I can't help but feel sorry for her but if I am honest, I also think "well you should have expected it". He has a talent for moving on to someone younger/richer etc....what a cad!

Thing is, Della and now Anthea both really loved him despite his failings - I pity any female he is involved with.

Sparkling - thanks for sharing, that is awesome. She is a ninja of home making!

"He was married to someone else and had young children !!!! What did she except" from DM

I guess therein lies the opinion of many people. If Anthea is annoyed at this, maybe she needs to look inwards and indeed at Bovey.

Redirecting anger at the public in such a situation when in the public eye is slightly sad.

I know she did a shabby thing pinching her friend's husband but to be frank she clearly did Della a huge favour. Della is probably feeling like it's all such old news now... There has to be a statute of limitations on sticking the knife in and saying 'there, told you' imo.

Well i think I should start a campaign to get her back on the TV. The Wright Stuff researchers-if you are reading this get her on the panel asap.

I'm not sure about all this 'poor Anthea' business over her marriage break-up. She knowingly aligned herself with a slimy, dishonest weevil of a man and the consequences of her actions are now playing out - boo hoo, that's life. Hopefully she will have a period of self reflection and be able to choose/behave better next time.

I do feel for her over the infertility and the loss of her career though. If what she say's about her first marriage is true, then she wasted her fertile years in a sexless marriage and then to have all that IVF must have been harrowing.

And as for her career, whilst her crass and immoral behavior during her affair/wedding to Bovey was certainly distasteful, many a male celeb has behaved as badly and worse and not ended up in showbiz wilderness - smacks of sexism to me.

All that said, I really don't want her smug, self-satisfied visage on my TV, thank you very much TV researchers unless it's day time shite, of which I don't watch. Then you can fill your boots.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 20:57

It's ok Wahla I was thinking

TWS
Loose Women
Roving reporter on This Morning

That sort of thing. After a few months she can co host The One Show possibly.

MatersMate · 15/06/2013 21:01

yeah, this morning is the sort of show that will give her a job. I don't watch it, so would be alright with me :)

Chubfuddler · 15/06/2013 21:06

She was a good presenter. Better than a lot of the numpties on these days

I'm looking at you holly willoughby and fearne cotton and Alex jones

He is odious.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:09

Yes Chub she was a good presenter. She would be better than Holly Willoughby that's for sure.

hermioneweasley · 15/06/2013 21:15

I only want her doing "perfect housewife". Thanks to Sparklng, I have been checking out her wisdom on YouTube tonight. She is awesome!

hermioneweasley · 15/06/2013 21:16

Being better than Holly Willoughby is no accolade. I see she's resorted getting her baps out again tonight. She comes across as a complete airhead.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:17

That Perfect Housewife series needs bringing back at the very least. She can bring it up so date with jet washers and steam cleaners.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:17

*to date

hermioneweasley · 15/06/2013 21:18

Ooo, Anthea brandishing a steam mop!

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:19

Re Holly W. I don't see how you can expect to be treated as a serious interviewer on one show while arsing about with Keith Lemon and smutty innuendo every week on another. Confused

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:20

Anthea would love the steam mop definitely. Grin

hermioneweasley · 15/06/2013 21:25

This is what I mean about HW being an airhead - she seems.....easily led. "oh, you want to do jokes about my boobs? That's ok along as I'll be popular with the cool kids". You don't see Kirsty Wark doing that.

Chubfuddler · 15/06/2013 21:25

I agree sparkling.

Chubfuddler · 15/06/2013 21:28

OMFG

just watched her t shirt folding.

That is NINJA

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:29

Exactly hermione. HW has no gravitas whatsoever. I don't think anyone can take her seriously.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:30

Have you tried to do it Chub?

Chubfuddler · 15/06/2013 21:30

The slice of bread!

Chubfuddler · 15/06/2013 21:31

No but I want to

Is she grabbing the back as well or just the front?

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2013 21:33
No edges. Wink Genius.
Chubfuddler · 15/06/2013 21:34

It's not working for me
