I do agree mrscampbell if that is the case, we actually don't do what she thinks the situation is. The number of times I have heard people say 'they are in separate rooms' 'its been over years' etc etc. Some people do actually buy that crap.

user1471565182 · 13/10/2020 10:29

After watching that video of his house and seeing him just ignoring a dog coming towards him ive decided hes a natural bellend.

Requinblanc · 13/10/2020 10:32

I never understand why a pretty, much younger woman goes for a middle-aged guy who is married man with children. Surely they are plenty of single men to have fun with...

He looks like a fool and she looks like a selfish home-wrecker.

If I was his wife I would be speaking to my lawyer right now and would have thrown all his stuff out of the house already. To know that she was cheated on is bad enough but to have it splashed over the papers must make it even more painful.

Oh my god my vagina just sealed itself shut reading that. What an absolute prick. Ignore everything a man does between 40-50. Guess he was getting in a last hurrah! I did enjoy how the journalist obviously found him skin crawlingly vile which was so clear throughout the article eg mentioning he talks with his mouth full, what an obnoxious dickhead. Surprised he can fit any food in with all the shit coming out of it. Bleurgh.

user1471565182 · 13/10/2020 10:48

I think he thinks hes Richard Burton doing cliched Rome stuff the silly old twat.

Nikori · 13/10/2020 10:59

I can't believe they deleted my comment. Confused
I just mentioned that there was a Blind Item on the Bind Gossip site called "Factors that make the affair even worse" that may be about him. I won't link to it in case I get deleted again.

nipersvest · 13/10/2020 11:09

I'm dissapointed, used to like him, now he just seems like such a sleeze.

Not keen on Lily James either, find her overrated as an actress, can't understand why she's getting so many parts.

Homer28 · 13/10/2020 11:16

Item in the Daily Mail (shudders) that him and the wife are very much together.

Odd.

dayswithaY · 13/10/2020 11:18

Oddly enough, this reminds me of a recent pap shot where LJ was in the park appearing to snort something. Billie Piper was also there, it all seemed very staged and it was around the time that BP's show "I Hate Suzie" aired where she plays - an actress who gets caught taking drugs. As BP has children and a troublesome ex husband I can understand she didn't want to be snapped snorting an unknown powder so maybe LJ stepped up to perform the wild child role.

The Rome pics seem very similar. Why would her manager sit back and let them behave like this in public and be photographed if they didn't want it out there? Someone's getting paid and someone's sending a message. They're probably just using him, the clueless chump. His ego has allowed him to think she's madly in love and now he's just done himself like a kipper. Karma, baby.

Noitjustwontdo · 13/10/2020 11:27

He’s definitely not my type. I’m the same age as Lily and I really don’t see what she sees in him, I agree with PP who said he’d be invisible to me. I have colleagues his age and there’s no way I find any of them remotely attractive.

I feel so sorry for his poor wife, I can’t even imagine the pain of your husband ending your marriage via the press. What a bastard.

Homer28 · 13/10/2020 11:30

@noitjustwontdo The marriage isn't over. They are still together - Gave a note to that effect to the press.

LunaNorth · 13/10/2020 11:32

I used to quite fancy him, but on those pics he has a big sticky-out lady bum.

Eurgh.

JenniferSantoro · 13/10/2020 11:36

@Nikori

I don't think they actually live in the castle. The Mail says their family home is in Wiltshire.
The live in her ancestral home which is a castle.
LunaNorth · 13/10/2020 11:39

He went to Eton, but he’s not posh.

His dad made a fortune in Sheffield making bus shelter roofs, or something.

Veryconfusednow · 13/10/2020 11:40

Photo of him and his wife showing a united front outside their home this morning Confused

SinisterBumFacedCat · 13/10/2020 11:48

I hope his wife is giving him hell in the castle. I always got incredibly bad vibes off Lily James, can see why now. What a pair of dicks.

WorriedMum1984 · 13/10/2020 11:53

Ughhhh the pictures of them outside their front door kissing are probably the cringiest thing I have seen in my life. How embarrassing

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 13/10/2020 12:04

The United Front press call just reminds me on Sir Norman Fry.

Painful.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 13/10/2020 12:05

I know Little Britain is problematic but on this character they just nailed it.

LongHotSummerJustPassedMeBy · 13/10/2020 12:05

So if he and his wife are still together then what was that - a publicity stunt? Even if it was, it was still in very bad taste, especially now when many people are trying to keep their families safe and certainly can’t jet off to Rome to have fun on a bloody scooter.

newnameforthis123 · 13/10/2020 12:06

Wtf?! God he's skin crawlingly smug isn't he? The series of photos from this morning are utterly bizarre. Acting like they're on the balcony at a royal wedding?

OlegBurov · 13/10/2020 12:07

Like a Tory MP in the mid nineties 🙈

longwayoff · 13/10/2020 12:08

Oh that interview! Eton and Harrow specialising in turning out these misogynistic dinosaurs. Instilling self confidence is, presumably, what parents are paying for. So that's what it looks like.

TheSpottedZebra · 13/10/2020 12:09

Bloody hell those kiss pics! Almost as bad as the 'Posh and Becks cavorting in the snow' photo set.

There is a particularly lovely one of him where he looks like the dictionary definition of smug git.
And awful ones of her looking gutted as she walks out of the house clutching her 'our marriage is fine!' piece of paper.

IcedPurple · 13/10/2020 12:10

I knew there was something odd going on. An obviously staged 'pap' set-up, followed within hours by statements from a 'friend' about how 'devastated' the wife was, and now there they are posing for happy couple photos outside their home? All this, for a pair of B list actors? We're not exactly talking Brad and Angie in 2005, are we?
