Just days after her ex-husband Jesse Wood went public with his new relationship with reality TV star Gemma Gregory, Fearne Cotton has flipped the script in a jaw-dropping twist thatâs sent shockwaves through the entertainment world.Â

The beloved TV presenter and author, 43, revealed she had seen Jesse â who was still her husband at the time â with another woman on the very same day she received a devastating diagnosis from her doctor about a tumour in her jaw.Â

âIâll never forget that day,â Fearne reportedly told a close friend. âI had just come from the doctorâs office when I saw him. It broke something inside me â not just because of what I saw, but because of the timing. It was the day everything changed.â
Her emotional revelation comes after Jesse, 48 â son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood â confirmed his romance with Gemma Gregory, 39, a former actress known for her roles in Popcorn, Gypsy Girl, and the BBCâs adaptation of Great Expectations. Gemma, who also once appeared on Made in Chelsea, has since launched her own fashion brand, Recovered by GG, and recently shared a loved-up photo with Jesse on Instagram, captioned: âBloody love this one .â
The public post came less than a year after Fearne and Jesse announced their split in December, following more than a decade together. The couple married in 2014 and share two children â Rex, 11, and Honey, 8.
Fans have flooded social media with support for Fearne, praising her courage for speaking out and reclaiming her narrative after what many are calling a âsilent heartbreak.â
âSeeing him with someone else right when she was battling her own health fears â thatâs unimaginable,â one fan wrote. âFearne deserves the world for how gracefully sheâs handled all this.â
Earlier this week, Fearne appeared on Lorraine to speak publicly about the marriage breakdown for the first time, calling the separation âvery amicableâ and assuring fans that âthe kids are doing great.â
But behind that calm exterior lies a story of quiet pain, strength, and stunning comeback â one thatâs now captured headlines and hearts alike.
