To feel quite sorry for Carrie Symonds (Bojo girlfriend)

[Cinammoncake]

When I saw the picture of her yesterday I felt sad for her. She's still quite young and it must be very isolating being stuck with him. Plus all this Jennifer Arcuri stuff coming out. Obviously if I was her I'd ltb but I suppose that's harder to do in the public eye anyway. I wonder if she'll look back on it later and cringe.

“So what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”

When Debbie Mcgee was on a R4 programme about her diaries she talked about her career and how she met and married him. I never really liked her before but really warmed to her. She seems incredibly genuine

Young and naive? At 31?

At that age I was a single mum of four children under the age of ten, raising them alone after my skunk of an ex husband deserted us.
I think she will be ok!!

I don’t feel sorry for her, she made the choice to date him.

I hope she’s playing the long game. She will get a massive boob job, suffocate him and then plead that it was a sex game gone wrong. After all, that line works for men, doesn’t it?

I like Debbie McGee too. Looking back it seems unfair that she was treated like a gold digger. She was with her husband through thick and thin.

BJ does have charisma and that shouldn't be underestimated - charm does get you places. He's now developed that look all PMs get, where they seem to age really rapidly once the penny drops that the buck stops with them. But I can see his earlier appeal.
And some people always want what other people have and take a delight in 'taking' a man who is married, especially to a highly successful woman. People are strange.

Bloody hell. He's divorced. People are allowed to get divorced and then have new relationships you know.

She’s not forced to stay with him she can leave. I feel sorry for the wife and children who have been royally dumped for his ambition to get in number 10

He's not divorced. As you were!

He's revolting. Pompous idiot.
No, no sympathy for her at all. She must have a thing for power and money, nothing else going for him.

His divorces are the least of it!

l don't feel any more sorry for her than l do for Melania Trump. Both knew what they were getting into. lt's hardly been a state secret. lt's been common knowledge for years what Boris was like. You make your choices and you take the consequences. And l speak as someone who's made some bloody silly decisions in my life. Fortunately not in the glare of the public eye, though.

“So what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”

That line only worked because both Aherne and Debbie McGee knew it wasn't true. She'd been with him for ages and it was a love story. I highly doubt they hadn't prepped it beforehand.

I think the interest in power and the limelight must make more sense for CS. She's young and attractive and must know loads of loaded men. Maybe she just likes being the centre of attention. Still having to shag (and live with!) Bojo is a high price to pay.

Shagging BoJo . The shame. At least she does not have a love child though

She knew exactly what she was getting herself into.

Not an enviable position, but she's obviously told herself she's in love with him so there she is.

If she were my sister I'd have stern words and tell her to find someone younger pdq. But I don't feel sorry for her as in her wake is a shattered family.

I'm pretty certain Boris is a step in her life plan, a very useful stepping stone. I wouldn't worry about her.

From what I can make out, CS & BJ deserve each other.

She will write a best selling Tell-All book in future. Probably her future is made from the profits she'll make on back of being his temporary shag.

Love the article, @OooErMissus
