The 34-year-old recently told Glamour: “A few years ago I hit a very dark patch and lost sight of it ever passing.

“I was drowning in it all rather than reassuring myself that those feelings would soon pass.”

Fearne was previously engaged to Jesse Jenkins in 2010, but the pair split nine months later.

“That felt pretty crap. It was around the time of the Royal wedding so there was this big thing about marriage everywhere, but my life was the opposite of that,” Fearne explained in a previous interview with Cosmopolitan.

However, Fearne is now happily married to Jesse Wood, son of Rolling Stone’s Ronnie Wood, and they have two children together, two year old son Rex and six-month old daughter Honey.
