Fern Britton has shared her thoughts on Prince William and Harry's 'feud' during a chat on Celebrity Big Brother tonight.

During a chat on Celebrity Big Brother tonight, Fern spoke with Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith about Prince William and Prince Harry's 'feud' amid claims the brothers barely speak. Speaking on tonight's episode, Fern shared her thoughts: "My feeling is that William must be furious to suddenly have the weight of it all on his head and his shoulders. He could have shared it."

Gary then added: "I think he's done an amazing job, certainly in that horrible situation. He [William] always seems like he's had an olive branch open every time for Harry to come back and be part of the gang. I desperately feel like that's the case, it's difficult..."

Fern explained that she felt it must be hard for King Charles to see his sons seemingly so divided, as she added: "For a father to see two beloved sons waring that way is heartbreaking."

Prince William is believed to be shutting out his brother Prince Harry from succession talks as William is 'adamant' that the Duke of Sussex can not support the royal family. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, royal expert and author Tom Quinn said: "As a non working royal Harry is also no longer a counsellor of state and he is not being kept in the loop because there is zero chance he will be asked to help out. William is adamant that he does not want Harry involved in any aspect of succession discussions or in planning for counsellors of state to help out if and when it becomes necessary. And as the next in line what William wants William gets."

Elsewhere, Gary asked Fern about her former colleague Phillip Schofield, who admitted to an unwise but not illegal affair with a younger male colleague. Fern then said: "Genuinely I haven’t been there for 15 years. I got off the train and its way over the horizon so I honestly don’t know. Anything I do say would be supposition."

He then asked Fern what it had been like working on the show alongside Phil, as she admitted: "It was tricky at times. It is an institution that like the monarchy it rocks. I think Ben and Cat will do a great job. It’s a new era."

Gary mentioned there had been rumours Phil was coming on the show, to which she replied: "Oh, well. That didn’t happen yet. Maybe that will happen as a surprise? I might have to leave at that point!"
