Fern Britton talks to Radio Times magazine

Radio Times magazine subscription holders can read an interview with TV presenter Fern Britton.

If you've got a Radio Times magazine subscription, you can read an exclusive interview with Fern Britton, in which she opens up about her battle with depression.

The former This Morning presenter told the publication she sometimes wishes she could "vanish" when she feels particularly low.

Fern, who is soon to launch a new show on Channel 4, said at the moment, she is "completely under control".

The 53-year-old told Radio Times magazine: "I take a small dose [of antidepressants] every day and have done for more than five years. To me it's like a diabetic taking insulin - it tops up my brain and it works."

Recently, Fern said she believes TV presenters do have a shelf-life in this country.

Speaking after former Countryfile presenter Miriam O'Reilly won a tribunal against the BBC for "ageism", the host said: "Sometimes there's a natural end to anyone's career ... and you have to be very gracious when you accept it's coming because we are all freelancers, we are not in a job for life."
