Fern Britton ignored Phillip Schofield's tell all interview in her first post since the BBC broadcast.
Mr Schofield stepped away from ITV last week after he admitted to having an affair with a colleague. He opened up about the relationship in an interview with Amol Rajan.
The 61-year-old denied accusations he groomed the young man and issued an apology to anyone impacted by his actions. He said: "I would say to everyone, to my family, my friends, my work colleagues, the public, to ITV, my management company, to everyone that I lied to, that I am desperately sorry."

Mr Schofield co-hosted This Morning with Fern until 2009 when she surprisingly quit the show. Mr Schofield initially stepped aside from This Morning amid reports an alleged feud with Holly Willoughby had reached fever pitch.
Fern faced similar reports when she exited and fans claimed she aimed a dig at Mr Schofield in a post shared last week. "Unexpected calls from old mates are so lovely. Just had the loveliest catch up with @EamonnHolmes . I think we have known each other since the 80’s when we were babies. Shooting the breeze."
Eamonn Holmes has repeatedly called out Mr Schofield in public and fans claimed her post was a reference to the ongoing drama around This Morning. @AyeRight said: "Best subtweet ever!"
Pablo added: "Discussing previous colleagues??" Yvonne said: "And the Philip Schofield debacle I imagine...?"
@Socialismislove posted: "Oh I see what you’re doing there" Claire tweeted: "Absolutely no shade meant by this tweet right?"
Fern has taken to Twitter once again this morning but has ignored the ongoing situation entirely. While many were reacting to Mr Schofield's interview, Fern said she was catching up with the final episode of Apple TV's Ted Lasso.
She said: "Just watched the final #TedLasso with cuppa in bed . Tears rolling down my face but such a smile in my heart. What a show what a cast what a story."
Fern has previously spoken about her This Morning exit. She told the The Ray D’Arcy Show in 2020: "I began not to enjoy it so much and the morning I resigned, I didn’t know I was going to resign.
"Something happened and I thought, “That’s it really” and I walked away and resigned. I was treated pretty poorly, actually. And after a while I just thought, “Sod it”’.
She added: "There was also a persistent rumour that I left because Phillip was being paid more than me and I always say to people, “Why would I leave a show to go to nothing if I was worried about money?”’
