I don't really understand your OP?
Has your husband remarried? If so why the first?
Also putting a name in the OP is very identifiable? Is this fictional?

I got a surprise when I saw his new wife and family, must say I thought the first Mrs S seemed lovely and she was far more attractive than him on 'not easy being green.'

If I understand you right, a minor league geek celeb has left his wife and started a new family with a younger woman?

So what? Marriages fail all the time, no reason to drag up the details of this one. No one's business but theirs.

Fwiw, I quite liked his telly stuff.

The first Mrs S is v lovely and from what I understand has a new partner herself. I think she still goes by her married name, and is incredibly knowledgable about bees.

yes, was a bit of surprise to see the original Mrs Strawbridge had been so quietly replaced but perhaps that's the way she wanted it, who knows. Maybe it was a blessed relief to get rid of him. Yes, OP, I agree yuck. YANBU.

According to Wikipedia they separated in 2010 so hardly breaking news.

I just had to google his son as I remember him being rather gorgeous in Not Easy Being Green.

What a horrible post

I found it weird. Can't he find another way to make money? Very deja vue. Yawn.

Well that's disappointing.

She might have instigated the split and be over the bloody moon. Who knows?

These people are so insignificant, it's not like they've let the public down by failing to keep their marriage going. They're not exactly role models and none of us knows what has gone on, so why the interest and disgust?

What a horrible thread.

Are your the first MrsS, OP? <squinty eyes>

Other than that, I have no idea who/what you are on about

Christ, is he only 56?

He needs to lose the 'tache, he looks quite twinkly eyed underneath all the face fungus.

Unless he's got bees living in it, or summat.

Angel Adoree?

I'd be willing to bet a fiver that's not her real name she looks like a burlesque artist

I don't know who you're talking about (apart from what I've picked up on this thread) but do you know anything about his first marriage breakdown? If not, how do you know it's a midlife crisis?

We have no idea why they broke up.

However, I did think that his second wife was actually his daughter when I first saw the programme I liked her though. And I'm very envious of their new home.

"There were some surreal moments, such as when Angel had to knock through a 2ft-thick wall to construct their own honeymoon suite. “My girl’s got a big chest and that jackhammer wobbles and she just jiggled away,” laughs Dick. "

Eurgh. I'd bloody kill my DP for that.

Their children are enormously cute.

<gets a bit obsessed>

another one who has NO IDEA what / who you are talking about???

googling the phrase "My girl’s got a big chest and that jackhammer wobbles and she just jiggled away" took me to

and i'm still non the wiser? who are these people?

Oh, I remember Scrapheap Challenge! <happy>

"He’s like a little rabbit. He just keeps going on and on.”

Yes, my mind is in the gutter.
But I want their chateau

He was a kind of guest presenter on Scrapheap Challenge and then it snowballed into a career for him.

My ex was in the same Regiment in the Army.

Couldn't say a bad word about him.

Awful post.

She was a successful designer who won funding on Dragon's Den. They met after he and his wife had split

She doesn't come across well, but hey, it's his life. Maybe his first wife found herself well rid of him. Bit of a typical spoony he is, the new young wife and young family when he's already a grandfather.
