Presenter Fern Britton has hit out at ITV shows This Morning and Loose Women for their “embarrassing” begging for votes for the National Television Awards. Fern, 64, was a regular face on This Morning between 1999 and 2009 and used to host with current presenter Philip Schofield. Chatting to Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast, Fern said: “The very important thing, as you know as well, to be a real presenter, in terms of that kind of show — Loose Women, This Morning, those kinds of shows — you are not the star.” The TV favourite went on: “The person, the story, is the star.

ITV's This Morning had threatened her with the sack if she didn't return to work shortly after giving birth. At the time, Fern was the Friday host of the ITV show alongside John Leslie, but following Judy Finnigan's and Richard Madeley's departure, she had been promoted to the main presenter role, shortly after negotiating her return to work.The 64-year-old spoke candidly on the White Wine Question Time podcast hosted by Kate Thornton today.Fern said that an unnamed male producer told her to return to her presenting role two weeks after giving birth "or there's no job for you".She said that as a mother-of-four the presenter told managers at ITV that at the age of 44 she couldn't just "turn up" so soon after having a baby.The small-screen star claimed that she was told by one male producer "my wife was driving after two weeks" and warned that if she didn't show up she would not have a job anymore.Fern's then-husband Phil Vickery, and father to their daughter Winnie, was also working at ITV as a chef.Speaking on the podcast, Fern said: "It was when Richard and Judy had left, I was pregnant, she [Winnie] was due in September and the show went off air as it used to for the summer and then my boss said 'well you've got to come back.'"I said 'well she's going to be born in September and you go on air in September.
