TV star Fern Britton previously revealed she burst into tears after a doctor gave their verdict on her ‘agonising’ health battle.
The telly fave has been a regular on screens for several decades. Since shooting to fame in the 1980s, Fern – who is on Fern Britton: Inside the Vet’s today (September 7) – has appeared on everything from This Morning to even Celebrity Big Brother.
However, a few years back, Fern ended up seriously injuring her shoulder, leaving her “in agony” for more than 12 months. But when she went and paid the doctor a visit, what he said to Fern left her in tears.

Fern Britton in ‘agony for over a year’
In her 2024 book, The Older I Get… How I Repowered My Life, Fern opened up about a difficult period in her life that saw her suffer a lengthy battle with a serious injury.
Revealing what happened, Fern said: “I opened the bin lid and thrust the bag forward. But instead of a sense of childish achievement I felt an immediate searing pain.
“Instantly, I knew I’d done something serious. For over a year I was in agony and it was at the time when you really couldn’t see a doctor.”
