Chris Tarrant's ex-wife details 'insane' way she discovered his seven-year affair
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Ingrid Tarrant, the ex-wife of Chris Tarrant, has shared her story of how she uncovered his infidelity. The 70-year-old grew suspicious of the TV presenter, 78, 15 years into their marriage which began in 1991. While Chris denied any wrongdoing when she confronted him, Ingrid's intuition told her otherwise. She recounted on the Suddenly Single podcast: "Something was telling me he was lying. So, I thought the only way to be sure is to put a private detective on him." Finding it difficult to plant a tracking device in his car, Ingrid made up a lie about why she needed to borrow his vehicle. After securing his consent, she said: "It took them ages to fit it [the device]." Additionally, the mother-of-two hid a phone in her husband's second car to monitor his movements. Reflecting on the ordeal, she shared: "I had to keep secretly charging it and there were moments when I thought, 'This is insane'. "I'd be quietly getting the keys, shimmying out to the car to get the phone and charge it." The experience led to numerous restless nights for Ingrid, especially as Chris would wake up early. Nevertheless, her efforts eventually confirmed her suspicions. (Image: (Image: GETTY)) After being confronted with a picture that verified Chris' affair, Ingrid admitted she still felt shocked. "Call me naive, but I was so surprised. I had to have a photograph so there was no mistake," she recalled. It later emerged that the TV host had been secretly dating a 50-year-old primary school deputy headteacher for seven years. When the affair became public in 2006, he issued an apology for the damage caused. Chris expressed his remorse stating he was "deeply sorry" and confessed: "I have only myself to blame for the breakdown of my marriage." The former couple, who are parents to two children, finalised their divorce in 2007 after 16 years of marriage. Nowadays, Ingrid enjoys life as a happily single and celibate woman, who questions the need for another relationship. She said: "Women can just switch off, it's like food. If I eat breakfast, I'm hungry all day long. "If you're not having sex, you go through the sex-starved hunger pangs and then nothing, I don't miss it at all." She went on to say: "Do I really want to get back into all that with another man? "I don't know that I do! I have a great social life, I like having an empty nest and I don't feel lonely at all." Chris, on the other hand, remains in a long-tern relationship with Jane Bird, who he met shortly after he and Ingrid legally parted ways.

ITV I'm A Celebrity star reveals why he's turned down TV dating shows
ITV I'm A Celebrity star reveals why he's turned down TV dating shows A former I'm A Me Out of Here! star has opened up about his love life and why he's not looking for love on dating shows Radio personality and former I'm A Me Out of Here! campemate Toby Anstis has recently divulged why he opts out of dating shows. During his guest appearance on the Suddenly Single podcast with Siobhan Wykes and Tim Vincent, the Heart Breakfast presenter was candid about his personal life. Toby shared his reasons for declining to participate in televised dating games, attributing his decision to his own journey through therapy and comfort with being single. Expressing his contentment, he remarked: "I feel very grateful and happy in life. I don't have to be in a relationship," reports the Express. The I'm A Celeb star spoke about his love life (Image: (Image: Global) ) "I've done a lot of therapy, a lot of work on myself, so I feel like I'm in a good place so I wouldn't want to throw my vulnerability out there on a dating show. To be filmed going through all of that... you don't have to do that on an app." Article continues below On the subject of online dating, he recounted amusing encounters with sceptical users who doubted the authenticity of his profiles. "People say 'you're a catfish, I hope Toby knows you've nicked his photos'," he laughed. The star revealed that he's content being single (Image: (Image: Ian Vogler/Daily Mirror) ) With a perspective that people of all professions should be entitled to search for companionship without judgement, Toby added: "It doesn't matter what you do for a living, we are all entitled to try and find an amazing person. We're all allowed to be out there, it doesn't matter whether you're a nurse or a presenter. People shouldn't feel objectionable to people who have a profile, saying 'what are you doing trying to get a date on here.'" Further into the interview, Toby spoke about the speculation surrounding a potential romantic link with Priscilla Presley in 2013. He made it clear they were just casual acquaintances who shared a "friendly dinner" after Warwick Davis introduced them. Explaining the surreal nature of their meeting, he commented: "The incredible thing was sitting with Priscilla and her talking to us about Elvis and their life in Graceland. I had a bit of an out of body experience – I'm with Priscilla and she's talking about The King. I count myself lucky to have met her as she's a charming, lovely woman, but that was that." Article continues below Toby also reminisced about his time on season 6 of 'I'm A Celebrity' in 2006, which was the same year Matt Willis from Busted won the title of King of the Jungle. I'm A Celebrity is available to watch on ITVX.
