Fearne Cotton’s ex Jesse Wood reveals he’s unemployed & only living on £1,000 a month as he faces speeding charges
FEARNE Cotton’s ex, Jesse Wood, has revealed he is unemployed and living on just £1,000 a month, as he faces speeding charges.
The revelations emerged as the musician, 49, appeared in court on Thursday to face a possible driving ban.
Since his split from TV presenter Fearne 13 months ago, Jesse has struggled to find paid work and is living off savings, the Daily Mail reported.
He was summoned to Lavender Hill Magistrates Court after he was snapped driving at 27mph in a 20mph zone in Earls Court last year.
Representing himself in court, the father-of-four said: “I was due to be employed in 2024 but it got delayed.
“At the moment I’m living off my savings and I am looking to get employment.”
He added that his income recorded on last years tax returns cashed in at around £14,000.
Son of Rolling Stone legend Ronnie Wood, Jesse lives in a £3 million townhouse in Richmond.
He shares two children with Fearne and two from a previous relationship.
Jesse apologised to the court for his fourth speeding incident, which occurred on the A4 Cromwell Road.
The court was told he already had nine points on his license for similar speeding offences recorded in the last year.
Jesse pleaded guilty to the latest offence and received a six-month driving ban and three additional penalty points.
His plea secured him a third of a reduction on the fine which was cut from £134 to £89.
The court ordered him to pay a surcharge of £36 and £130 contribution to court costs.
Fearne announced her split with Jesse on December 16 2024, following 10 years of marriage.
A statement read: “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.”
At the time, The Sun understood Jesse moved out while Fearne remained in the family home in West London.
The Sun previously revealed Fearne, 43, has found love again with TV director Elliot Hegarty.
Meanwhile Jesse made his first public appearance with his new girlfriend, Made In Chelsea alum Gemma Gregory in July 2025.
