Fern Britton: The Older I Get

A broadcasting legend and national treasure, Fern Britton has been on our screens for more than 40 years and won numerous TV awards – she was a presenter on Ready Steady Cook and on This Morning from 1999 - 2009. Since then, Fern has discovered the joy of writing novels and is a highly acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling author, with 10 fiction books and a memoir to her name. Fern’s books are cherished for their warmth, wit and wisdom and have won her legions of fans.

Fern had recently entered her 60s when a series of life-altering events threw her into the eye of the storm. Both her parents passed away, her 20-year marriage ended, and the pandemic was looming. Faced with an uncertain future, Fern decided that if she wanted to start over, now was the time. She moved to Cornwall, where she reconnected with her true self and instead of fearing getting older, she chose to create a glorious new life full of friendship, fun and adventure. Fern explores the joy and challenges of aging with warmth and humour. She reflects back on all she has learnt, from enduring tough times to embracing new opportunities and learning how to be kinder to herself.

In The Older I Get, join Fern as she candidly shares her experiences of grief and loss, rebuilding confidence and exploring new passions, as well as the importance of finding friends you can put the world to rights with over a couple of Cosmos.
