Have loved-up Fearne and her Rivals director boyfriend been hitting the his 'n' hers hair dye? Couple sport matching golden locks as they take a leisurely stroll in south west London
With their romance now out of the shadows, Fearne Cotton and TV director Elliot Hegarty stepped out hand-in-hand last week. Following the end of their marriages late last year, and having kept a low profile since being spotted kissing passionately during a night out in Soho in February, it was with a lighter step that the couple strolled around leafy Richmond in south-west London. And with Hegarty, 53, now sporting a fresh peroxide blond makeover to match 43-year-old broadcaster Fearne's golden locks, the kissing drama that exposed their relationship seemed to be a world away. At the time, both had split from their partners just weeks earlier and Hegarty's devastated wife Laura was said to have only known the pair were dating when the passionate photos were published. It was a plot that could have come from TV series Rivals, the Jilly Cooper bonkbuster novel which Hegarty had just directed, or perhaps his BBC1 drama Cheaters. An insider said Laura, 51, is still 'finding it hard to come to terms with Hegarty's new relationship' but has 'kept her head down and concentrated on the children' at their £2million marital home in north London. The source added: 'He has even changed his look and cropped and peroxided his hair since this all started. He was always handsome but more low-key with mousey brown hair. He's like a different person now.' Fearne's husband of ten years Jesse Wood, 48, son of Rolling Stone Ronnie, was said to have been equally shattered when he found she had moved on so quickly just 11 weeks after confirming their separation. Fearne, who has two children Rex, 12, and Honey, nine, opened up last week about her struggles as a single parent. 'Sometimes I have a cry in my car, call one of my best friends and go, 'Are you having a sh**show too?' Yeah... OK, it's not just me. And then I crack on. And then it feels slightly better the next day,' she told a Women's Health podcast.

Fearne Cotton has passionate snog with new boyfriend as they fly off on romantic mini-break
FEARNE Cotton kisses her new boyfriend Elliot Hegarty after arriving in Mallorca for a romantic holiday. The couple, who first started dating earlier this year, were seen locking lips in baggage reclaim at Palma airport. 4 Fearne, 43, and Elliot, 53, flew in from London Heathrow and were spotted by a fellow passenger who recognised them. They said: 'Fearne and Elliot were like teenagers in love. 'They were kissing and cuddling while waiting for their bags to come through from the plane. 'It was lovely to see her so happy. Elliot totally doted on her. She's found a lovely man in him.' The Sun first revealed how Fearne was in a relationship with Rivals and Cheaters director Elliot in February. Their romance started after Fearne's marriage to Reef guitarist Jesse Wood ended in December. Friends told The Sun Elliot had left his wife days later on Boxing Day. Two months later the pair were seen kissing and holding hands in London's Soho on a night out with friends. A source said 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 Jesse, who have two children together, wed in 2014 after dating for three years. They announced the end of their marriage in a statement on December 16 last year. Jesse, 48, has since moved on with Made In Chelsea star Gemma Gregory, 39. 4 4 4
