I just don't think ill be able to watch Saturday Night Take Away whenever it returns. I feel too sad for Lisa.

It just reminds me too much of my own divorce. I dont know, the idea that you can you just roll the same show out in a year, it just seems wrong.

Okay. So there are lots of reasons im emotional tonight. I guess im upset about other stuff.

What are you really upset about OP?

Don't take it so personally! Marriages break up all the time, it's sad for those involved but neither party wants to drag everyone down surely?

I'm no expert, seems Ant behaved very badly but has paid for it and is now on way up. Good!

Hopefully Lisa will climb out of the slough of despond sooner or later and get a life for herself.

(Only watched them on IAC and they were great on that - hope they will be again)

My stbxh has an addiction he hides in too. Along with all the divorce stuff that goes with it. You know that thibg when you want to get pregnant and suddenly everywhere there is pregnancy, babies, prams . I guess i feel like that about my divorce.

A lot of women feel that way (about wanting a child and seeing everyone pregnant but you)

I sense it isn't the full story.

He is an extremely rich man and that means options were available to them that aren't open to Joe Public, fertility wise, if indeed fertility was a factor as has been mooted.

He was already an addict before they split, and photographs from around the time suggested they were enabling each other. Addiction is an illness, and like all mental health issues, takes particularly delight in ruining your relationships.

I do not think that this was a clear cut case of Henry 8th "wife can't get pregnant so I'm trading her in" as some papers have implied.

I think it was far more complex than that and that there were two active participants in the marriage and more going on

But like I said, I really know nothing, nor do you, and I really don't think that having a marriage fail should cost you your livelihood really where would anyone be?

Had he killed that child when he was drink driving that would have rightly ended his career however.

If every man on telly lost his gig for being shite husband we'd lose nearly 90% of them!

I hope Dec takes the opportunity to step out and make a separate name for himself. He doesn't deserve to be dragged down.

I don't know why he's always painted as the villian in their break up & her the victim. It's almost a year since they separated. Way before his drink driving

You’re being massively naive if you think he didn’t have a major drink problem BEFORE he got caught drink-driving. Who knows what she’s been living with? It’s bloody awful to see your spouse sinking into addiction, especially when you’re the kind of couple who might be of interest to the paparazzi.

No actually I'm not being naive at all. His problems have been well known for a long time. I think everyone knows his drink driving was down to his alcohol issues not just because he had an extra glass of wine at lunch without realising. But that still doesn't automatically make her the victim in all this. No-one knows what either of them or both as a couple have been dealing with.

I can't understand the media fascination with her at all. A marriage broke up. It happens every day.

when actually they’re setting up the expectation that it’s ok for him to return at all.

Why shouldn’t he return? If he’s paid the price for his drunk driving conviction, served the ban and overcome his addictions then there is no reason at all for him not to return.

Yes. So awful. And his addiction is not her responsibility.

This is such a weird post!!

OP has explained that the situation reminds her of the pain of her own divorce. That's not "weird" or odd or strange. I'm sure she probably feels even more shit for being told how weird she is for trying to express that here in a supposedly supportive place.

Forgive me. My head is clearly fkd. I just put Paul Hollywood bread back on the shelf in the shop out of solidarity to his wife.

Thank you Holly.

Meh. He's behaved badly but there are plenty of celebs out there who have done worse. Look at Wayne Rooney for instance, also been charged with drink driving and had multiple affairs. Hasn't harmed his career.

Is this real?

OP, put down Chat and turn off 'This Morning Britain' or WETF it's called.

Stop being invested in celebrities - all the information you know about them has gone through publicity agents and is all controlled and orchestrated.

Why wouldn't it be okay for him to return? Once he's recovered, what does it have to do with anybody else? If you don't like him, don't watch it. What a strange thing to care about.

Don't blame you Blue. Hollywood's a twat.

For some reason I find your angst over a loaf of bread inappropriately amusing. Sorry you're having a shit time but I think you're definitely projecting.

I am blackly laughing at this thread as well, sorry.
OP I’m sorry you are feeling out of sorts and emotional about your own difficult life experiences at the moment.
Don’t feel sad for Lisa. Ant’s a selfish dick and she’ll do well out of the divorce and move on and be happy without the arsehole. It’s fine.

Why wouldn't it be okay for him to return? Once he's recovered, what does it have to do with anybody else?

This ^.

Otherwise you're saying anyone who's been convicted of drink-driving and been to rehab doesn't deserve to return to their job after recovery. Like it or not, being a TV presenter is his job - why shouldn't he be allowed to work again like anyone else with his issues would be?

Oh my fucking god, seriously?

I can't really feel too sorry for someone looking at a £30 million divorce settlement

Presumably some of that “family money” that Mumsnetters speak of.

Do you always make everything about you?

Seriously though, don’t presume that you know anything about anyone else’s private life, we only see snippets. And that applies to normal people as well, not just celebs.

Those women may be overjoyed to be divorced, from probably eejit men.

This is what happens when people watch too much telly

Seriously op, switch it off and find other stuff to do. You’re way over invested.
