Too think that the Hollywoods on Lorraine were a bit cringeworthy??

Paul Hollywoods wife has just been on ITV Lorraine doing a cookery slot, Paul then appeared and tasted the food, I was a bit Hmm
He was shagging someone else not long ago, if I was her I'd keep off TV for a bit to try and sort my life out, I bet Lorraine was desperate to ask them about his philandering!
Just found it all abit cringy

Yep I found it really cringy to watch. Also I was thinking wtf is she suddenly becoming a tv cook.

rookiemater · 06/01/2014 09:17

I do hate it when celebrity chefs wives appear doing cooking as well - seems to be particularly popular when the husband is a known philanderer aka Gordon Ramsay's wife.
It wasn't so long ago that his wife was having a very visible social media fight about him and his new ( now ex ) mistress, so I agree with you that a bit of dignity from both of them would not go amiss.

Oh yes it was really uncomfortable to watch I agree.

"we eat chicken, it brings the family together"

I find not publicly humiliating your wife tends to be more effective than chicken.

Sad to see her simpering over the twat as well.

Mignonette · 06/01/2014 09:22

She is following the Tana Ramsay school of marriage.

My husband is a celebrity brain surgeon/builder/townplanner/chef.

I'll just toddle off and mend a brain/build a house/design a roundabout/write a cook book.

Easy.

CalamityKate · 06/01/2014 09:23

I'm a bit disappointed in her tbh.

I thought she handled herself very well when it was all happening and loved the pisstaking photo she did of herself looking all winsome in an obvious pisstake of Marcella ValidDroid or whatever her name is.

I don't care how much I liked someone's bread; I wouldn't have had him back after how he behaved.

YouStayClassySanDiego · 06/01/2014 09:25

I didn't see it but I'm surprised that she's done this, was she a chef before the shit hit the fan?

Mignonette · 06/01/2014 09:25

I was a bit more Hmm about the way she handled it as it can never be great for children to be in the middle of that.

Bad enough what he did and I understand her need to lash out but she shouldn't have publicly attacked him in a manner so visible to their son. It will be searchable forever.

They are both childish and selfish.

sparklysilversequins · 06/01/2014 09:26

Not sure why she should keep off TV and sort her life out, him on the other hand.......

Ledkr · 06/01/2014 09:26

He's now a big smuggy smug pants too.
Got away with it nicely didn't he? Now she's feeding him chicken.

She won't catch on will she though? Not much personality and there's not much healthy about mayonnaise soaked chicken, egg would be much healthier.

Ledkr · 06/01/2014 09:27

sparkly yes I agree! why should she keep quiet?

Mignonette · 06/01/2014 09:34

Sorting your marriage out via the medium of TV is not the best way to build a happy child.

They are no better than the poor sods appearing on Jeremy Kyle.

They should BOTH shut up about it in public.

honeybeeridiculous · 06/01/2014 09:35

I didn't say she had to keep quiet, she can shout as loud as she likes, I said stay off TV for a bit, she's not a chef FFS and I would be embarrassed that I'd taken the slime ball back and paraded him on telly feeding him flippin chicken! Have some pride woman

Punkatheart · 06/01/2014 09:35

He is truly having his cake and eating it.

ExcuseTypos · 06/01/2014 09:39

I don't condone him having an affair at all (I find him very slimy and self important) but I have heard on the grapevine that his wife isn't the easiest person in the world to get along with.

Again I do NOT think this is an excuse to have have an affair, but we don't know what goes on in a marriage. It agree that they are both immature and selfish.

honeybeeridiculous · 06/01/2014 10:00

Maybe they deserve each other then Typos Hmm

usuallyright · 06/01/2014 10:24

they've both said that the effect on their son wen they were splitting up, was absolutely horrendous.
I'm glad they're back together. He sounds as though he's completely embarrassed and mortified by his own stupidity and we don't have a clue what conversations they've had behind closed doors.

Ledkr · 06/01/2014 10:27

My bits would have been mortified if I'd taken their dad back after he'd cheated. Their feelings were one of my reasons for not having the cheating twat back but they were older tbf and ow was in their peer group Hmm

Punkatheart · 06/01/2014 11:14

Your bits, Ledkr? A freudian slip there. I wished for a while that my OH had come back - the effect on my dd was horrendous too but her father did not care and would not listen. Now she is under a shrink and has lost her college place. So Paul Hollywood is a better man than mine and believe me, that is a very odd statement from me. I loathe Hollywood.

Nancy66 · 06/01/2014 11:26

I'd be really pissed off if I spent years learning my craft and then my other half decided to just cash in and have a go themselves like Joolz Oliver, Tana Ramsay and now this one.

usuallyright · 06/01/2014 11:29

I think it takes a lot of courage and strength to forgive and move forward after an affair. Obviously it depends on the individual circumstances and whether the adulterer feels genuine remorse and is still in love with his wife, but most kids want their parents to stay together and people always massively underestimate the negative effect of divorce on children. I've seen it with friends. The mumsnet advice with affairs is always LTB, but I think it's sometimes salvageable.

LessMissAbs · 06/01/2014 11:29

The world of celebrity cooking is a strange one...

Perhaps the pair are star struck, what with fame coming relatively late in life, on the back of little or no talent, and for them, this provides adequate compensation for whatever was previously lacking in their marriage to cause the affair.

Ledkr · 06/01/2014 11:30

Haha yes my boys I meant.

Your poor dd. do you think him returning would have helped that much though? Especially if things had been strained.

My dc all suffered in some way too, even the baby developed mouth ulcers and cried spontaneously if she heard sad music in the car.

They don't realise all the pain they cause do they?

My ex was completely puzzled by my suggestion that he carefully handle telling the children that ow was pregnant, he just didn't get it al all.

scallie1973 · 06/01/2014 11:34

very odd and so excruciating when lorraine said "so glad you've worked things out" ugh

sparklysilversequins · 06/01/2014 11:36

Hmm and I would be a bit pissed off if I had spent years taking care of the domestic arrangements and the OH just pissed off with another chef. Cooking and baking is what his profile is, not sure why she shouldn't take advantage of that just because its "his".
