FERN Britton has become the hightest paid woman on TV with a £500,000 salary for a three-day week.
If you feel the sums don't add up, think again.
Apart from being deceptively professional on ITV's This Morning, she has proved that you don't have to be stick thin to be a success, that being nice is fine and that there's nothing wrong with laughing until you're apoplectic.
For all that, she's worth the money .... and more.
