    9.5 Superb
    A fabulous role model to have on TV hide show

    Fern Britton was fabulous on Ready Steady Cook and I think that she was so good because you felt like you were learning about the food with her. Nowadays she is the queen of daytime television. The crown is seriously well deserved and with her co-host Phillip Schofield, they brighten up 'This Morning'. As for people who get on her back because of her size. Hello! She's married to a top chef!
