Fearne Cotton returns with her Fearne and… series tonight as she meets Hollywood starlet Mischa Barton. The TV presenter visits former OC star Mischa at her home in LA and goes driving about in her Cadillac. Fearne then visists the actress while she is in London and discovers that she was born in the city and her sister is a barrister there. As Fearne spends more time with Mischa, she starts to ask her about more sensitive subjects like her weight, which has been up and down over the last few years. To explain her choices of subjects for her show, Fearne said: “Each person I choose to follow around has to be someone I’m genuinely intrigued by. Someone I think people talk about a lot but maybe don’t know the whole story.” Fearne and Mischa Barton will be broadcast tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.

She visits Mischa at her home in LA and goes out in her Cadillac with her and the actress explains that she is constantly living under the gaze of the paparazzi. Fearne also visits Mischa when she is in London and discovers that she was born in the city and her sister is a barrister there. Mischa tells Fearne: “Growing up in New York but having a very English family and background has really served me well, I think.” Fearne visits the office where Mischa designs her handbags and tries to find out about her night out the evening before with singer Amy Winehouse. The presenter also goes with Mischa to one of her London boltholes and gets to meet some of her friends. Plus, as Fearne spends more time with her, she starts to question her about more sensitive subjects like her weight, which has been a hot topic of debate in the press.
