The 66-year-old star recently appeared on the sofa as a guest but now says she has been approached to do some films for the ITV daytime show.
Fern said of her guest appearance: "When my interview finished and I left the studio, I was approached by a production team [member] who said, 'Would you like to do some little films with us?'

“That conversation is yet to be had but those little four-minute films now and again? Perfect. Interviews would be the dream.
"I'd quite like to do something with politics. I'm not interested in party politics but politicians, and where the minds of those characters that we vote for are at.
"I don't mind what party they're up for, as long as they're speaking truly to the country to understand what's going on in the world, what a f***-up leaving Europe was and how they're desperately trying to cover up the terrible things that are happening because of that."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
