Fearne Cotton declares she's happiest post-split and surgery

Fearne Cotton has expressed that she is currently the happiest she has ever been after her split from ex-husband Jesse Wood. The TV presenter and radio host announced their separation in December after a decade of marriage. Fearne, 43, has moved on from the relationship and is now dating TV director Elliot Hegarty. The couple was recently spotted sharing a kiss during a night out. This new chapter in Fearne’s life comes after a difficult period that included surgery to remove two benign tumors from her jawline. In a recent interview on BBC Radio 2 with Scott Mills, Fearne spoke about her newfound happiness. She described waking up ready for life every day and feeling grateful, especially after her health scare. She emphasized the importance of checking any lumps or bumps, as she was surprised to find out that her tumor was serious. Fearne shared that her friendship with Davina McCall has been comforting, as both went through similar health challenges recently. She stated that overcoming such health issues has changed her perspective on life. Now, she is eager for new experiences, fun, and spending time with friends. While Fearne has moved on, Jesse, 48, has also started a new relationship with actress Gemma Gregory. Fearne and Jesse share two children, Rex and Honey, and she is also a stepmother to Jesse's two older children. The couple faced challenges in their marriage for several years, and Fearne has admitted to feeling a need for more enjoyment in her life as she embraces this new phase.
