Holding hands in the garden of their beautiful family home, Fearne Cotton and Jesse Wood gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes as they posed in their wedding outfits. The happy photo was posted on the Radio 2 DJ’s Instagram page just five months ago in celebration of the couple’s tenth wedding anniversary. ‘Wish we could do it all again,’ Fearne, 43, wrote, wistfully.

If there was any hint of marital trouble, it was carefully constructed not to show it. Which is why the revelation on Friday that Fearne and 48-year-old Jesse – the son of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and the legendary rock ’n’ roll groupie Krissy Findlay – have split has come as rather a shock.

Just two days ago, after all, Fearne was still wearing her wedding ring in photographs uploaded to social media. And the split seems to have blindsided not just their fans, but those who knew the pair, too. ‘It’s with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,’ Fearne told her 3.9 million followers on Instagram. ‘Our priority has been, and will always be, our children.’.

Living in a six-bedroom Victorian property in Richmond, Surrey, the couple juggled the needs of their children – Rex, 11, and Honey, nine - with regular visits from Jesse’s two children Arthur, 22, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage to model and producer Tilly Wood.
