Fearne Cotton showed off her age-defying looks in a striking cover shoot as she reflected on being the most content now she is in her forties.
The presenter, 42, who rose to fame back in the 90s on children’s TV aged just 15, cut an edgy figure in a vinyl red skirt and threw it back to the eighties with blue eyeshadow for one look.
Fearne showed off her lithe figure as she posed for the camera for the cover of Fault Magazine and revealed why now in her forties, she is happier than ever.
‘There’s definitely a cliché about your forties giving you a better sense of self because you have more life experience. Let me tell you, my life has been crazy, both personally and publicly,’ she said.
‘And through it all, you develop resilience and a desire to advocate for what you believe in.

‘That’s the beauty of getting older. I actually enjoy my forties. Sure, my body isn’t the same as it used to be, but that’s just part of life.’
For one look, Fearne looked incredible in a mesh Karina Bond dress and matching veil, while in another she rocked a Dolce and Gabbana trench coat.

Fearne also spoke about living in the spotlight for more than two decades and what her main flaw is as she prepares to launch her first book, Scripted.
The TV star said: ‘I’ve been in the public eye for 26 years, and it can be awful and soul-destroying at times.
‘But you learn to take it with a grain of salt. After being in the public eye for so long, you realize that a lot of criticism isn’t really about you. It’s more about other people projecting their own issues onto you.
‘If my work sparks something in someone, that’s for them to deal with. I never write to be controversial or cause harm.’
Fearne admitted she is terrified of getting negative reviews for her book, set to be released on Thursday.

The romance novel follows the lead character Jade Shaw as her life begins to follow a manuscript word for word.
Fearne said of her fear of getting a negative reception to her debut novel: I need to be disciplined and avoid looking at reviews. In the end, I’m not a brain surgeon. I’m not changing government policy or anything that serious. I just want people to enjoy the book, maybe even find it thought-provoking. If they don’t, that’s okay too.
‘Luckily, or maybe unluckily, I’m very used to criticism.’
Of writing her first novel, Fearne added: ‘When I was working in mainstream media, there’s so little space to say what you really want to say, a lot of the time.
‘I started working when I was a teenager, and I was some random kid from the suburbs. I felt like I couldn’t say what I really wanted to say, and it’s taken me to get to my forties to work that one out.’
