Former British breakfast TV host Fern Britton was forced to apologise to fans for a social media blunder she made on Thursday, February 23.
Taking to Twitter, the 65-year-old excitedly announced to fans that her upcoming book had a release date.
“Good morning all! The paperback of #TheGoodServant is out a week today!!!” the former Ready Steady Cook presenter wrote.
“Ready for Mother’s Day and Easter 😉 And I see that on Amazon the Hardback edition is £1 cheaper than the paperback will be so … fyi 😘”

However, around an hour later, Fern, who presented ITV’s This Morning programme from 1999 to 2009, revealed she had made a huge error and apologised to fans.
“ERROR!!! apologies,” the British author said.
“It is published on June 8 not next week 🫤 BUT I can reveal the cover next week. I was suffering from excitement interruptus 😂”
