Fearne Cotton has left her fans in shock with the announcement of her split from husband Jesse Wood. The news comes just days after she underwent surgery to remove tumours.
In an Instagram Stories post, the presenter shared: "It is with a heavy heart that | let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time."
Fearne and Jesse exchanged vows in a charming ceremony surrounded by loved ones in 2014. The star recently admitted that the lockdown period was a challenging time for them.
The couple share two children, Rex and Honey, while Jesse also has two older children, Arthur and Lola, from a previous relationship. Earlier this month, Fearne, who hosts a podcast and presents on TV, revealed that she had a benign tumour in her jaw.
She shared a video on Instagram, saying: "I've got a benign tumour just in my jaw here, below my ear, another little tiny one above it. I'm very grateful they're benign but they do need to come out because they're on a nerve.", reports the Mirror.
