AIBU to not believe Ant McPartlin only hooked up with his PA after his marriage ended?

I know of 3 men who left their marriages without another women lined up. They had tried for years but couldn't pretend any more.

Rubbish. He has made lots of bad decisions and they have consequences. He chose to drink/drive. that was a bad decision He chose to leave his wife for his PA. we have no idea on the background, so we dont know if that was a bad decision

Everything Emmageddon said.

they have been seperated a while now since before xmas at least? At least there are no children involved and tbh being in an unhappy marriage must be very lonely.

YABU and why would this interest anyone except the parties involved. His relationship with his wife was extremely long and although no one actually knows what went on between them, it was widely reported they went through an awful lot as a couple. This takes its toll and that's their business. If he is now in a relationship with someone who has been beside him supporting him through a difficult time, that that is also his business. It's not like she's half his age and flashing her boobs everywhere. She the same age and exceptionally ordinary.
I would've thought if you cared about Ant McPartlin to any degree (I don't really other than he's human) you would want him to get well and be supported and find some happiness.

What actual evidence is there that he left Lisa for another woman. None at all. No evidence on the split with Lisa unless you believe what’s in the Mail.

As someone above said, threads on here had him with Scarlett a few months ago with the same £10 bet on her becoming pregnant.

If she had left him and found someone knew would you be saying the same....doubt it.

ubbish. He has made lots of bad decisions and they have consequences. He chose to drink/drive. that was a bad decision He chose to leave his wife for his
Do you have proof of this.Maybe he left his marriage cause he didnt love her anymore.

I think only the people in a relationship really know what has gone on between them. I think it's nobody else's business.
I also think people gossiping about it will hurt his wife in particular after what must have been an awful time in her life.

Oh his poor wife, she's stood by him through thick and thin and he's moved on so quickly.

They both look much happier and healthier apart. I don't personally believe they were a good influence on each other.

Agree. I’m not sure she looks much healthier though. If you have a picture of them how they looked when they got married and put it next to a picture of them in the last months of their marriage: people who’ve had alcoholics can look at those pictures and just go “Yeah, they’ve spent 20 years drinking”.

You can tell, the way they’ve aged in the bits of their faces that get puffed up when they drink, them deflate, bags under their eyes, jowls, bloating, weight around their middle, grey dull skin, tiny eyes swollen small.

Ant is starting to lose that, Lisa not so much.

Thought the daily mail didn't do legitimate journalism? Why do you believe it/care when they usually quote mumsnet?

Well who would have thought it...an average looking 42 year old woman with two small children. It's not every day you see a 'celebrity' get together with someone who's not too young and fame hungry. I'm quite surprised actually.

I don't think he cheated. I think the previous posters who suggested that maybe his lifestyle with Lisa wasn't healthy is probably right.

Disclaimer...I don't know any of the parties involved and i'm basing my assumptions on tabloid gossip and popbitch 😀

Why is she trying to paint her as a slapper? He’s the one who was married.

She was married too, so she’s as bad as him (perhaps worse, as she has kids with her husband). That’s if it’s true of course. I’m inclined to believe it though. It’s a big coincidence that they would both split from their spouses within weeks of each other if nothing was going on between them.

Doesn’t say anything about her marriage in the story I read so didn’t know anything about that.

Just read that the PA works with Dec’s wife Ali. Ouch. That’s got to hurt, like your ‘friends’ had a hand in squeezing you out.

She looks very pretty and fresh faced , l hope they will all be happy and Lisa can move on with the 30 m she is rumoured to be getting .

I don't know anything about them at all, but I do know that of four of DH's friends who've left their wives/families over the last few years 100% of them had another woman lined up pre-split.

Of course not all women or all men cheat. But I think it's far more common than people in happy marriages like to think.

That old dilemma. The assistant or nanny?
It saves looking around elsewhere I suppose.

The Sun are saying she separated from her husband in October last year.

It is a bit of a cliché!

It never ceases to astonish (and disgust me), the number of nasty-minded, gossipy women on mumsnet who don't know the people involved, know nothing about them other than what the gutter press spams the country with, yet joyfully vent their spiteful spleens.

What the hell must you be teaching your children? Urgh.

oh dont, i have disappeared into the world that is the daily mail and thence onto comments

I'm actually shocked at how many people are vilifying him for cheating on his wife when there is absolutely no evidence for this.

What's the problem with it being his PA? Obviously they spend a lot of time together, she knows him very well, she's presumably bright and capable. It seems like a logical step to me.

And as for the comment about 'why would she want him with all his problems' - would you say that about everyone who has depression, addictions problems, other mental or physical health problems? Just because someone has a problem doesn't mean they have no other redeeming qualities.

Well said,lyingwitch , so gossipy and slightly poisonous on here lately.

I'm sure his wife is better off. Addiction is no joke and he's probably a nightmare to live with. At least his PA will be well trained in taking care of him... and his ex can now look after herself and her family rather than him

wasnt ther gossip about Scarlett Moffat before

poor bloke can't go anywhere, with anyone without the snap of the pap
