Fearne Cotton: 'I hit a very dark patch, I was drowning in it'

Presenter and DJ, Fearne Cotton, has revealed that she has suffered from depression.

Writing in Glamour, she admitted:

“I hit a very dark patch and lost sight of it ever passing.

“Happiness to me means acceptance. Being truly at peace with who we are. Knowing that we will of course all have great times but also some very tough times.

“A few years ago I hit a very dark patch and lost sight of it ever passing. I was drowning in it all rather than reassuring myself that those feelings would soon pass."

Cotton has previously spoken candidly about the effect of the break-up of her engagement to professional skateboarder, Jesse Jenkins in 2011.

She said: "That felt pretty crap. It was around the time of the Royal wedding so there was this big thing about marriage everywhere, but my life was the opposite of that.”

Cotton is now married to Jessie Wood and they have two children together. In Glamour, she continued:

"During mine and Jesse’s first dance, I have never been so in the moment.

“I was unaware of anyone watching, unaware of time passing, I was simply lapping up every delicious second of this magical moment. This memory still has a dream-like quality about it."
