To wonder how Vernon Kay got away with it?

"In 2010, Kay was forced to apologise to his wife after it was revealed in the British press that he had been sending sexually explicit text and social media messages to model Rhian Sugden every day for four months. Later on, he admitted to sending similar messages to "four or five" other women at the same time." (From Wikipedia).

I was just wondering about it as I have him on the radio working at home today.

We would all have been telling Tess to LTB on here. I actually don't think he did anything physical with any of them, but I wouldn't have stayed with him.

His mum was hilarious! She wouldn't stop talking about him when he was a kid!

There is gossip that VK and TD have an open marriage and take part in the swinging scene. I doubt they have the same level of sexual jealousy as people with a traditional marriage. But they probably don't want to publicise this too much in case it harms their careers. Hence when texts from VK came out they probably decided to act out the repentant spouse script to the public.

I just wouldn't bother getting married then if I wanted to muck about with other people. I'm sure their daughters are delighted.

He didn’t get away with it, he admitted it, it was in the papers etc. but I guess she choose to forgive him.

They seem happy and it’s their business.

I mean, it's not for me ( who has the energy?) but maybe they love each other and love bringing up their children together and sitting on the sofa watching telly together but sexually get a thrill from inviting others into their relationship. I suspect most showbiz relationships are somewhat 'open'. If they are fine with it, it's nobody's business really.

I find that hard to believe, if I'm honest. Most celebrity 'inside gossip' is a pack of lies. I think that it is more likely that Vernon regularly strays than that they are open, very elegant, mannequnish women like Tess and Victoria Beckham don't tend to be the most sensual of people when you scratch the surface.

That's a very bold statement. What's your evidence?
