Fearne Cotton's ex Jesse Wood expecting a baby with Made In Chelsea star Gemma Gregory

Fearne Cotton’s ex-husband Jesse Wood is expecting a baby with his Made In Chelsea star girlfriend Gemma Gregory.

Presenter Cotton, 44, and musician Wood, 49, split in December 2024 after 10 years of marriage and share two children - Rex, 12, and Honey, nine.

On Thursday, Gregory, 40, announced she is pregnant with Wood’s child. The couple began dating shortly after Wood’s separation.

She showed off her baby bump while posing in a crop top in an Instagram snap captioned, “Incoming”.

Gregory - who had a brief stint on Made In Chelsea in series two and three - also shared a selfie of her and Wood smiling in a golf buggy and wrote: “Made by these muppets.”

The reality star has an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship, while Wood has kids with Cotton and two children with his first wife, Tilly Wood.

Gregory appeared in several episodes of Made In Chelsea in 2011 and 2012 alongside the original E4 cast comprising Spencer Matthews, Caggie Dunlop and Jamie Laing.

She was known for partying on the show before abruptly leaving and returning “sober” in the next series.

The designer is the London-born daughter of actor Paul Gregory, and was previously romantically linked to Nicholas Knatchbull, son and heir of Earl Mountbatten.

Wood is the son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.

The couple went public with their romance last April with a sun-soaked selfie captioned: “Bloody love this one.”

Sources at the time claimed their relationship progressed quickly after Wood and Cotton’s separation.

Cotton said of their split in 2024: "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 always will be our children."

The broadcaster - who had two jaw tumours removed in 2024 - is now dating television director Elliot Hegarty.

Last month, Cotton discussed the pressure she feels to “stay financially on track” after splitting from Wood.

“That's the thing I have to wrestle with… and I even made the decision last week where I said yes to something that I really want to do and also, you know, it's important that I'm financially on track, and I'm on my own, and, you know, doing it properly,” she said on her Happy Place podcast.

"But you know, my kids are actually at an age where I can talk to them, and I'm like, 'Look, I'm going to take this job and I'm not going to be around quite as much in June and July,' and they were like, 'Yeah, yeah, don't worry, we get it, it's all good,' and we had that conversation that took a bit of stress away.

"But even after this podcast, I've got three podcasts today, and I'm going to kill myself getting home as quickly as I can, to then race to my mate Ella's house, who picked up the kids for me, and give them dinner, to then come back and try and make up for me not being there - and we are all pushing ourselves."
