Fearne Cotton has opened up about the pressures of lockdown affecting her marriage to musician Jesse Wood, who she married in 2014.
The TV and radio host, 38, has admitted she and Jesse row in front of their two young children “as a result of being stuck in four walls trying to survive”.
The former kids TV presenter — who has son Rex, seven, and daughter Honey, four — was speaking on her podcast, Happy Place.
She said: “I am a very fiery person, and Jesse can also be quite fiery.
“We’ve certainly argued in front of the kids. Most parents have at some point.

“It’s not regular but we have definitely had a pop at each other in front of them — and you don’t feel good about it after.
“I’ve also shouted at my kids like I think most parents have, especially during lockdown.
“We have no school, full-time work for me, no help here whatsoever — like most families, you’re just stuck within four walls trying to survive.”

She added: “It has been mad. We’ve all had a shout at each other, the kids have shouted at me, we’ve shouted at them. But I constantly endeavour to go, ‘Fearne, don’t act like a child, get yourself together’.
“Sometimes I will just walk out of the room, take a few breaths, and try again.”
Fearne previously spoke about saving her marriage after she and Jesse overcame a “rough patch”.

She wrote in her Red magazine column: “This year, Jesse and I hit a rough patch – he was away, touring relentlessly, [with his band, Reef].
“I was trying to keep my own career going while looking after our kids and we were both desperately clinging on to our marriage.”
She then said she panicked their “love had gone” after a two-hour screaming match, where all of the tension came to a head.
Both Fearne and Jesse cried after the row, as she credited Jesse’s “emotional side” for helping them work through their marital problems.
Fearne and Jesse met in 2012 and tied the knot two years later.
