I know, I know - I'm obviously the devil and my poor children are being brought up the wrong way and unlucky to have a mother like me. Maybe my husband doesn't find me attractive anymore and maybe people think he is out of my league too. Any more clichés people want to throw my way?!

BuggedLife

fucking hell BuggedLife Her marriage has broken down (no matter who is at fault) and its all over the press that he has moved on, and you are now calling her puffy and ugly!?!
Arent you just a ray of sunshine!

she is still the same person, even if you say she has put on weight.
wicked comment.

BuggedLife. Sorry but your comment about Lisa was just plain nasty. What a horrible thing to say!

BuggedLife are you a man?
Because that was such a misogynistic comment to make.

where has anyone said anything about your home life, and what you do / don't do for your family. We're just following the mantra 'when someone shows you who they are, listen'

Your comments are unnecessary and cruel

BoxsetsAndPopcorn · 17/06/2018 10:12

Nobody bar the two of them knows what went on in the marriage. He's a free man now having split and can date who he likes. A supportive new love may make all the difference to him whilst he battles his demons.

But those are exactly the cliches you're using yourself, Buggedlife. Confused

PeppermintPasty · 17/06/2018 10:14

This is an absolutely genuine question-why would this even be mildly interesting to anyone? I am not trying to be superior, I can't find a reason, unless you know them vaguely.

And then I read that misogynistic comment up there, and here we go. Revolting.

feathermucker · 17/06/2018 10:15

I have no idea why you would even care, let alone make a post about it.

BadTasteFlump · 17/06/2018 10:17

Why would she want to get involved with him anyway considering the problems he’s got??

I can think of a few reasons... £££££

NobodysMot · 17/06/2018 10:17

so it's not amanda holden then. I'm relieved at that much...........

Mascarponeandwine · 17/06/2018 10:23

It’s all PR and money. He’s been portrayed as a victim, sought help, feeling much better, new relationship supports the theory that he’s recovering, next thing you know he’s fully recovered, moved on, and ready to present I’m a celeb.

Don’t believe the journo print, it’s put out by the PR firm and is designed to leave you with a particular impression of the circumstances. The truth is probably rather different.

Samcro · 17/06/2018 10:25

he really is the gift that keeps giving.

ilovesooty · 17/06/2018 10:26

Nasty thread with some repulsive comments. Why would anyone want to gossip about people they don't know? Find some knitting and a guillotine to sit at for fucks sake.

LeahJack · 17/06/2018 10:26

Well by all accounts their life was not one of nutritionists, exercise and making themselves look good. It was one of clubbing then everybody back to theirs for all night parties complete with vats of fast food.

And they both seemed very happy with that for a long time. But apparently now Ant is not.

Lisa still has a great career, lots of friends and an active social life, so I doubt she is genuinely at home crying herself to sleep as the press would have you believe. If they’re just not in the same place in terms of how they want to live their lives I don’t see how it could work.

Ant would be incredibly shallow if he left her just over her looks. And besides, it’s not like he’s left her for the twenty something hyper fertile model everyone predicted. It’s a rather ordinary mother approaching middle age.

Hygge · 17/06/2018 10:29

"I know she had a career of her own but Ant and Dec almost took on royal levels and they could have any woman they want."

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. No.

No they could not.

BuggedLife · 17/06/2018 10:38

I don't feel I need to excuse my post, so no, that's not what I was doing.

You can pity me all you want, at least you now have a reason to feel superior and intelligent 😏

mydogisthebest · 17/06/2018 10:38

I can't believe the Mail had the story as their headline. Also the Ant "had found love" is an insult to Lisa. Surely he found love when he met her?

CadyHeron · 17/06/2018 10:40

Bugged life - clichés to throw your way? Confused but that's exactly the same clichés you've just been doing to someone else! Can't you see the irony in your statement?!
Unbelievable.

Makemineboozefree · 17/06/2018 10:42

I thought when you did rehab you were discouraged from starting a new relationship for at least 12 months afterwards? Hmm

greendale17 · 17/06/2018 10:43

You wait and see- the new woman will be pregnant by the end of the year.

Slartybartfast · 17/06/2018 10:45

of course she wont be pregnant

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 17/06/2018 10:46

I can't think of anything worse than being pitied, BuggedLife. I feel very sorry for you if you feel it's so necessary to be so pathetically mean about somebody who you don't even know.

Perhaps nobody listens to you in RL so enjoy your moment of 'notoriety' on this thread.

NutElla5x · 17/06/2018 10:50

Do we even know for sure that he's having a romance with his PA? Either way ,no-one knows what went on behind closed doors in his marriage, and Ant will still be very delicate so I think people should stop with the speculation and leave him alone to get on with his recovery.

Quartz2208 · 17/06/2018 10:51

As sad as it is I suspect infertility drove them apart and their relationship became toxic (as it could have done if they were not in the public eye) and they both look happier apart

It is refreshing though that she is the same age as him as well

LeahJack · 17/06/2018 10:56

Do we even know for sure that he's having a romance with his PA?

Yes we do. The story in the Sun is very obviously a PR placed one and the pictures pre-arranged.

Gilly12345 · 17/06/2018 10:57

Why is this subject up for discussion? It has nothing to do with any one but themselves. Some people have too much time on their hands.

LeahJack · 17/06/2018 10:57

I thought when you did rehab you were discouraged from starting a new relationship for at least 12 months afterwards

That’s a bit of a myth and more a US based thing. They’re a bit more circumspect here and just advise people not to rush into anything heavy and not to start a new relationship right at the start of recovery.
