Fearne Cotton's ex goes public with Made In Chelsea star girlfriend
Fearne Cotton's ex-husband, Jesse Wood, has made his first public appearance with his new girlfriend, Gemma Gregory. The son of Rolling Stones rocker, Ronnie Wood, split with Fearne in December after a decade of marriage, with the mum-of-two, 43, announcing the sad news on Instagram with a "heavy heart".
Three months ago, Made In Chelsea star, Gemma, 39, posted snaps of her and Jesse snuggling up in the sunshine as the musician moved, 48, on with his life. And now they've rocked up together for a VIP screening of 60's icon Twiggy's new self-titled movie at the Selfridge's cinema in London, looking every inch a couple.
Jesse grins in a snap of the pair, who pose alongside Twiggy, cutting a casual figure in a t.shirt and jeans. Gemma, meanwhile, sports a racy cutaway black dress with a jacket around her waist as she cuddles up to her man at the star-studded bash.
It comes after kids TV star, Fearne, spoke about her life without Jesse on BBC Breakfast this week. Admitting things hadn't been easy, she discussed the challenges she's faced over the past year, including health issues.
Speaking candidly to hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent about an operation she had in December last year to remove two benign jaw tumours, she also discussed her recovery process, returning to work, and receiving support from fellow celebrity Davina McCall.
"It was the end of last year, it ended up being one benign tumour and a couple of lymph nodes that had to come out with it," Fearne began. "But I've recovered well and I'm feeling good, and very grateful I think as well."
Reflecting on her recent time away from the spotlight, Fearne said: "I think it was like a little pressing pause moment, which was no bad thing. It's so rare that I take off any time and I had to properly rest and recover; it went quite quickly.
"I'm definitely back in the swing of things now."
The timing of Fearne's operation coincided with the news of her separation from Jesse, son of Rolling Stones icon, Ronnie.
The couple, who had been together for a decade, tied the knot in 2014.
In a heartfelt statement issued in December through X, Fearne announced: "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 will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time."

Made In Chelsea Thailand: When Does Series 30 Start And Why Are Some Fan Favourites Missing?
After a typically dramatic spring season of Made in Chelsea, the SW3 residents must be in desperate need of another working holiday. So in true The White Lotus style, they've all headed off to the five star Avani and Khao Lak resort in Thailand to kick off series 30, which means it won't be long before the show returns to our screens. From our social media sleuthing, we can see that a few cast favourites were missing from the trip, and a few exes were looking quite cosy too. Here's what we know so far about series 30 of the hit E4 reality show, from potential start date to storylines and new cast members... We don't know exactly when series 30 of Made in Chelsea will air, but following past scheduling patterns, it is likely to arrive at the beginning of September. Each series starts with a group holiday to a luxurious location, with past series seeing the cast fly to Mauritius, the Maldives, Australia, Ibiza and Bali, to name a few, and this summer they are all in Thailand. They will then return to Chelsea for their usual antics and lavish social lives. Fans can expect to see E4 mainstays like Tristan Phipps, Jules Pollard, David 'Temps' Temple, Jazz Saunders, Freddie Knatchbull and Yasmine Zweegers. It will also see the return of Freddie's ex, Beks Collins, as well as last season newbie Arman PK. It looks like Sam Prince did not join the cast in Thailand, but he seems to have been filming with Reza Amiri-Garroussi back in London. Ruby Adler was also noticeably absent, instead posting photos of her trip to Greece on Instagram. Likewise newlyweds Sam Vanderpump and Alice Yaxley were nowhere to be seen on the holiday, but it's likely they will still be part of the show from home. Of course, it wouldn't be a new season of Made in Chelsea without a few new faces. Most notably, former Love Island star Chuggs has made a bold return to the show, after briefly dipping in and out a few times over the years. He's been hanging out in Thailand with Jules and Tristan, so we are likely to see him join the fold for the rest of series 30 too. Joining Yasmine and Beks' squad is 24-year-old Molly Paradice, who runs her own jewellery line and has joined the cast of the E4 show. They are also good friends with Olly Claxton Newman, who is also new to the show and joining the cast on their Thai getaway. As for plot predictions, by the looks of Yasmine's rekindled friendships with Temps, and Jules and Tristan, it looks as though her will-they-won't-they with Sam Prince might be over. Best friends Jazz and Jules are still very much joined at the hip, and Jazz has been sure to shout out her girlfriend Demi Simms from the beach in Thailand, honouring her with a post to celebrate London Pride by wearing a t-shirt that says 'I love my hot girlfriend'. It's unclear whether there is anything romantic going on between Beks and Freddie again, but at least Tristan and Jules are still going strong too.

Sophie Habboo 'mortified' after making King Charles mistake at Buckingham Palace
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Former Made in Chelsea star Sophie Habboo has shared an "embarrassing" moment with King Charles that left her "mortified." During last month's annual King's Trust Awards at Buckingham Palace on June 26, Sophie and her husband, Jamie Laing, were among the star-studded line-up of attendees at the event. The ceremony boasted a guest list including acting legend George Clooney and his wife Amal, Dame Joanna Lumley, Joseph Fiennes, and the ever-popular I'm A Celeb co-host Dec Donnelly—all there to pay tribute to this year's award winners. But for Sophie, the event turned into an occasion she'd rather forget, as she confessed she was left "embarrassed" by a mistake at the Palace. (Image: Dave Benett, Alan Chapman/) With the celebrities divided into smaller groups, Sophie found herself alongside Jamie, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, and one of the award recipients. Yet, despite being told only to shake the King's hand after he offered it, Jamie disclosed on their Nearly Parents podcast that Sophie seemed to have missed the memo. He amusingly recalled: "He kept looking towards Sophie. And as soon as he went towards Sophie, Sophie put her hand up—five times." Jamie went on to describe how his wife gradually became tired of repeatedly offering her hand to the King. Finally, he said: "And then what happened was, the last time he turned towards Sophie, she put out her hand—she didn't withdraw it. She just held it there. She just held it there and didn't move it." (Image: JANE BARLOW, POOL/AFP via Getty Images) Sophie confessed that, despite feeling "mortified" by the incident, when she eventually met the King, he graciously enquired about Jamie's recent sporting achievement, asking if he had recovered from his demanding ultramarathon. The King was alluding to Jamie's extreme Ultra Marathon Man effort for Comic Relief, which saw him run from London to Salford, completing an ultramarathon each day for five consecutive days. (Image: Dave Benett, Alan Chapman/) Jamie and Sophie, who continue to share updates on their Nearly Parents podcast, first met in 2017 while appearing on Channel 4's Made in Chelsea. Having tied the knot in 2023, the two former Made in Chelsea stars recently announced they are expecting their first child.

ITV star eyes up This Morning hosting role as they recall 'idolising' show
ITV This Morning has seen a number of guest presenters step in over the years, but it seems one star is eyeing up the top spot and they're no stranger to the show. This Morning's hosting duo, Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, took over the popular ITV show in 2024, following the exit of long-time presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. In recent times, various guest presenters, including Rochelle Humes, Emma Willis, Rylan Clark and Paddy McGuiness, have temporarily stepped in. However, one ITV personality seems to be eyeing a permanent spot on the show's couch. Ashley James, a Made in Chelsea star turned commentator and regular guest panellist on This Morning, expressed her desire to take on the top hosting role. Ashley, 38, revealed to The Sun: "I've always said that I'm always there when the time comes. I would always love to host This Morning. "I kind of follow where my interests are, and it's got me to where I am today, and I'm always going to work harder than anyone else." Feeling grateful, Ashley reflected on her journey, recalling how she began her career in the entertainment industry back in 2012 without any industry connections, reports Wales Online. Initially, her main objective after quitting her job was to appear on This Morning. Since then, she has become a familiar face on the show, often sharing her opinions on current events alongside Nick Ferrari. Ashley explained: "I wanted to be on This Morning because it's a show that I grew up idolising. It was the goal. "So I love it and it's such an amazing team. I love everybody that's on there, both in front of the camera and and behind the scenes." While Ashley has yet to take up presenting duties, the news broke that Olivia Attwood, famous for Love Island and now a regular on Loose Women, is expected to lead the programme over the summer season. Olivia expressed enthusiasm about her forthcoming stint alongside Ben and Cat in an interview, saying: "I'm going to be doing a couple of shows in the summer, I'm very excited to be joining you guys." She added: "It's a huge honour, I've obviously grown up watching this show and being part of the Daytime team with the Loose Women has been the best experience and this just feels like a very natural progression of that." The endorsement from seasoned hosts Ben and Cat came through loud and clear; they're confident that Olivia will be 'brilliant' in her new role.
