Fearne Cotton posts fun throwback snap of herself as a teenager

She recently announced the launch of her new book, Speak Your Truth: Connecting with your inner truth and learning to find your voice. 

And Fearne Cotton was feeling nostalgic on Sunday as she posted a snap of herself as a teenager in the 90s with ‘a mouth full of braces and a head full of boys’. 

The TV and radio presenter, 38, shared the playful picture to her Instagram in which she donned a full fringe with waist-long tresses ‘before hair dye and the internet’. 

A fresh-faced Fearne posed with her hand to her head as she stuck her tongue out in the throwback photograph. 

She was pictured wearing a green half-zip jumper with a black vest top underneath and accessorised with a silver chain adorned with a red pendant. 

Posting on Instagram, Fearne wrote: ‘Before hair dye and the internet. A mouth full of braces and a head full of boys. 90’s fun to remind you there’s a brand new Sounds of The 90’s on @bbcsounds.’  

And the mother-of-two took a trip down memory lane as she shared a collection of pictures from the 1990s to her Instagram story. 

Fearne looked stunning in a close-up picture flaunting a heavy blonde fringe and minimal makeup, captioned: ‘The 90s! A portrait of a mouth full of braces.’ 

In another sweet snap, a youthful Fearne had her arm around her cousin Elisa who she described as ‘one of my fave humans on the planet’.

Fearne was seen with an open-mouthed expression in a third throwback picture with her friend Kalpna.  

And the presenter also shared a snap of her younger brother Jamie Cotton and mother Lin Cotton fooling around on a family holiday. 

Fearne hosts Sounds of the 90s on BBC Radio 2 with star guests including Davina McCall, Joe Wicks and Scarlett Moffatt.  

Last month, the presenter spoke candidly about the challenges her marriage with husband Jesse Wood, 43, 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.’
