Fearne Cotton has admitted to having a "weird burst of fun" after her shock split with Jesse Wood. The mum-of-two, 43, stunned fans when she announced that she and the son of Rolling Stones star, Ronnie Wood, 48, had called it quits after 10 years of marriage.
Fearne has been going through a tough time, after also revealing she was undergoing surgery after discovering two tumours on her jawline. However, now, she says she's beginning to enjoy life, a little bit, in a candid admission on her podcast. Speaking to comedian Joanne McNally on Happy Palace, she said: "I'm having a little weird um burst of fun. I don't know why, it's come out of nowhere. It's like, oh I just want to go and get a bit p***ed and have some fun. I'm coming out of it a bit, I think it's all phases, but I I totally understand that sort of hyper independence. I think I've had that for so long maybe because I started work young.".
Despite her recent "burst of fun", Fearne admitted she'd been using 'unhealthy' coping mechanisms because she 'doesn't trust' people, continuing: "Sometimes I don't trust that people are going to do what I need or support me in the right way. So I'm like 'no I'm doing everything on my own,' which is not great, but I but I know I can rely on myself. So I sort of stick to that and I know that that's not great, but it's just a coping mechanism I guess.".
Jesse is yet to speak out on his split with Fearne, but the former kids TV star announced their breakup on Instagram, posting: "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.".
