Fearne Cotton is quitting Radio 1 after telling her fans she is pregnant with her second child.

The DJ, who is married to Ronnie Wood’s son Jesse, said leaving the station was the start of a “new chapter”.

Writing on her website, she said she had had “the most incredible decade” working on the station.

I feel extremely blessed and happy that Rex will be a big brother, and we get to welcome another Wood into the world.

I would like to thank Radio 1 for being such a great home and most of all to the listeners who have been on this journey with me.

It’s such a kick to know you heard a band on my show first, or that the songs I’ve played have helped you through the day, so thank you.”
