Fearne Cotton has admitted her marriage to Jesse Wood went through a ''rough patch'' recently but they have come out stronger.
The 37-year-old presenter, who has children Rex (5) and Honey (3) with her spouse, says the couple struggled to find time for one another and ended up ''desperately clinging on'' to their relationship.
In her column for Red magazine, the former Celebrity Juice star said: "Love takes hard work - and no one wants to hear that.
''This year, Jesse and I hit a rough patch - he was away, touring relentlessly, I was trying to keep my own career going while looking after our kids and we were both desperately clinging on to our marriage.''
The couple's issues were eventually confronted with a two-hour ''screaming match'' where they were concerned their ''love had gone''.
She added: ''One blustery and grey day, this culminated in a screaming match in our local park, which lasted about two hours until we both broke and cried.
''Luckily, my husband is the most emotionally literate person, so we can be completely vulnerable in front of one another.
''In the midst of this gargantuan row, I think we both wondered where the love had gone and worried that it might not come back.''
Cotton said through "talking and understanding" the couple sorted things out and "found ourselves, strangely, in an even deeper kind of love".
''But, through talking and understanding one another, we broke through the s**t bit and found ourselves, strangely, in an even deeper kind of love.
''We knew each other that bit better, we respected each other that bit more."
''In that moment, we both stopped to remember that we are passionate in these situations because we care deeply.''
In December, Cotton announced she was leaving her gig as a panelist on Celebrity Juice after 10 years to pursue other projects.
