The couple, who celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary earlier this month, appeared to put on a sombre display just hours after she admitted that lockdown put a strain on their marriage.

Over the weekend, the presenter spoke candidly about the challenges their relationship has faced during the COVID-19 crisis and confessed that they’ve had several ‘fiery’ rows in front of their two children.

Fearne said that with her family holed up at home in lockdown she’s also argued with her son Rex, seven, and daughter Honey, four, but insisted their family is stronger than ever.

Speaking on her Happy Place podcast according to The Sun, Fearne admitted she and Jesse had several rows in front of their children during lockdown.

She admitted she’s never felt happy about her family having to witness the arguments, but admitted she and Jesse can be quite ‘fiery.’

Fearne also admitted she has shouted at her two children on more than one occasion during lockdown saying: ‘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.’

Fearne 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”.’

In previous years Fearne has been incredibly open about some of the more difficult patches in her six-year marriage to Jesse, and last year admitted that they were left ‘clinging’ onto their relationship after a ‘two hour screaming match.’

Penning a column for Red Magazine, she said: ‘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.’

Thankfully, the couple were able to work through their differences and their relationship is now even stronger and believe they’re found a ‘deeper kind of love.’

In July 2019, Fearne also admitted she and Jesse ‘always argue,’ and said it can be tough juggling her career with parenthood. Jesse also has two children from a previous marriage to Tilly Wood – Arthur, 18, and Lola, 14.  

She said on Lorraine: ‘I adore and love more than anything. But of course we have arguments. 

‘People think because I live in the public eye, we have a perfect life. But I have two kids, and two step-kids, so it’s a busy life. Of course, there’s going to be arguments.’
