Channel 4 this week, documentary about Paula Yates.
She was the same age as me and I followed her career from the beginning. Had a bit of a girl crush on her and was genuinely sad when she died.

He wasn’t a wealthy man though, he is now. By the early 80’s the Boomtown Rats were over and he struggled to repeat the success that they had. She paid the mortgage and he expected her to earn her way. Band/Live Aid was a charity, he would have drawn a salary from the organisation I assume but not immediately. She had to work. All the earth mother stuff was just fluff along with the ball gowns and flirting. They had a very capable and hardworking nanny and cleaners.

Yes, she made those comments in the Wogan show about how men are useless and lazy and as a woman, being at home with your kids is so much better than going out to work.
She was promoting a book about the joys of motherhood at the time. Ironic how it all turned out really.

If you are her contemporary, like me, you may not like her because she made shitty comments about women who went out to work or expected their partners to help with the kids. You won't be reminded of that in the documentary though.
