I also dont think it was a set up. I reckon the veiwing public do not want to watch or condone what he was doing really... ITV would have LOVED for that to have gone on and made them loads of 'red tops' headlines... loads of publicity for the show etc... all at the expense of that poor woman who lives with him.
She said yesterday, her life is on hold. I really felt for her. She was SO incredibly gracious on her little interview. I cannot remember if it was today or yesterday when she said, If he's fallen for someone else, then I cant do anyhting about it can I.
What a dignified woman. Glad she didnt meet him off the bridge, if she had, she'd have looked like a mug... if she had met him and kicked him in the nipples, she'd have been undignified ( but justified )
She did the best thing IMHO
