The presenter got into the spirit of the event, as she showcased a fake moustache underneath her nose as she embraced her husband Jesse Woods. The star's husband had also started on his own growth, with some hairs visible just above his top lip. "It has never been more important to support the physical and mental health of the men in our lives, this November and all year round," Fearne explained.

The star made the announcement as she stood with the award, and admitted that it came as a surprise to her, especially since she hadn't won in the other categories she was up for.
"When the two awards @happyplaceofficial were up for didn't win I totally relaxed and just thought 'oh well, maybe next year'. I then went to go for a wee and my manager Holly told me I wasn't allowed, which I thought was rather harsh," she explained.
