Fearne Cotton has broken her silence after announcing her shock split from husband Jesse Wood.The radio DJ, who has been married to Jesse for 10 years, explained how “there is a lot of pressure for women” during the latest episode of her Happy Place podcast.

In the episode, which was released on Monday, 16 December, Fearne 43, spoke to Caroline Hirons about the pressures that are placed on women when it comes to navigating work, family and social commitments. “There is a lot of pressure for women to prove ourselves, that we can run businesses, I'm trying to do the same with Happy Place.

But if we are honest, the pressure is immense,” she said. “I can imagine you are like me, there are lots of things I'd like to do, lots of goals.

I want to grow and expand myself in many ways but I don't want to feel depleted and stressed out and not be able to be present in my family home, [I want to] have time with my friends, have fun.There is still that toxic sort of trope that women can have it all, that people believe.” The podcast episode comes just days after Fearne revealed that she and husband Jesse have called time on their relationship.The pair began dating in 2011 and share two children, Rex and Honey, while Jesse also has two children from a previous relationship.
