FERN BRITTON GOES INSIDE THE VETS FOR NEW ITV DAYTIME SERIES

Former This Morning presenter Fern Britton is returning to ITV Daytime with a new series produced by Love Monday TV, Fern Britton: Inside The Vets.

The six-episode series, which will air on ITV1 and ITVX, follows the work of vets, the animal patients and their owners. TV vet James Greenwood will take Fern Britton though the range of treatments that The Grove offer include vaccinations, spays and dentistry, as well as surgery and critical care.

Fern Britton said: "Every pet has their story and every owner has theirs, so I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of this new series for ITV. Animals have always been a huge love of mine and getting a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work the veterinary team does every day has been a privilege...

"Handing your pet over to the vet for any procedure is a worrying time. This series gives us a glimpse of what happens beyond the consulting room door, and is full of heart, fascinating stories, and, of course, plenty of adorable animals—I can’t wait to share it with viewers!"

Leanne Clarke, Assistant Commissioner Daytime & Entertainment ITV said: "We are thrilled to be working on this most heartwarming of series with Love Monday. Fern Britton: Inside the Vet’s is the perfect tonic for animal lovers everywhere, chronicling the ups and downs of our favourite furry friends under the watchful eyes of Fern Britton."

Kerene Barefield, Creative Director Love Monday TV added: "I’m really excited to be working with ITV and Petplan to bring Fern Britton: Inside the Vet’s to ITV Daytime. Fern’s warmth and curiosity make her the perfect host to explore the incredible work of veterinary professionals. This is Love Monday’s move into AFP and partnering with Petplan on this series has allowed us to tell the story of veterinary care in a way that feels both authentic and informative."

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
