Phil Vickery has been spotted with his ex-wife Fern Britton's pal Lorraine Stanton a year after kissing pics emerged.

The TV chef was at the Southport Flower Show with Lorraine as they enjoyed the sun together. The meeting comes a year after the pair were spotted kissing in London but went on to deny romance rumours.

They have been said to have spent the sunny day together while Phil was booked for a cooking performance and Lorraine watched on.

Despite being spotted sitting together and ordering a drink, they refrain from any public displays of affection which could be be misinterpreted like they said the September kissing pics were.

A source told the Daily Mail: "When Phil had finished, they went for a coffee and then for a beer."

The kissing photos emerged after Phil and Fern announced their split after more then 20 years together. Meanwhile, Lorraine admitted that she had moved out of her marital home last year but insisted "it was nothing to do with the incident over the pictures".

Fern also dismissed any romance between the pair saying it was "not true". However, it was also reported at the time that she was "heartbroken and dumbstruck" after seeing her ex-husband and best friend close.

At the time a source said: "Fern finds the situation weird and awkward and has learned that Lorraine is clearly not a great mate. She's shocked and is struggling to process her mixed emotions. On the one hand she had felt like she'd moved on from Phil but she hadn't expected this new romance and it's been hard to see.'"

Phil and Fern announced their split in January 2020 by posting a statement on social media, which said: "After more than 20 happy years together, Phil and I have decided to go our separate ways. We will always share a great friendship and our lovely children. We would appreciate it if our privacy is respected at this time. Thank you for your continued kindness and support."

The pair share one daughter, Winnie, while Fern also has twins Jack and Harry, and daughter Grace, who she shares with ex-husband Clive Jones.
