Fearne Cotton, a former Radio 1 and Radio 2 DJ, has revealed that she would not return to live TV or radio broadcasting for any amount of money. Cotton, who experienced panic attacks and mental health challenges during her early career, attributes these issues to her work in broadcasting. She has stated that the high price of fame in her twenties led her to therapy, where she continues to seek help. Cotton also recounted a particularly distressing incident where she learned she had been replaced by Alan Carr as the host of BBC's Interior Design Masters by seeing someone else doing her job on TV. Additionally, she expressed concerns about the risk of being cancelled as a reason for avoiding live broadcasting. This revelation was reported by various media outlets including the Times, MailOnline, Independent, NME, and Telegraph, with Rosamund Urwin contributing to the coverage.
