I blew my lover's relationship apart with a text to his partner – why I think cheats like kisscam CEO want to be caught
COLDPLAY'S kisscam 'cheating' scandal was every adulterer's worst nightmare - but what really happens on the other side of the exposé? Here, three people who have experienced affairs first-hand reveal what happened next in their relationships, after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned from his job. 6 His wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, has removed his surname from her social media accounts but it's unclear if the couple will split. And now three Fabulous readers reveal all on their very different experiences... After a 10-year affair I told my lover's partner – I knew he wanted to be with me 6 Carla Bellucci, 44, from Hertfordshire, had a decade long affair with her now husband Gio, 55. They have a three-year-old daughter, Blu, together. 'I'm not proud of the fact my relationship started with an affair – or that I exposed it. But I can't say I regret it. Our relationship is meant to be. I think affairs happen when your needs aren't being met in your primary relationship. I was very unhappily married and confessed to my ex as soon as I met Gio. For Gio it was more complicated. He's a lovely, kind man, his live-in partner and mother of his child had done nothing 'wrong'. So he really struggled – he felt guilt ridden and torn apart. After 10 years I couldn't live in limbo any more. It was 2019 when I told him he had to tell her, or I would. He didn't, so I sent her messages and photos of us together. Unsurprisingly it ended their relationship. More surprising is that Gio wasn't angry with me, he understood why I did it – I couldn't share any more. It didn't break us up and a year later we moved in together. In 2023 we got married and we're very happy. It doesn't cross my mind that he would cheat on me and I'd never be unfaithful either. We're soulmates. I think on one level he was grateful. And I suspect a lot of people that cheat want to be caught as it takes it out of your hands. If someone is brazenly out in public, canoodling then they must know the risk. Or they're stupid! Equally I think a lot of wives know when their man is messing around and choose to turn a blind eye because they don't want to disrupt their lives.' 6 I discovered his affair…and did the 'choose me' dance Jane, 54, from Rugby, found out her husband was cheating while they were on holiday 13 years ago. Agonising moment tech CEO Andy Byron is caught 'cheating' with his HR chief at Coldplay gig as pair cuddle on big screen 'I'll never forget that moment when I decided to look at my husband's phone. We were on holiday in Gran Canaria and it was pinging away. I don't know why but I picked it up and went into messages and saw a sent one that read, ' Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, I love you'. My heart immediately lurched, but my brain took a while to catch up. I even thought it must be meant for me for a moment – despite my birthday being in April. But that's how blindsided I was. I immediately confronted him, and he brushed it off, telling me it was to a friend and he sent her the same thing every year. He was so confident that for a moment I believed him. We went down to the beach as normal – but then my mind caught up, you don't tell casual friends you love them. I knew with a sickening certainty it must be more. When the children were paddling, I told him I didn't believe him and asked him questions. But he still denied it. I tried to grab his phone, but he was having none of it. It was three months later I went through his phone, and found a number with no name assigned to it. I called it and there was no reply. But she called me back and it all came spilling out. She had no idea he was married – he was conning her too. It had been going on for months. With the new information I confronted him. He said it meant nothing and he couldn't explain why he'd done it, but it would never happen again. He refused counselling. At first I did the 'pick me dance', making more of an effort so I didn't lose him to her. I lost a stone and ended up on anti-depressants from the strain. I felt like a fool, for not noticing. But he had a busy job in finance where he worked evenings and had long lunches so it was easy for him to deceive me. And he seemed besotted with me. I stayed because I was naïve and still in love. I didn't think I could cope on my own with two young children – I was sure it would be better for them to be with both parents. I had no confidence left – he'd always been my protector. The pain of his betrayal is always with me, even now. I hate new year and I can't even wear the sun cream I was using on that holiday. I wish I'd left, I feel I've wasted the last 13 years of my life. My devastation has turned into anger and resentment. But at 75 he's much older than me and his health is failing so it would feel too cruel. So I'm trapped in a marriage that he destroyed.' I strayed – it cost me everything John, 60, from London, works in sales. He lost his home and his friends when his affair was discovered. "I started my affair because I was bored in my 27-year marriage and thought there must be more to life. I met my lover through work and we saw each other for two years. It felt magical, I yearned for her company and convinced myself it was true love. Then her husband discovered it, by snooping through her emails. He contacted me saying I had 24 hours to tell my wife or he would. I never heard from my lover again. When I saw his email the spell was broken. I realised how much I loved my wife and our two sons – who were teenagers at the time. I was a coward and couldn't tell her, desperately hoping he wouldn't follow through on his threat. But he did, forwarding all the correspondence between me and my lover to her. It was heartbreaking when my wife came to me, shaking and crying. I will never forgive myself for the hurt I put her through. We tried to patch it up and we went to counselling. But she understandably couldn't get past it. We divorced in 2023 two years after she found out. I lost our friends, who couldn't forgive the betrayal either and my home. I'm now alone, living in a studio flat and I've only got myself to blame. When my life felt boring, I should have made an effort with my wife, not cheated. I'll regret it forever.' Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron.

BREAKING NEWS Billy Joel, 76, breaks silence on brain disorder battle which forced him to step back from singing career
Billy Joel has given an emotional update on his health amid his battle with brain disorder, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). In May, music icon Joel, 76, revealed his diagnosis and announced the cancellation of his upcoming concerts, following recent onstage struggles. The condition has impacted Joel's 'hearing, vision, and balance,' with the Uptown Girl hitmaker opening up about his condition on Monday's Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. He said: 'I feel fine. My balance sucks. It's like being a boat.' Joel said doctors cannot identify the cause of the condition, adding: 'They don't know… I thought it must be from drinking.' Over the years, Joel has been open about his struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, as well as his battles with mental health, which at one point led to a suicide attempt amid career pressures. 'I feel good. They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling' he said. 'Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the brain, enlarging the ventricles and puts pressure on brain tissue, potentially causing damage and neurological symptoms,' per Mayo Clinic. Joel is currently undergoing targeted physical therapy as prescribed by his doctor and has been 'advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.' When diagnosed early, NPH can often be effectively treated with surgery that drains excess fluid from the brain, relieving pressure and symptoms. However, if left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent damage in its later stages. The legendary musician also expressed his gratitude for the care he's receiving and thanked fans for their continued support. 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding,' Joel wrote on Instagram. 'Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,' the statement added. It continued, 'He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.' Fans won't need to take any steps to receive a refund—payments will be automatically returned to the original form of purchase. Canceled dates include his summer show in New York City, along with stops in New Orleans, Toronto, Santa Clara, Salt Lake City, Washington, D.C., and Liverpool. The new health update comes after Joel previously postponed his tour by only four months 'due to a medical condition.' A statement posted to his Instagram on March 11 revealed the tour has been halted after the Uptown Girl singer underwent a recent surgery. 'The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors. Joel is expected to make a full recovery. The tour will resume at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on July 5, 2025,' the post read. 'While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first. I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding,' Joel said in the statement at the time. Multiple fans also speculated if his medical issues were connected to his recent fall on stage. In late February, Joel suffered a nasty fall on stage during a gig at the Mohegan Sun resort in Monteville, Connecticut, sparking major fear amongst fans. Footage from the show captures the Grammy winner spinning a microphone stand before hurling it across the stage—only to suddenly topple over moments later. The musician was helped up by his band managed to carry on with the rest of the show and sang one more song for his fans. Photos of the unsettling fall capture Joel—dressed in an all-black suit and dress shoes—appearing to stumble before hitting the stage hard on his side, then rolling onto his back. And the songwriter has never been one to shy away from discussing the realities of aging. In a conversation with BBC Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball, he was asked whether he maintains a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise. His candid response? 'None of the above. I don't think I look all that good. But I don't look in the mirror that often, which helps a lot. There's a saying, "things don't look half bad with one eye closed."' Reflecting on what he's most proud of, the legendary musician summed it up simply: 'My ability to move on with life. I've had difficulties in my life, but it never stopped me from continuing. Troubles with business didn't stop me from doing business. I have no bitterness about anything, even people who rip me off, I let it go. I'm content with that. I'm happy. I'm having a happy ending.' Billy's illustrious career as a musician began back in the mid-1960s, which led to the release of debut studio album, Cold Spring Harbor (1971). But it failed to gain any real traction until after the success of his follow-up, Piano Man (1973), that peaked at number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number four on the Adult Contemporary singles chart. Now an established name on the musical landscape, Joel became a million seller with the release of Streetlife Serenade (1974), but his commercial breakout making him a bonafide star came with the release of The Stranger (1977), which featured the hit singles Movin' Out (Anthony's Song), Just The Way You Are, She's Always a Woman, The Stranger, and Only The Good Die Young. He would go on to release a 13th album - Fantasies & Delusions (2001) - that features classical compositions from Joel, a first for him during his career. With over 160 million records sold worldwide, Billy Joel is one of the world's best-selling musical artists, and the fourth-best-selling solo artist in the United States.

Derek Thompson to retire from commentary today after 60 years behind the mic
DEREK THOMPSON will be hanging up his mic after 60 years today – and if there is any justice in the world it will be a 'photo!' finish. The legendary broadcaster, 74, will call the first three races at Wolverhampton this evening before retiring from the commentary box. 1 He will continue to work in racing, he just won't be calling them home anymore. He said: 'I did my first call at a point-to-point when I was 15 and started on radio in 1970. It's the right time to hand over the binoculars. I've so many great memories.' Thommo was part of the Channel 4 Racing team for nearly 30 years and has one of the most recognisable voices in the sport, with his calls of 'photo!' and 'that's one for the judge' his trademark. His career has also included a spell with the BBC, when he commentated on the Grand National at the age of 22, while he also worked for Sheikh Mohammed in Dubai and defeated the future King Charles III in a charity race. Two races have been named in his honour at Wolverhampton, the 'It's A Photo – Big Fella EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes' (7.30) and the Thanks For Everything Tommo – Happy Retirement Handicap (9.00). After a tough day at Ayr in January, when he 'made a hash' of the finish in the concluding race, he received lots of abuse and soon after he decided to call it a day. He said: 'I shouldn't have gone to Ayr, I drove up there on the day and I was tired, I called the result right but made a hash of it. 'I was mortified and I got so much abuse when I was heading home. I put out a video message the next day saying I'd had a bad day and I got so much love and support, it was wonderful.' Of course, he gained widespread fame more recently when his 'it's a man actually, Derek' and 'are you well? I thought you were' clips went viral on social media. He added: 'I've had so much fun, Radio 1 DJ Greg James really helped drive it. I have a neon sign at home now which says, 'Are you well? I thought you were'. 'I'm a little nervous and sad it's coming to an end, but I'm hoping there will be five in a line at the finish so I can give it one last 'photo!'.' .
