Fearne Cotton's ex Jesse Wood looks loved-up on romantic stroll with new girlfriend
Fearne Cotton's ex Jesse Wood has been spotted on a romantic stroll with girlfriend Gemma Gregory in West London this week. The musician, 48, and the former Made in Chelsea star, 39, looked happier than ever as they stepped out together.
Jesse dressed down in a black bomber jacket, black t-shirt and khaki trousers, with some matching black trainers. He accessorised with a chain around his neck and silver rings and was pictured holding a water bottle and his phone in his hands, as seen in pictures obtained by MailOnline.
Meanwhile, Gemma looked stunning in a white frilly Summer dress and a pair of colourful blue and red wedge-style heels. She brought the look together with gold jewellery and a pair on sunglasses, which she wore on her dress. The couple were all smiles as they enjoyed a laugh during their outing together.
The pair went public with their relationship back in April and things seem like their going from strength to strength. Jesse and Fearne, 43, announced their shock split in December after 10 years of marriage.
She said that their priority is to look after their children, son Rex, 12, and daughter Honey, nine. The statement read: '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 always will be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.'
Jesse isn't the only one who has moved on as Fearne is in a relationship with Rivals director Elliot Hegarty, 53. The two were first spotted enjoying a passionate kiss while in Soho in February.
A source told The Sun at the time: 'Fearne and Elliot have known each other for a while. When their marriages ended their friendship developed into romance.
'They have been seeing each other since January. Her split with Jesse was incredibly difficult but Elliot seems to make her incredibly happy. Fearne is now introducing Elliot to friends and they're pleased to see her smiling again.'
Fearne and Elliot were spotted again in July after arriving in Mallorca for a romantic holiday. The loved-up pair were seen locking lips in baggage reclaim at Palma airport.
The presenter recently admitted to feeling the pressure of trying to raise her kids while juggling her media career. Speaking to the Women's Health magazine's new podcast, Just As Well, she revealed she felt as though she was "dropping a lot of balls" and struggling to do anything "particularly well".
She added: "I had nothing the kids liked for breakfast on Monday, nothing. I had cereal, but no milk. I had butter, but no bread. I tried to make pancakes, I had no maple syrup. It is like an absolute s**t show.
"So I'm just dropping lots of balls constantly and never feeling like I'm doing anything particularly well. But enjoying most of it. I would say enjoying most of it."

BBC branded 'childish' as over half of Gregg Wallace's 'recipes are removed from broadcaster's food website' amid star's MasterChef axe
The BBC have been branded 'childish' by frustrated food lovers after over half of Gregg Wallace 's were reportedly removed from the broadcaster's food website. The disgraced MasterChef host, 60, was recently dismissed from the cooking show after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. And in the wake of his axing, it appears that the BBC have taken further action as a number of his recipes appear to have vanished from BBC Food website, leaving some users angry. The Sun reports that six of 11 dishes by the former greengrocer have disappeared since Gregg was sacked last month. Fallen dishes are said to include a sausage and lentil soup, a raspberry marinated rack of lamb and mince pie ice-cream. One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about the removal, sparking a flurry of comments from other disgruntled people. The disgraced MasterChef host, 60, was recently dismissed from the cooking show after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation They penned: 'BBC Good Food have removed a recipe I liked from their website because it was from Gregg Wallace. Can't we separate the art from the artist.' To which others replied: ' Yeah, it's frustrating when good content disappears over drama... Shame though, recipes shouldn't need a moral background check.' 'Seems childish. I'm never going to stop listening to Michael Jackson - I don't care about his problematic private life.' 'Can't believe they're actually scrubbing recipes over this - feels like such an overreaction. If the market's already spoken on his content, let it be. Kinda reminds me of @EthanTaylorG7's point about letting audiences decide.' The publication reports that other website users fumed: 'another stupid cancellation by the BBC'. 'Whatever you think of the guy, it was hardly his recipes that were the problem.' Daily Mail have contacted the BBC for comment. It comes days after in its latest episode, with viewers declaring: 'Is this for real?' Just a handful of Gregg's recipes remain on the BBC Food website One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter , to complain about the removal, sparking a flurry of comments from other disgruntled people Gregg and co-host John Torode were sacked after almost 20 years on the show by the BBC last month after an investigation upheld allegations about their poor behaviour. Wallace had 40 complaints upheld, including one where he was accused of wandering around set naked with a sock on his penis. Torode was found to have used a racist term in 2018. Their final series of MasterChef was filmed before they were both fired. The show's bosses have insisted on keeping them in the final edit - but only if they were on screen less and their banter and jokes were cut down to a minimum. Several contestants asked to be edited out themselves to avoid being on screen with them. Daily Mail revealed that viewers have pointed out 'disgraceful' edits in the new series on BBC One and iPlayer, with many cuts appearing awkward and repetitive, including those of Mr Wallace. In one scene shown last week, stills of Gregg pulling the same face three times in around a minute made it to air - with many suggesting that the BBC and production company Banijay used the same footage of the disgraced host repeatedly through the show. Some of his fans have even claimed the edits, where Gregg gives a semi-gurning smile, were deliberately to embarrass him and 'make him look demented'. TikTok user Gingernat Design shared a particularly unusual example, writing: 'Clever editing fromMasterchef TikTok user Gingernat Design shared a particularly unusual example, writing: 'Clever editing from MasterChef. 'Whether this is to do with the allegations or not I don't know, but it's jokes how they just froze Gregg Wallace for an entire conversation.' The now-viral clip sees a contestant discuss her performance with Torode and Wallace. The same shot of Wallace appears to be used three times in succession - and he is seen with a broad grin fixed on his face. The uncanny scene has horrified fans, who rushed to social media to express their disapproval.

Married at First Sight star Marilyse Corrigan left reeling as she is 'dumped by text'
Marilyse Corriganan, who found fame on E4's reality show Married At First Sight is said to have been left 'heartbroken' after her partner of one year split up with her via text message Married at First Sight star Marilyse Corrigan has been left single again after her partner of one year 'dumped her over text'. The personal trainer, who found fame when she met and married Franky Spencer, 50, on the set of the E4 series, and, while they quickly realised it wasn't meant to be, she found love again with someone else. Marilyse, 40, met her mystery man, who is not in the public eye, a year ago and things seemed to be going well between the pair but now an insider has claimed that the whole thing has come to a very abrupt end. A source told The Sun: "Marilyse is really upset and can't believe she's ended up single again. She was dumped over text after falling head over heels. It was a whirlwind romance and in hindsight she feels she was love bombed." Lovebombing, which originated as a term in the 1970s but has gained particular momentum since the advent of social media, is used to describe the action of showering someone with affection to an excessive degree shortly after meeting as a way to secure them into some kind of romantic relationship. The reality star is yet to break her silence on the matter publicly, and has instead chosen to keep her 131,000 Instagram followers up to date with health and fitness tips instead. After both she and Franky agreed to go their separate ways following their time on the television experiment in 2021, Marilyse struck up a relationship with fellow MAFS star Matt Murray, 34, but even that fizzled out after six months, and she claimed at the time that the whole thing had felt "too intense" for her liking. At the time, she told new! magazine: "Matt likes to have all of your attention when you're in a relationship with him. He was needy and couldn't understand why I couldn't be his all the time. "I wouldn't call them red flags, but there were times when he'd question me about silly things - things that were unnecessary - and then question me about them again." In response to Marilyse's claims, Matt told the Mirror: "I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the comments made about me by Marilyse regarding our relationship. "Whilst I acknowledge Marilyse's feelings, I do not agree with her comments. Relationships can be complex and there are always two sides to every story. "I am very private so I don't wish to share my side of the story publicly. I would like to draw a line under this now." He added: "While I understand that Marilyse has shared her perspective on our time together, I want to make it clear that I hold no ill feelings towards her and I wish her nothing but the best. "I am committed to growth. Moving forward, I am focusing on the positive and surrounding myself with supportive people who encourage me to be my best self." "So I started feeling on edge around him." Matt had moved on with Marilyse after his spontaneous marriage to Hughes didn't work out, even though they appeared to have hit it off to begin with. Things turned sour and she decided to call it a day and dumped the tattooed barber with sources claiming he had been causing upset while "gaslighting" his social media followers. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, a source close to Marilyse said: " We're all so relieved that Marilyse saw sense and ended things with Matt. He treated her appallingly, she was totally blinded by him, he love-bombed her and she always sees the good in people which left her vulnerable to him." Marilyse is not surprised by Matt's recent behaviour on Instagram. She expects nothing less from him. "Marilyse tried to see the good in him because she knows oh too well how the show edits can portray cast members inaccurately, but unfortunately, as time went on it became clear he didn't appreciate her."

BBC axes Survivor UK after one season, Joel Dommett reveals
Survivor UK returned to television screens, via the BBC, for the first time in more than 20 years in 2023 after first airing with ITV back in 2001/02. The reboot was hosted by Joel Dommett and saw contestants "marooned in a tropical location where they are divided into two tribes, competing against each other in a range of physical and mental challenges" in an attempt to be crowned the sole survivor. The BBC spent £30 million making the new Survivor series, according to The Sun, which was filmed in the Dominican Republic during the summer of 2023. Top 10 best British TV series Survivor axed after just one season in 'TV's most expensive flop' The final of the BBC's first series of Survivor UK aired back in December 2023, with Matthew emerging victorious and winning the £100,000 prize, alongside the title of sole survivor. Now, nearly two years later, host Joel Dommett has revealed the reality show will not be returning for a second season. Dommett, speaking to The Sun, said: 'It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. 'I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. 'I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back.' Survivor only attracted an average of 2.6 million viewers, the news outlet reported, despite being given a prime slot straight after Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One. RECOMMENDED READING: A source, speaking in The Sun, commented: 'Survivor was given a plum spot in the schedule right after Strictly Come Dancing but totally tanked. 'Execs just can't get their head around why the UK just can't find any love for a format which is beloved around the globe. 'After a year of speculation that the BBC's remake was facing the chop, it's now official. 'It's looking like TV's most expensive flop ever.' The BBC was contacted, but refused to comment.
