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.

Sorry you're still feeling so raw about your own divorce.
Think of all that time you'll gain by not watching a crappy programme that upsets you.

Emmageddon · 10/08/2018 08:40

Unless you know Lisa personally, then you have no idea of why their marriage ended. Fertility issues have been hinted at but neither party has come out and said that was an underlying reason. For all we know, children weren't a consideration.

Deal with the angst you're feeling in a different way. Identifying with celebrities and assuming you know their thoughts and feelings isn't healthy.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 10/08/2018 08:41

I am genuinely stunned that anyone watches this.

Paddley · 10/08/2018 08:41

Oh OP, you sound so sad, hopefully things will get easier for you soon. Try not to feel too sorry for Ant's missus, she'll have a fair old bit of money to ease the pain of losing a massive tosser from her life.

Could you start a separate thread in Relationships for a bit of support?

Figlessfig · 10/08/2018 08:43

What a strange thread. I’ve read it twice and am none the wiser. I do feel sorry for Lisa but, as I’ve no idea who she is, I’m not sure why.

I do of course know who Wayne Rooney is, but can’t work out where he comes in.

I must be getting old.

SoyDora · 10/08/2018 08:49

I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad about your divorce.
You have no idea what went on in their relationship, no one does except them.

Sirzy · 10/08/2018 08:54

They are the only ones who truly know what happened, the truth will fall somewhere inbetween both sides version of events.

The only part that makes me feel slightly uncomfy is that (from what I have seen from “retweets” and “x liked this post type things) she seems to be using social media a lot and turning it into a bit of a popularity contest

Butteredparsn1ps · 10/08/2018 09:03

TV presenting is a job. An obscenely well paid one, but still a job at the end of the day. Just like till assistants, nurses, plumbers, teachers bankers and bus-drivers.

OP would you avoid Tesco’s, hospitals, buses or schools because someone had behaved badly and/or had a failed relationship?

Of course you empathise with Lisa’s feelings, and it sounds like you’re still grieving for the end of your own relationship, but ultimately she has a job and friends and I hope in time will find happiness.

Whether you watch or don’t watch TV programmes won’t affect her.

twattymctwatterson · 10/08/2018 09:03

Op I'm sorry you're feeling so sad about your own situation but please stop taking celebrity gossip as gospel

Summersup · 10/08/2018 09:07

OP sounds like you have had a really hard time lately. I agree with everyone, perhaps post about your own experiences in Relationships and get some support directly about that as it's a bit muddled in with the celeb stuff here and that's distracting.

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 10/08/2018 09:16

I'm kind of with the OP. There should be more societal disapproval of horrible behaviour. I wouldn't buy PH bread either - I think repeatedly cheating on his wife makes him a total sleaze and I don't want to contribute to his fortune by buying his products.
I also think that drink driving and being a presenter of family tv is incompatible.

CaptainCabinets · 10/08/2018 09:38

I don’t think AIBU is the place for you. Why not start a thread in relationships about your feelings surrounding your own divorce rather than a passive aggressive rant about bread?

I also think you might benefit from counselling.

dustarr73 · 10/08/2018 09:53

Why shouldnt Ant come back.Hes paid his dues and unlike others seems to be a one off.

The marriage ended last year for whatever reasons.Lisa is just making herself look foolish.Somebody should get her off twitter.

witchofzog · 10/08/2018 10:08

As another poster said. I find it hard to feel sorry for someone who is going to get a divorce settlement of millions. Yes it is sad the marriage broke down but 1 in 3 marriages do. You are over invested op. It is obviously triggering something in you but you need to try to focus on your own concerns about your own life and not those of people you don't really know

KentishLady2018 · 10/08/2018 10:21

I go slightly against the grain on this one as I don't think she was as innocent in all this as she makes out.

I remember the first time he came out of rehab she was pictured going home with her shopping the day before and her shopping bags clearly contained numerous bottles of wine.

I thought to myself then "what wife fills their home with alcohol the day before your husband gets home from rehab for a drug and alcohol addiction".

Did he do something wrong? Of course! He was tried and punished by the courts. Does that mean he can't live his life any more? Of course not! Just because he's in the public eye he's vilified for trying to have a normal life after what has obviously been a very difficult time.

SNT is my guilty pleasure - it's just harmless fun and puts a smile on my face every week that it's on. I'm sad that it won't be back this year, but I'm glad Dec is doing IAC.

mintich · 10/08/2018 10:27

I enjoyed the shows with Dec and Stephen Mulhern. They should do the next series with them.

mavismcruet · 10/08/2018 10:38

Yanbu if Lisa is a friend of yours. My friend had a relationship with a sitcom actor. He treated her like shit and I could never watch anything he was in again.

If you don’t know these people on a personal level then Hmm

Actually yabu for watching such drivel in the first place.

That too. But okay everyone yes I am over invested. Have some stuff going on and today isn't easy.

TacoLover · 10/08/2018 10:44

She's going to get 30 million quid out of this, she'll be fine. You have no idea what went on in their marriage so how can you blame one side?

dustarr73 · 10/08/2018 10:53

I remember the first time he came out of rehab she was pictured going home with her shopping the day before and her shopping bags clearly contained numerous bottles of wine.

I think Ant pulled the plug because he knew he would never get sober with her.They where as bad as each other.

And with teh drink drive charge,luckily nobody was killed but that was his rock bottom.He needed to hit that before he could get better.Thats just my take on it.

ilovegin112 · 10/08/2018 11:05

At least he hasn’t been treated the same way as Angus Deaton

ilovegin112 · 10/08/2018 11:07

Sorry Deayton, meant to say I can’t stand ant anyway

bluetrampolines · 10/08/2018 11:10

Oh yeah. Remember Angus Deyton, what did happen to him?

NewYearNewMe18 · 10/08/2018 11:15

I'd have a smidgeon of empathy for Lisa is she got some dignity and shut up carping on and on and on - she's on a par with the Markle crew with her twitter rants. There is nothing less attractive than scorned woman who keeps harping on about it. If she really wanted to show him what he was missing she'd reinvent herself, lose 3 stone, sort her hair out, drop the fags, the bottle, the Columbian Marching Powder and hit the gym. Harsh? Yes, but you know I'm right. If she reckons she's relocating to LA, with that pay off, and obvious neediness, she will be ripe for the picking.

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/08/2018 11:15

All I would say is no one ever knows what goes on behind closed doors.

There will be a heck of a lot more to it that the media has portrayed.
