TV presenter and podcast host Fearne Cotton has announced that she and husband Jesse Wood have separated following 10 years of marriage.
In a post to her Instagram story on Friday, she said: “It is with a heavy heart that I 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.”
Cotton, 43, married Wood, the son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, in July 2014 at Richmond Register Office in south-west London after announcing their engagement in 2013.
The couple, who have a son, Rex, and daughter, Honey, together met in Ibiza in 2011.
Wood, 48, has two children, Arthur and Lola, from a previous relationship.
Earlier in the month, Cotton announced she was undergoing an operation to remove two benign tumours from her jaw and would be resting after “to get better before Christmas”.
A benign tumour is a mass of cells that are non-cancerous, tend to stay in one place and can be safely removed during surgery.
Cotton began her career in the late-1990s presenting children’s television shows for GMTV, CITV and CBBC.
She has also hosted The Xtra Factor and Top Of The Pops, and was a panellist on ITV’s Celebrity Juice.
In 2007, she became the first regular female presenter of the Radio 1 Chart Show, going on to present her own weekday 10am show on the station from 2009.
In 2015 she stepped down from the mid-morning slot for “family and new adventures” after revealing was pregnant with her second child earlier in year.
She joined BBC Radio 2 in 2016 where she is best known for her Sounds Of The 90s music nostalgia shows.
Cotton currently hosts the Happy Place podcast where she has interviewed celebrities including US actress Riley Keough, Scottish TV and film star David Tennant and singer Perrie Edwards.
