Fearne Cotton reflected on the moment

Fearne Cotton has revealed she still owns her scandalous Love Island dress.

The presenter, 43, presented the second series of the original celebrity format alongside Patrick Kielty in 2006, 11 years before the ITV show rebooted in its current format with members of the public.

While hosting the final, Fearne suffered a wardrobe malfunction, leaving her struggling to protect her modesty on live television.

She recalled the incident in a YouTube video this week while giving fans a look inside her wardrobe.

Pulling out the white minidress, she shared: ‘Some of you younger ones may not know that I hosted the original version of Love Island.

“During one of the finals live on TV, I was pushed into the pool at the end and my dress showed through, live on TV… Scandalous!”

Fearne replaced Kelly Brook as host of the second series of Celebrity Love Island, which saw Bianca Gascoigne and Calum Best crown the winners.

The show was revived in 2015 with Caroline Flack at the helm, with Laura Whitmore taking over for three seasons after Caroline resigned and then tragically took her own life in 2020.

It is currently hosted by Maya Jama and the format has also spawned several spin-off versions, Love Island Games and Love Island: All Stars.

While Fearne was a familiar face on a number of shows in the 1900s, in recent years she has stopped performing.

Last June, the podcast host revealed that “there is no money in the world” that would make her return to live radio or television, admitting that “all of her mental health issues” were due to work.

The star has spoken in a very candid new interview about her struggles and panic attacks early in her career when she was a children’s TV presenter for GMTV, CITV and CBBC.

She said it’s impossible to be in the public eye when you’re young and “get over it in one piece,” as she admitted big red carpet events never seemed “safe” to her.

talking to The times She said: “If you want to have a lot of mental health problems, come out into the public eye very young, because you will have them all.”

‘There’s no way you’re going to get through it in one piece… All my mental health problems are because of my job. Nothing else. It does not favor mental balance.

Fearne went on to explain that live radio and television are no longer for her due to the “level of risk and judgement,” and said her “nervous system can’t handle” being thrown into a “lion’s den.”

He added: “Because cancel culture exists, you can do one thing and that’s it, you’re dead.” Bye bye!

“Everyone is waiting for you to get angry so they can point the finger and say you’ve always been terrible.”

The blonde beauty also reflected on her mental health struggles in her early years, saying she didn’t sleep the night before live radio and would end up feeling sick, which turned into “anxiety and panic attacks.”

This continued until she started to wonder why she was doing it to herself and decided to walk away.

Since then, Fearne has focused on her popular podcast Happy Place, in which she interviews different celebrities, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Stephen Fry and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has also disdained her own festival.

Fearne presented the second series of the original celebrity format alongside Patrick Kielty in 2006, 11 years before the ITV show rebooted in its current format with members of the public.
