Fearne Cotton
- Profession: Presenter
- Place/Date of Birth: Northwood, London, 03 September 2020
But adverts calling for willing lonely hearts have appeared on the internet, offering help for those "fed up with endless dates that amount to nothing".
Fearne, 24, and Holly, 26, are best friends and will be hoping to bring their natural chemistry to the screen.
ITV moved to sign former Top Of The Pops presenter Fearne after she impressed alongside Terry Wogan on Making Your Mind Up, the show to find Britain’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Holly currently fronts Greased Lightnin on ITV2, the spin off show to Grease Is The Word.
Those interested in being on the show should email dates@itv.com or call 0870 242 23 25.
Fearne fronting Oscars red carpet coverage - Dec 19 2006
Fearne Cotton is to host British TV coverage of the Oscars, it was announced.
The 24-year-old will chat to Hollywood stars on the red carpet at the February 25 ceremony, where she will front Sky’s coverage of the event from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.
"I can’t wait to get out to LA for the Oscars," she said. "Wearing a gorgeous frock, chatting to all the movie stars and watching all the glamour of the red carpet will be amazing.
"Also the possibility of seeing Johnny Depp in the flesh is mind-blowingly brilliant. I’m looking forward to bringing back all the gossip."
The former host of Top Of The Pops and Love Island will present the red carpet coverage on Sky One plus a highlights programme the following day.
Claudia Winkleman will present coverage of the ceremony itself on Sky Movies.
Nominations for the 79th annual Academy Awards take place on January 23, with Dame Helen Mirren all but certain to get a best actress nod.
Rachel dumped for Fearne? - Sept 8, 2020
Model and presenter Rachel Hunter has reportedly been replaced by Love Island girl Fearne Cotton, for the next series of TV show, Make Me A Supermodel.
The 36-year-old fronted the recent series on Five which helps groom young hopefuls who are competing for a contract with top modelling agency.
However, TV bosses have dropped the brunette in favour of younger presenter Fearne, says The Sun. An insider told the paper: "Rachel did a good job on the first series but we will be doing live Friday night evictions shows and Fearne is great at doing live TV."
Fearne added: "I was hooked on the last series. I love the whole fashion industry, so it is the perfect show for me."
Let’s hope the crew on the show treat her better than on Love Island - where reportedly she was thrown fully clothed into a pool wearing a skimpy white dress, which promptly went see-through!

Fearne has since presented Top of the Pops: Reloaded and Top of the Pops itself as well as making her way on to the grown up TV scene with a job on ITV’s Love Island. She also presents the weekend breakfast show on Radio One. Undoubtedly one of Fearne’s career highlights was presnting Live8 in 2005, where she was chatted up by Robbie Williams live on camera.
However Fearne prefers a more rockstar sort of man and previously dated Lostprophets front man Ian Watkins and Fame Academy contestant Peter Brame.
