I think modern power couples have been exposed as buisness partners more than anything, the love left a long time ago.

She should have left him years ago when he was sexting a glamour model.

This!!!!!
He’s sleaze bag and she deserves better

Berlinlover · 08/05/2026 18:56

Good for her.

BridgetJonesV2 · 08/05/2026 18:57

Once a cheat and all that.

I have a feeling that now their youngest is 16, she's had enough of his sleaze.

MegMortimer · 08/05/2026 18:58

I always thought she was too good for him.

Daisylove1 · 08/05/2026 19:00

I'm not surprised to hear this!

ShiftingSand · 08/05/2026 19:00

It won’t be long before he’s with a younger woman 🙄

the80sweregreat · 08/05/2026 19:00

The papers will be papping them walking their dogs and looking sad. This call for privacy won’t last long I bet!

Why do people even care? They're not your neighbours. You don't know them personally. People get divorced every day, all day.

Yet here you are.

I’m just a nosey fucker who likes talking about celebrities. Who make their money through exposure and putting statements like this about their personal lives out.

shellyleppard · 08/05/2026 19:03

They never really looked very happy together

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/05/2026 18:47

How does everyone know this

Had no idea about his cheating ways 🤢🤢

Back in the 90s he got caught cheating !
I can't understand why she stuck with him !

Yep. Smacks of staying together until the children are old enough/through young teenage years to deal with a split. It’s such a common thing to do, I’ve seen it lots.

My thoughts exactly.

mindutopia · 08/05/2026 19:05

I didn’t even think they were still together. Didn’t he have a cheating scandal or something years ago?

RedRiverShore6 · 08/05/2026 19:07

I was surprised she stayed with him so long

Yeah fair point actually - should have never opened the thread!

There’s always one. Grin

Fushia123 · 08/05/2026 19:09

I like him and am sorry to hear this news.

Keep up.

GinToBegin · 08/05/2026 19:10

I wonder if it’s a combination of the kids being older and leaving Strictly has got her thinking how much better she could do than that sleazy dick. I know she can be marmite, but I like her (not that I know her, but whatever) and hope she goes on to better things.

And please, please, please let this mean he’ll be taking a break from his radio program. He’s unbearable.

Ah, stay and join in.

If they didn’t want to be talked about, they would have disappeared from the limelight two decades ago, got office jobs and would have been forgotten about. They wanted this, they put out the statement - no one would have actually given a shit if they didn’t. They love it.

This!

Can't stand when celebs moan about being gossiped about

Quit then 🙄🙄🙄

I suspect Tess has been reevaluating a lot of things recently, hence leaving Strictly and now her faithless husband. Good for her.

mixcross · 08/05/2026 19:12

She was always too good for him. Hopefully she will have some peace of mind now.
