She's been having an affair with her husbands cousin, who has dumped her (gone back to his wife) and she claims to be heartbroken.
I've never like the woman, but there's something about this story that makes me pity her. If I was married to her and she announced she wanted to go on Big Brother I would have run for the hills at that point.

Disappear into a field in some far-flung place and stop embarrassing herself, her husband and everyone who knows her.

Learn discretion, self-respect and dignity.

Shut the fuck up.

I think shut up would wrap it up nicely. My goodness. I lead a sheltered life. .

I am fascinated that she has so little self awareness. No filter at all!

Get some help? I don't think she's a well woman. Who he hell behaves like that then talks to the media so openly about it?!

She seems quite a sad old gal, doesn't she? Big Bro, kissing that black fella, going with husband's cousin...

Whatever she's looking for it isn't worth this. The grass isn't greener.

If she's not happy in her marriage then just fucking leave or,work it out. Don't hurt people, including yourself.

And shut up.

I had no idea who she was so had a quick Google, I think keep your crap out of the press would just about cover it.

She's just intent on embarrassing herself and those around her, she should disappear for a while and give us all a rest, nobody is remotely interested in either her love of wine or ugly past it men, I pity her kids.

I think the woman is a complete car-crash. However, she is raising a child with Autism, which may or may not be quite stressful, and she is currently recovering from a similar injury to me (from two years ago) and I don't envy her in that one bit.

Her ability to draw attention to herself is unparalleled. I know that the Speaker is a ceremonial and significant figure in the HoC but that doesn't make her the equivalent of the First Lady. Lady Muck, more like.

Think about your husband and your children for a start, let him go because you clearly detest the poor bastard and be on your own for a while.

Divorce your husband. Be on your own for a good while and get some counselling. Understand that not all attention is good attention.

I feel sorry for her. If it were her husband shagging her cousin, she'd have had to think what to do next, behind closed doors no doubt.

Her humiliation and the double rejection is a high price. Although, may be not, what has she lost, two relationships that weren't all that to begin with ??

I hope that she learns to be content on her own.

  1. Shut the fuck up.
  2. Grow the fuck up.
  3. Stop being so self absorbed and me, me, me.
  4. Divorce your husband and let him find someone nice.
  5. Leave the country.
  6. Go and do Dancing with the Stars in a country far, far away like Heather Mills did.
  7. Learn that there is such a thing as a dignified silence.

Fell sorry for her kid(s?). "Mum had affair with husband's cousin" will soon turn into "your mum and dad were brother and sister" on the playground.

I already felt sorry for the kids, as I do for the children of any 'meedya' types of no obvious talent beyond self promotion.

Feel sorry for the kids and the husband (can't stand the man) but she shouldn't have gone public.

I don't think it's right for any woman to behave in a certain way because of her husbands job, so when she first started with the, "sexy" photo shoots I accepted her right as an individual to do so. But, she was only in that position because of her husbands job and media profile - she exploited the opportunity.
Of dear lord that women needs a good friend at her side right now.
