillip and I have had a row and that I'm cross I'm not getting paid as much as he is? No. None of that is the actual truth.

"The next thing will be a comparison between me and the goddess who replaces me on This Morning. But that's fine. I couldn't care less but it annoys me to be used as fodder."

She added: "I want my successor to have a great time - the moment's right for someone else to have a go.

"But the thing is, no-one believes that you would willingly relinquish a job because in telly you only get sacked and booted out."

Holly Willoughby has been hotly tipped to replace Britton when she leaves the ITV1 programme later this month.
