Fearne Cotton and Jesse Wood burst into a two-hour screaming match in a public park before they announced their shock split.

Former CBBC host Fearne, 43, revealed on Instagram Stories that she had and her husband of ten years had decided to call time on their marriage. Fearne, who has been open and frank about the downsides of their relationship as well as the good, dismissed rumours of trouble at home over recent years.

She shared the sad news with a simple message, which read: “It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.” Fearne and Jesse share two children, Rex and Honey, while Fearne also has two step-children from Jesse’s first marriage.

There has been speculation for some time over the couple, with Fearne admitting that she and Jesse had a two hour screaming match in public, before both breaking down in tears. Conflicts over work schedules and a reportedly absent sex life also contributed to the breakdown of their marriage, with Fearne admitting it all got too much at one point.

In 2019, Fearne wrote in her Red Magazine column: “One blustery and grey day, this culminated in a screaming match in our local park, which lasted about two hours until we both broke and cried. Luckily, my husband is the most emotionally literate person, so we can be completely vulnerable in front of one another. In the midst of this gargantuan row, I think we both wondered where the love had gone and worried that it might not come back.”

Fearne often commented on their relationship in her column, telling her fans: “Love takes hard work – and no one wants to hear that.” She continued: “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.”

More recently, Fearne told listeners of her Happy Place podcast that tensions were high with her and her partner. She told fans: “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.”

The announcement of their separation comes just days after Fearne revealed she had surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jaw. She is currently recovering from her treatment.

Strictly Come Dancing star Will Mellor, 48, has shared his support for people experiencing grief, after losing both his sister and his father.

The actor’s older sister, Joanne, died at the age of 44 in 2012, with Will admitting he still suffers with feelings of guilt from her passing. In 2020, his dad, Bill, died just weeks after being diagnosed with cancer, with the introduction of Coronavirus restrictions making the loss even more difficult.

Coronation Street star Will openly spoke about how he processed the heart-breaking deaths of his family members, and described how he’d encourage others to cope with similar events. “The advice I’d give is when I lost my dad I just cried when I felt like crying, I let it out. I didn’t hold it in, I just let it out,” he shared while talking to the Mirror.

In comparison, the actor revealed how he bottled up his emotions after Joanne’s death in order to put up a strong front, but ultimately ended up suffering more. He said: “I think with my sister I held it in, I tried to protect everybody else from grieving. I pretended I was okay when I was dying inside.

“I think talking is massive, you have to talk. If you’re struggling it’s okay not to be okay – and I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but I’ve said it a lot about mental health awareness. It’s okay not to be okay.”

While Will has now learned to be open and honest with his emotions, he also detailed how Joanne’s death initially led him down a dark path. “It’s really tough. Grief has a way of surprising you, it hides away. I thought that I was okay, I grieved the loss of my sister not too well. I turned to drink and gambling and all the things that I would advise against. But I didn’t know what to do,” he admitted.

Will has won over fans by healthily sharing his emotions on TV, with the musician having let tears fall on Strictly after dedicating a dance to his dad. Similarly, he received an outpouring of admiration from viewers after breaking down on his show Will and Ralf Should Know Better, which he hosts alongside his Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps co-star Ralf Little.

Speaking of his overwhelming emotions while talking about his dad on Will and Ralf Should Know Better, he said: “Obviously it was important to leave it in the show. There are other people who will be going through that, and they’ll feel that it’s okay, it’s normal. That’s what grief is.”

Will also shared: “I’m now actually seeing somebody, I’m going to counselling, because when that came out I realised that there’s a lot inside me I need to talk about. So I’ve started counselling, and I’m not ashamed to say that… I started it just the other week and I’m going to continue it, even when I feel good.

He stressed the importance of everyone facing up to their emotions, adding: “Yeah, I’m an alpha male man and I have issues. What’s wrong with that? I’ve been through quite a bit. So we’ll find out how it goes, but it can only get better.”

Cat Deeley has shared a rare video of one of her sons on social media – and he looks just like his famous dad.

The 48-year-old posted the short clip to her Instagram stories. It appeared to show her eldest son Milo, eight, during a dreaded trip to the dentist. Wearing a red Christmas jumper and jeans, the youngster had special dark glasses on ready for a treatment. And he looked braver than a lot of us do in the dentist chair, as it didn’t seem to bother him at all.

Though he has slightly longer hair, Milo looked the spit of his Irish comedian and actor dad Patrick Kielty, 53, who Cat has been married to since 2012. The couple also share a six-year-old son called James. The family previously lived in LA, where Cat and Patrick worked for years, but recently relocated back to the UK.

It was then that Cat landed the new This Morning presenting job with Ben Shephard, taking over from Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. The pair have been fronting the ITV show since March and seem to be a hit with viewers so far.

Cat and Patrick moved back to Blighty after 14 years living in America. But Cat revealed it was a terrifying incident involving a gunman in a shopping mall while Patrick was out with Milo in a branch of Shake Shack that prompted their return home.

In a 2020 interview, Cat explained: “Everyone was told to lie behind the counter or pushed into the loos. People were screaming and crying. Then, as they were all hiding, the FBI turned up with guns. Paddy kept Milo calm — he didn’t really know what was going on.”

“As I was driving, I began to see helicopters, news vans, firemen and armed police response squads. It makes me go funny now. It was terrifying. Paddy was shaken by it, more than Milo, who didn’t properly understand. The gun laws in America are crazy.”

“They shut down the centre. I got a call from Paddy, saying: ‘They’re taking us out through the fire exits but nobody can get to their car. If we walk to a junction, can you come and get us?'”

Thankfully, Patrick and Milo were ok, but Cat said she realised she couldn’t raise her family in the US when she started looking at schools for her boys and was warned about potential gun attacks and what the procedure was if one happened. She added: “They tell you exactly what would happen, whether the kids would go to a safe room or hide under the desks…The danger suddenly becomes a reality.”

Katie Price risked a backlash – and even a parking fine – when she moved her car into a disabled parking spot allegedly without a valid badge.

The 46-year-old mum-of-five was spotted popping too and from the parked car alongside 32-year-old boyfriend JJ Slater of Married At First Sight fame – and it appeared none of her children were with them. Katie wore a grey outfit and had a designer bag over her shoulder, with photos capturing the moment she opened the passenger seat of her car while JJ prepared to drive them away.

The photographs showed that the ground was covered in fallen leaves from nearby trees – however, the yellow outline of a disabled access sign could be seen on the ground beneath the wheels of the car that she and JJ had parked. The snaps were captured on Friday as the OnlyFans star and her reality star boyfriend spend time in Norwich – where Katie is currently starring in a production of Cinderella at the Northwich Memorial Court entertainment venue.

The star would be hoping that no one would shout “he’s behind you!” only to be confronted by the sight of a traffic warden – as her allegedly rule-breaking parking appeared to go largely unnoticed. MailOnline have shared images from the alleged moment and reported: “Katie Price was spotted parking illegally in a disabled bay in Northwich on Friday… [She] was joined by her boyfriend JJ Slater as they were seen parking in the disabled bay without displaying a valid badge.” The Mirror has contacted Katie’s representatives for comment.

Earlier in the day, Katie showed off her glamorous make-up and stylish accessories while JJ drove her around. Addressing fans in a video message that she recorded in the passenger seat, the star had her hair slicked back and wore a light pink colour of lipstick. She then showed off a Gucci handbag that she lifted up to the camera and also showed off the Gucci earrings on her lobes.

She told her fans: “I’m feeling very glamorous today. I’ve got my earrings. My matching bag. Love it! If any of you are wondering where I got my earrings and bag from, it’s Get The Look. Love it. They’ve got some nice bits on there. Check it out.” And later that day, she shared even more footage as she joined her boyfriend’s family for a meal in a restaurant.

Panning the camera around to show the collection of in-laws around her, she declared: “Nice evening dinner with the family.” And she added a caption stating: “Dinner with @johnjoeslater family and my bestie @jeydayilmaz.”

Elsewhere on Friday, Katie shared a video clip of her eldest son, Harvey, working out at the gym. Uploading a short clip to Instagram Stories, Katie watched on as he used a machine to exercise his arms – with the glamour model writing in a caption: “Proud of Harvey”.

Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson has made a devastating confession that she experienced an act of rape up to six times.

The reality TV personality, who appeared on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018, went on to star in other reality TV shows, including Celebrity Ex on the Beach. The model also makes money from OnlyFans, previously revealing she makes £20,000 and £70,000 a month from the platform.

But behind the scenes, Megan has suffered trauma, after realising what she thought was normal between partners, is actually a form of sexual assault. In a new interview, she has recalled how on up to six occasions, while sleeping with a man, they have claimed the condom has split, which lead her to have an abortion.

Classified as rape, the slang term ‘stealthing’, is used to describe the non consensual removal of a condom during sex, without informing the other person. But tragically, Megan “didn’t know it was a crime” until speaking to Married At First Sight expert Paul C Brunson on the We Need to Talk podcast.

Speaking to the BBC, Megan revealed that she though it was “something between partners” that needs to be discussed with them. She told the outlet: “I’d never heard of stealthing, ever. When we started to have sex, the condom was obviously on – that was fine – and then at the end, he’d removed it intentionally but his excuse was ‘it split and it broke’. It was shocking.” Megan urged other women to report the rarely prosecuted sex crime, explaining “it’s not fair and it’s not OK.”

In an attempt to clarify the law on the issue, the Metropolitan Police are running a campaign on stealthing, describing it as a “total breach of consent” which can have “life-changing” effects on victims. The Met responded to a report of sexual assault by stealthing, which ended with one man behind bars for four years and three months.

Meanwhile, Megan has recently sparked concern among fans, after posting a photo of herself crying. The model, who has been open about her mental health struggles, recently shared an image of her in a hoody, resting her head on her forearm.

She captioned the post: “Going through it atm. Never post s**t like this but feel like it’s important if your having the worst time rn it will get better.” Underneath her photo, she put an image of a pickle, with the message: “Remind yourself everyday that you’re a sexy little pickle, with a juicy little booty and you’re gonna be just fine baby.”

On the same post, Megan shared another message, explaining why she had posted her photo, which left fans worried for her. She wrote: “My ego is going to regret this one as soon as I click post. I always used to think what sort of narcissist posts pictures of themselves crying?! I took it for myself before I even thought about posting a story… the motive was to look back in a month and see the growth happiness and fulfilment I feel from life. Ultimately you’ve only got yourself so I’m gonna try fall back love with my own company & the small wins again.”

A retired California highway patrolman has stumbled into possession of a trove of unreleased Michael Jackson songs — which the world may never have a chance to hear.

Gregg Musgrove, now a stay-at-home dad, procured the tapes after an associate purchased a storage unit in the city of Van Nuys that contained the recordings, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The unit had once belonged to music producer Bryan Loren — who also worked with artists including Whitney Houston and Sting — but whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

Inside were cassette tapes and digital-audio tapes (DAT) of 12 unreleased tracks Jackson had worked on before releasing his Grammy-nominated “Dangerous” album in 1991.

Sadly for Jackson’s many fans, an attorney hired by Musgrove to contact the Jackson estate was told that the estate owns the copyright on all of the late singer’s musical recordings and compositions, so they cannot be released publicly.

The estate later clarified for the Hollywood Reporter that it holds the master recordings of the recently unearthed songs in its vaults, and that “nothing commercial or otherwise can be done with the DAT copies.”

Some of the songs had only been rumored to exist, while others had been partially leaked, Musgrove told the Hollywood Reporter, but added “a couple aren’t even out there in the world.”

Some tapes include the voice of Jackson and apparently Loren discussing the songs and the creative process.

“To hear Michael Jackson actually talk and kind of joke back and forth, it was really, really cool,” said Musgrove.

The tracks include one titled “Don’t Believe It,” an apparent reference to rumors about Jackson concerning sexual assault against minors. On another, “Truth on Youth,” Jackson appears to engage in a rap duet with LL Cool J.

It was not clear what Musgrove might have paid his associate for the tapes, but he still stands to come out ahead.

He plans to offer the tapes to major auction houses, and buyers are expected to line up.
