Fearne Cotton was born Fearne Marie Cotton on the 3rd of September 1982 in Northwood, London. She was raised in Eastcote, Abbotsbury Gardens and attended the Newnham Primary School and the Ruislip and Haydon School in Eastcote.
Even as a child, Fearne Cotton was already into performing and was already attending ballet lessons at the young age of five. When she was ten, she was already enjoying her weekend drama training. Her major break was in the national talent search for which she was discovered.
In 1998, when she was 16, Frarne landed a presenting stint in The Disney Club program in GMTV in 1998. Diggit soon followed, where she appeared opposite Paule “Des” Ballard. Several children shows followed including Draw Your Own Toons bu CITV and the series Mouse.
Cotton has also presented many telethons. In Jul. 2005 (6 years ago) she presented Live 8 in Hyde Park. During the event, the British pop-star Robbie Williams flirted with her in front of the cameras, causing much speculation in the media at the time, but which was later repudiated by the pair. She has also hosted the BBC's annual telethon, Children in Need, alongside Terry Wogan and Natasha Kaplinsky, since 2005 (6 years ago). In 2006 (5 years ago), she designed the official BBC Children in Need t-shirt - featuring a henna style design of the charity's mascot, Pudsey Bear. In 2008 (3 years ago), she hosted a Strictly Come Dancing special as part of Children in Need 2008 (3 years ago).
She has hosted parts of the Red Nose Day telethon for Comic Relief (2005, 2007 (4 years ago), and 2009 (2 years ago)) presenting several strands alongside Jonathan Ross and Lenny Henry. In 2009 (2 years ago), she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, alongside Ben Shephard, Gary Barlow, Alesha Dixon, Ronan Keating, Denise Van Outen and Chris Moyles, and Girls Aloud (29 walls) members Cheryl Cole (12 walls) and Kimberley Walsh. Cotton and others collapsed from altitude sickness during the five-day climb. She was in the first group (with Van Outen, Shephard and Cole) to reach the summit and helped raise £3.3m. Cotton filmed a video piece for Comic Relief about Malaria. She visited a children's Hospital in Uganda where she witnessed a young child in pain through Malaria. Cotton had to walk out the room and collapsed as she did so but was able to continue shortly after. The child died later. Cotton also recorded her voice for the BT Speaking Clock to raise funds for Comic Relief.
