Fern Britton signs up for new TV show
Television presenter Fern Britton has signed up to host a new show on BBC One.
The four-part series, which will see Britton conduct in-depth interviews with high-profile figures, will be called 'Fern Britton Meets...' and will explore faith and beliefs.
Guests confirmed for the series include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dolly Parton, Sheila Hancock and Tony Blair.
Britton said: "All the interviewees come from very different backgrounds but what binds them together is the fact that, although their faith has been challenged, they've emerged with strong spiritual beliefs."
Commissioning editor Aaqil Ahmed added: "'Fern Britton Meets...' is a welcome addition as it offers a unique opportunity to see how faith has transformed the lives of some really inspiring people from all fields of endeavour."
