‘So sorry’ Fern Britton issues apology to viewers as they spot Watercolour Challenge error | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Fern Britton is currently presenting the Watercolour Challenge reboot after the former Channel 4 programme was revived by Channel 5 last year. The fifth season kicked off on Monday, but eagle-eyed fans noticed a slight error made by producers during the first episode.
While the episode was said to have been filmed in Yorkshire, Fern had actually been taping the show from Devon.
The former This Morning presenter hopped onto her official Twitter to apologise for the confusion.
“Dear All, an apology!” she said.
“#WatercolourChallenge was supposed to be in #Yorkshire this week but as many of you have pointed out, it’s coming from #Devon!

“We are so sorry to have got them mixed up.
“#YORKSHIRE episodes are starting next week.”
It appears the episodes are not airing in the chronological order in which they were taped, which caused a mishap with the show’s editors.
Fans reacted to Fern’s tweet in the comments section, saying they didn’t take issue with the location error, while others expressed their joy to see the show return 21 years after its last run on Channel 4.
After Lorraine praised her former ITV colleague for “always bouncing back”, Fern replied: “Well, I think you have to look as if you’ve bounced back, that’s for sure.”
“But, you know, it’s coming back.”
Following her split with Phil, Fern moved out of the family home in Buckinghamshire and relocated to Cornwall as she embarked on a new life as a single mum of four.
Watercolour Challenge airs weekdays at 4pm on Channel 5.
