The curse of celebrity?

Can't say I'm surprised!

I'm not surprised either.

Perhaps he has started to believe his own publicity.

Sad though as is any marriage break up.

Explain please - why are you not surprised? is it inevitable?

Not inevitable, gracesmum but a sudden rise to fame and the adulation that goes with it would probably be hard for any wife to take.

Who is Paul Hollywood?

I think many GN members have played their part in praising him/his beard/his bread over the past few months!

Sometimes these things happen, whether your famous or not, sad theirs has to be in the limelight - I have 2 dear friends whose husbands have left them this week, how hideous if they had to play it out on the public glare

Why should a sudden rise to fame and the adulation that goes with it be hard for any wife to take?

I don't think it's the wife that has the problem; surely it's the men not being able to turn down the advances of celebrity besotted younger women? I was sad to hear of Bill Nighy and Diana Quick splitting up a few years back because of his sudden popularity. I do hope Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack never split up . They seem to have sorted the fame thing out rather well.

I have never heard of him. Maybe I do not get out enough!

Chubby guy with beard;makes bread...

..unlikely description for a babe magnet ...

Need to factor in the blue eyes!
