Britton announced the break-up of her marriage one month after the death of her father, Don’t Wait Up actor Tony Britton, in December 2019. During an appearance on James Martin’s Saturday Kitchen this weekend, Britton celebrated finally being “her own boss” of all her life decisions now she’s a single woman.
“I can sit down in the morning and watch all the daytime television I like. No one’s going to judge me for it, I don’t have to get dressed up and made up,” she said. “I am my own boss now, which is great, in every sense, my life, my work, everything. I’m my own boss and I’m enjoying that’.
Last month, Britton opened up about her dating life on Morning Live, saying: “When you were younger, everything was fun. It was proper stuff - now it’s all swiping, and I hate it, and I’m not going to do that.”. She added: “It was such a fun time going to parties, and you were excited to meet strangers. I don’t want to meet strangers anymore, I don’t want to be invited to huge parties.”.
