Fearne Cotton has given fans an insight into how the pandemic affected her sex life with husband Jesse Wood.

The star joined Alan Carr on his podcast Life's a Beach and opened up about changes to her relationship since the Covid-19 pandemic began.

When asked where she goes for 'sexy time' or to feel romantic abroad with her husband, Fearne laughed explaining: "Sexy time hasn't happened for so long in terms of going away anywhere."

She continued: "I think for me and my husband literally booking into the local Travelodge would make us feel sexy at the moment because we've had no time alone because of the ridiculous pandemic."

Like many parents, since early 2020 Fearne has juggled working from home with home schooling her children while schools were closed in the UK - all of which leaves little time for romance for busy parents.

Prior to the pandemic, Fearne revealed Paris was her go-to for a romantic break with her husband.

"Before all this craziness Paris, probably in a very cliched way, was our go-to. Not every weekend, but maybe once a year, but it felt well special because it's so chic and beautiful. The architecture is amazing and all the restaurants are really beautiful, and the food's amazing. And it just has an air of something gorgeous," Fearne added.

Fearne and Jesse share daughter Honey and son Rex. Fearne is also step-mum to Arthur and Lola, Jesse's children from a previous relationship.

The TV presenter and broadcaster often gives fans a glimpse into her family life on Instagram, sharing snaps with her children and stories of life as a working mum. During the Covid-19 lockdown earlier this year, Fearne paid tribute to her husband Jesse on Instagram.

Fearne wrote: "We've been on an unofficial tag teaming rota who home schools/cooks/tidies up, giving each other time and space to go off and write/play guitar/do Zoom meetings/podcasts etc... We might mess up, get grumpy, be behind on work projects, let the kids watch too much TV when they're hating home school, snap at each other and feel exhausted most days but there is no-one I'd rather do all of that with."
