Thanks for posting that link, particularly his ‘moody looking selfie’. I have had to walk out of the office because my sniggering at the ‘moody looking selfie’ was disrupting my colleagues. I wonder how long he spent practising in a mirror? Do you think he said, ‘smoulder, Paul, smoulder’ to himself?

I truly wonder if she’s going to mention his gut.

Truly.

As an aside; I have a weird respect for her. She’s mentioned his behaviour was a touch controlling and she’s pulled the plug at the ultimate controlling move - the NDA.

I get the impression that she’s angry at him and is going to show him what for and publicly humiliate him, thus giving him a taste of the medicine he gave to his wife of 20+ years.

How depressingly predictable from start to finish.

Just a suggestion, if you're a young beauty in your early twenties and a rich but sleazy old goat has abandoned wife and family for you, take note of how he treats them. Your turn will come.

crisscrosscranky · 08/08/2019 12:49

I have no real interest in either of them but I suspect there is not as much money there as people think (even less so after his wife rightfully receives 50%). If you sign an NDA that stops you courting the paps for money and your 'rich' boyfriend isn't rich anymore there seems little point in sticking around!

TheClitterati · 08/08/2019 13:00

Calling a woman a "money grabber" because she doesn't want to sign a heavy, binding and silencing legal document (no doubt that her own lawyer if she had one would advise not to sign) as demanded of her by her so called partner - that is pure old school misogyny.

An NDA like this prevents you from talking about your OWN LIFE.

Dowser · 08/08/2019 13:02

Quite funny actually.
Especially Karen the chicken as my ex left me for a Karen the shagbag lol
As for keeping ex’s name..I’ve kept mine as I’ve been known by it for 45 years and I ain’t changing it now
Even though I’ve remarried. My children and grandchildren are called it, all my bank accounts and official documents are in it ...so why not

Daffodil2018 · 08/08/2019 13:35

An NDA like this prevents you from talking about your OWN LIFE.

But that is true whether the person being asked to sign one is a man or a woman. I am sure plenty of men sign NDAs - or likewise refuse to do so. There is no misogyny in what I said so get off your high horse.

I think it's quite funny that Bake Off is being advertised while Paul is getting his just desserts 😁

How dignified Paul is. Changing the locks and denying access to the hot tub!

Do you think Summer and her mum somehow knew that they would be photographed on their dog walking trip? Surely not!

I suspect what happens with men like this is, they look for somebody who will constantly tell them that they are wonderful because of their stupid over-inflated egos. It is easy to see why Paul’s ex-wife didn’t do that (he was on the back foot after dipping his wick with the Mexican bake off presenter of the US show, and his ex wife doesn’t look like the obedient little woman type.)

Summer comes along whilst he’s arranging his wife’s birthday do and is suitably impressed and subservient. He thinks, yes, THIS is the sort of relationship I deserve, with a woman who worships me and will never tell me off, ever. Then when she goes off script he behaves like a big spoilt baby!

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 09/08/2019 10:01

His young ex will end up on I'm a celebrity or similar

Iamthewombat · 09/08/2019 10:04

Her fame might not last that long! She will need to strike whilst the iron is hot. I hope that the ghostwriter has already been briefed.

Dandelion1993 · 09/08/2019 10:10

It just all makes me laugh so much.

Like I said in a previous thread on the subject, we live in a village nearby so see her out a lot and his ex wife.

She was clearly in it for the money and instead of marrying him and getting his money that way, she can now just sell a sob story and do I'm a celeb.

I hope his ex wife feels good though. Whenever you see her out she's really friendly and lovely and deserves to be happy with someone much better.

longwayoff · 09/08/2019 10:17

Marina Hyde in The Guardian yesterday had a word or two to say. For ultra masochists amongst us it contained a link to a Mail interview (yup, in the Guardian!) with GregG Wallace and wife number 3. The comments in the Guardian are LOL. Cheered me up immensely this morning.

Lllot5 · 09/08/2019 10:22

Is ruby the one who cried and made doe eyed looks at him all through one series of bake off?
We really all need to stop reading this trash then and only then will papers stop printing it.

Iamthewombat · 09/08/2019 10:34

No, we need to read MORE trash. Because then the papers will print more hilarious details, which would please me enormously (eg the tug of love over Karen the chicken)

Sittingontopoftheworld · 09/08/2019 10:43

What I’ve found hilarious is the ‘lookalike mum’ turning up on all those crop-topped dog walks and looking like she’s having the time of her life. Did she beg to come along as she weally weally wants to be famous, too?

Lllot5 · 09/08/2019 10:44

Karen the chicken is a tantalising titbit I agree.
But it’s so much shit. Stop giving them brain room.

longwayoff · 09/08/2019 10:55

Sorry. This country is about to throw itself off a cliff, recession beginning already. We need brain fluff as some relief. Bring on contemptuous Ruby, Karen the Chicken and doe -eyed Mum and Daughter and Bring on the Empty Horses!

Iamthewombat · 09/08/2019 11:11

Agreed. Lowbrow culture in controlled doses is good for you.

On a similar subject I am keen to find out the exact detail of Dawn Ward’s (real housewives of Cheshire) attack on Sinitta with a napkin at a London restaurant. It was a couple of years ago and resulted in a court appearance. Why has the backstory not been reported? The public (me) demand to know!
