She normally lives life in the fast line.
But presenter Fearne Cotton is so anxious about her road antics she avoids driving on motorways. Crikey!
She says: “One of my biggest fears is driving along the motorway – I haven’t done that for about two years. I will get back to it, but I don’t feel ready or clear enough to give it a go yet.”
She reveals another anxiety, admitting she can’t get to sleep at night unless her husband Jesse Wood, 42, is by her side.

Fearne, 37, explains: “If I have got something nerve-wracking the next day, then I get anxious and I can make things feel nerve-wracking even if they are not. I anticipate him coming back home and that is enough to make me not be able to sleep.
“I am like, ‘Will I hear him, will I be in bed and will he wake me up?’ But he won’t wake me up because I will still be bloody awake.
“So there is stupid stuff like that, or if I have to be on radio the next
day, it will start my heart racing and it is a very physical thing.”
Mum-of-two Fearne has been battling anxiety for years, dabbling with different alternative therapies, but says she hasn’t had a bad attack for four or five months.
She adds: “I will just stay in the moment and it’s sort of been all right recently.” Glad to hear things are looking up. Maybe it’s time to turn things up a gear...
