those women who say their sex lives were fine but husbands still had affairs, i bet the husbands didn't think the sex lives were fine.

She's certainly stupid enough to be fooled by whoever manages her to talk shit and personal stuff to get attention.

the cynic in me wonders if this was all a publicity stunt to tie in with the new series of Long Lost Family. It certainly got everybody talking about her didn't it?

I don't think its low self esteem, I just think she is that stupid.

Talk about her sex life and outdated views.

I've just read through and I think it's all very sad.

On top of everything else she's worrying that her husband might not find her attractive.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and haven't shaved my legs for about 2 months, my bra and knickers are not matching. In fact I went to shave my legs at the weekend and my weirdo DP said "I don't think they'll grow any longer but give them another week to see". Within a couple of mins he was laughing at how I'm still 'hot' with my hairy legs!

I'd still rather be with my weirdo than someone who I'm scared won't find me attractive.

What happened about marrying someone for their complete self and loving the person they develop into in their lifetime with you, it is not all about the sex and your looks staying just as they were years ago.

Quite.

I love my husband more now than when we married 10 years ago or met 15 years ago precisely because we have a whole bank of memories and life lived together. He looks older than he did then because, duh, he is older than he was then. I would have to be really fucking stupid to expect him to look the same. What is DMC saying about her husband if she thinks he will dump her if she no longer looks like she did when she was 29?

After reading her comments and her blog I feel desperately sorry for her. No matter whether I like her persona or not, I can't help but feel awful for a woman with such obviously low self-esteem. If her husband contributes to making her feel like this, on top of her own issues making her like it, it's even worse.

Poor woman.

I've only got this from what I have read upthread, but IF she earns more money than him, and IF she works longer hours than him because her career is more successful, it's possible that he may spend more time with the children than she does. So perhaps she's worried that if they break up he'll get half her money and the lions share of the kids' time.

Hope that's not the reason. Sad

the other interviews linked to on here show her to be deeply insecure. It's all about keeping him. (She knows he is a cheat, after all, he left his wife for her!) She worries about flirty fans etc. What happened about marrying someone for their complete self and loving the person they develop into in their lifetime with you, it is not all about the sex and your looks staying just as they were years ago.

“Matthew has strong views on underwear,”

That's just wierd

“You must keep your husband satisfied in the bedroom department,” she added, “even if you’re absolutely exhausted. Otherwise he will go somewhere else.”

If I tried to "satisfy my husband" whilst I was exhausted he would go mental and ask me wtf I was doing and why wasn't it sleeping...

True to form, a couple of half-wits on Hunsnet are championing Davina's position: a cheating man is, indeed, the fault of a woman "letting herself go" and not giving him a shag when he demands. Of course, I went on there purely for research purposes Blush

That's really rough on her daughter. What was she thinking!

Nothing wrong with kids knowing their parents have a sex life but there is a lot wrong with a parent discussing the cringy details in a newspaper.

The article in full in Telegraph today - still says the same, even they comment she sounds like s 50s housewife

Silly cow.

Sad to say they were actually discussing the shit of Loose Women (ok no surprises there) today. I had to turn off after two mins before my last remaining brain cell shrivelled up.

An interview from 2013...

I need to work hard at keeping hold of my gorgeous husband

She's clearly worried about something!

Greythorne · 01/06/2015 15:55

Oh, the irony of the comments under her blog!

After she takes the time to spill on her personal life and philosophy on sex, loads of superfans telling her not to worry and no need to discuss her happy sex life with anyone else and after all, anyone can see she has a strong marriage and gorgeous kids.

Sigh.

Never before read her blog. She isnt very interesting or, um, quite as sharp as I had imagined.

To be fair...I bet there is some truth in what she says. I don't agree with it though. I know someone that is very ill, has been for years and told her v.attractive DH that she understood if he wanted to go elsewhere, he could, as long as he didn't fall in love with them. Again...sad but true.

Never heard her speak French, only heard it touted that she is bilingual.

I guess its quite common for celebrateees to be thought of as smart, they often try to tell people they are by claiming to be a business woman. When actually they are just lucky with their geans to have a pretty face and lucky with the opportunity's they've had / been born into.

You would be surprised how many times it's touted that DMC is smart, just because she has made $$$!

I don't think she is at all. Having met her and worked with her, I would say she has a very small niche in media that she has exploited terribly well.
