A year off for motherhood

Fearne Cotton is to stand down from Celebrity Juice for a year to concentrate on motherhood.

The presenter will also be taking the time off from her Radio 1 show, which will be covered by Sarah Cox.

Celebrity Juice host Leigh Francis has drawn up a list of possible replacements to cover the maternity leave – although many seem more in hope than expectation.

In the guise of keith Lemon, he told The Sun: ‘There are a few names touting around to replace her Cheryl Cole would be great but I don't think that will happen. And Dannii Minogue would be good.

‘Nicole Scherzinger would be great, too, but I don't want to jinx it. I know Kimberley Walsh though – and Davina McCall. We'll have to see.’

Cotton is is expecting her first child with Jesse Wood, the son of Rolling Stone Ronnie The couple started dating last July.
