The truth behind Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden's shock split that left him blindsided as she moved in with TV star
Charley was said to be less than impressed with her ex airing their dirty laundry in public, insiders revealed TANGLED WEBB The truth behind Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden's shock split that left him blindsided as she moved in with TV star THEY appeared to have it all, flying careers, three beautiful boys and an impressive country mansion - but out of the blue, it all came crashing down for Matthew Wolfenden. His partner of 15 years, Charley Webb, brutally ended their marriage - and now for the first time, insiders have revealed why she decided to call it quits and move in with a star actress. 13 Insiders revealed why Charley Webb's marriage to Emmerdale co-star Matthew Wolfenden came crashing down Credit: Getty 13 Mother-of-three Charley left Matthew blindsided as she moved in with fellow TV star Credit: Rex 13 The pair are both devoted to their three kids but have now moved on with new lives Credit: Instagram In 2023, Charley, now 37, embarked on her first stage tour. It was a big deal, landing a part playing Diana Ingram in Quiz - her first notable role since she quit playing Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale. And she shone on stage - Charley received rave reviews and insiders say it sparked a burning desire to take her life in a new direction. A source close to Charley said: 'It was a big turning point for her when she landed the role and took to the road. 'It was the first time in years she was fully herself again, not mum, not Debbie - but a stage actress. 'There was a lot of downtime when she was on her own, and she really had a chance to think about what she wanted from her life.' It was a tough time for me, it was a time of big changes and then this on top of things wasn't the best news in the world Matthew on the split Husband Matthew was meanwhile at their home in Yorkshire, looking after their boys Buster, 15, Bowie, eight, and Ace, four, completely unaware of what was to come. He had just left Emmerdale and was getting ready to head to London for a stage show of his own. Charley moved back to the family home, while Matthew headed to London to appear in Elf, where he met and fell for his current girlfriend - Heather Scott Martin, who was also working in the production. An insider revealed: 'It was incredibly hard for Matthew because people saw him with Heather and assumed he was behind the split. Emmerdale star Charley Webb flaunts her toned abs as she strips to black bikini on holiday in Turkey 'He kept a dignified silence at the time and only decided to speak out about it all much later on. 'By that time, the dust had settled and Charley had found solace elsewhere.' And that new independent direction was supported by close pal and fellow stage and screen star Sheridan Smith. 'Out of the blue' Matthew, 45, has since spoken openly about the break up - admitting it wasn't his decision and he wouldn't have gone about it in the way Charley did, revealing his concern for their boys. He recalled: 'Out of the blue, I got this news that she wanted to separate. 13 After Charley and Matthew split she moved out to live with Sheridan Smith Credit: Click News and Media 13 Charley and Sheridan even Christmas together, which Charley said was the best yet Credit: Instagram / @miss_charleywebb 13 Sheridan and Charley are inseparable and are said to have supported each other a lot Credit: instagram 13 Charley recently delighted her fans with a series of bikini snaps while on holiday Credit: Instagram 13 Charley looked to be having a ball with some girlfriends in Bodrum Credit: Instagram 'It was a tough time for me, it was a time of big changes, and then this on top of things wasn't the best news in the world. But things happen for a reason and yeah. 'It was a very very tough time, but these things happen, and I'm not the first person in the world to have separated from their partner with kids involved. 'It was the fact that the kids were quite young, and it wasn't only a couple of years ago. That was a concern to me. We had to move onwards.' He added on the podcast The Lewis Nicholls Show: 'I didn't expect it at all, it was a big shock. Separation is very difficult when you've spent 15 years together, your lives together and everything you own is together - just sorting out.' 'Huge support' Once he returned from London, the former couple kept their house for another year before putting it on the market for £900,000 in January this year. After Charley moved out in late 2023, she move in with best pal Sheridan finding comfort with her fellow single mum, an award winning TV, film and stage star. Sheridan, 44, shares a son, Billy, with her former fiancé, Jamie Horn, and recently split with her boxer boyfriend, Dave Ryan. The pals' bond grew further last summer when they jetted off to Greece for a sun-soaked holiday. The two even spent Christmas together, which Charley called her 'favourite Christmas yet', sharing joyful snaps of their celebrations. Charley became a big part of Billy's life and has supported Sheridan, who she calls 'bae', with childcare while she works. 13 Charley and Matthew first started dating back in 2007 Credit: Instagram 13 Matthew is still with new love Heather Scott-Martin Credit: Instagram/matthewwolfenden55 13 The pair were the soap's golden couple - thanks to their roles on Emmerdale Credit: Instagram@charleywebb A friend revealed: 'Sheridan and Charley have both been huge supports for each other. 'They have been through similar things and have also bonded over their love of acting. 'They love spending time together and even got a dog together. 'Their kids are all really close now too, so it just works really well.' We're always going to have a relationship. Matthew Wolfenden Initially, things were frosty between Charley and Matthew as they tried to work out their new arrangement, but the former couple have put their differences aside and found a way forward. Matthew explained: 'Everything was a bit up in the air for the first few months, but we're very very amicable, we're still friends and we've got kids together, so you have to be. 'We had the best 15 years together, and we had three amazing kids together. But in terms of co-parenting, we decided we'd do a week on, week off.' And for now, the situation seems to be working well - Matthew is still with his new love, Heather, Charley is landing exciting new roles, but most importantly, their children are happy. It's thought Charley was slightly perturbed about Matthew's decision to air their dirty laundry, but she is happy to move on. She recently jetted off on a girls' holiday to Bodrum, Turkey and delighted fans with a series of bikini snaps as she relished her new independence before flying home to Sheridan. The friend added: 'Matthew might have been blindsided about the split, but he has managed to work through his initial shock and concern. He feels better that people know it wasn't his choice. 'They have really shown how to co-parent properly and are determined to keep things amicable - no matter what.' 13 It's thought Charley was slightly perturbed about Matthew's decision to air their dirty laundry but she is happy to move on Credit: Rex Features 13 Charley is landing exciting new roles Credit: ITV

BBC Breakfast stars warn 'truth will come out' in bullying probe as they defend boss
BBC Breakfast show boss Richard Frediani has been defended by staff amid the bullying allegations against him with host Naga Munchetty said to be one of the people who raised concerns about him. BBC Breakfast insiders have rushed to defend the controversial boss at the centre of a bullying investigation with one insisting:'The truth will out.' Show boss Richard Frediani is currently on extended leave from the programme following complaints about his behaviour. Host Naga Munchetty is also said to not get on with the executive. However, other former and current staff on BBC Breakfast have showcased their fierce loyalty towards him. One told the Mirror: 'He is not a bully at all and the truth will come out. "He's a great boss and was - and is still - overwhelmingly loved by the team, who respect his drive, expertise, and journalistic ambition. He has delivered great audiences and the first ever Bafta or for breakfast TV. He can be brash and opinionated but works so hard for his team and allows people to flourish.' A second insider claimed that some staff were disappointed with Munchetty who allegedly raised her concerns about Frediani's management style with BBC bosses, the Mirror reports. The source said: 'Yes, he is old-school and can rub people up the wrong way but it's always in the pursuit of great television. It's the best-rating breakfast show in the country - it's not supposed to be a walk in the park. "Some - Naga included - need to understand this. It feels like it's a case of presenter power turfing out a brilliant journalist.' Co-host Charlie Stayt is also said to have a complicated relationship with Frediani. Frediani has been the editor of the BBC show since September 2019. He recently had his role expanded to include the flagship News at One. In March, Deadline reported how Frediani was the subject of at least two misconduct complaints, including one from a woman who had her grievance upheld after claiming he physically shook her during a newsroom exchange last year. Some also alleged they felt he had showed visible anger over mistakes being made on-air, while one person claimed to have witnessed him storm of the production gallery and kick a wastebasket. An internal probe is now being carried out following the allegations of bullying. An HR adviser from consultancy firm PwC is also supporting the corporation as it looks into the culture of the morning TV show.

The workplace culture review, led by management consultant Grahame Russell from Change Associates, was launched in the light of the uproar over disgraced former newsreader Huw Edwards. A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.'
