Would You

[jennyjoan]

Take 31 million pounds from your ex-partner. Lisa Armstrong and Ant.

Although I am not in her position - I don't think I would have taken half maybe just a few million and I'm sure she has her own millions.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

[andy-hughes]

It depends on how much animosity she feels towards him - the more hurt she is, the more money she is going to take.

Divorces are individual, no two are the same, because no two people are the same, and no two break-ups are the same.

I could always use a large sum of money, I have a large extended family, so it would all get spent eventually.

[woofgang]

if he was the one who did wrong then yes absolutely

[Bazile]

No , I would take 32

[mallyh]

it's not going to leave him short ,and we don't know the real truth about what went on behind closed doors .

[Ken4155]

She did the right thing, imho. They were together for 12 years or so and no doubt he earned a vast amount of his wealth while they were a couple. You can bet your bottom dollar, had she been the breadwinner, he would have done exactly the same.

[Bobbisox1]

Probably not, she’s shown herself to be very bitter, not a nice trait in anyone and besides , no children and a very good career of her own

[Ken4155]

He admitted adultery but says he only did so after they split in order to speed up the divorce. Of course, he himself and his PA know whether they did 'the dirty' before or after the marriage break-up.

[jennyjoan]

I know they were together for a length of time but it was over. No, that's correct we don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

[Ken4155]

Think it would take a make-up artist quite some time to earn that amount, Bobbi.

[Ken4155]

As I said, JJ, we don't know if the affair took place while the marriage was still intact. We only have his word and that of his Personal Assistant. Not that either would lie about such a thing. Of course :-//

[Canary42]

It's spite really, but I can't say I blame her.

[Prudie]

31 million each leaves neither poor. We don't know what went on or how she felt. Having your own money doesn't stop you feeling your heart ripped to shreds.She's entitled to it so fair play.

[iluvmargie]

He fell out of love with her, happens all the time. She needs to move on now and forget her bitterness. Personally, I can't stand her.

[Bobbisox1]

Yeah but how on Earth coukd you spend 31 million?? She’s written some dreadful stuff in my local paper, I seriously hope she’s happy with her millionaire status and we hear no more of her

[Prudie]

Once I would have thought it an obscene amount of money but now ---I coud spend it :-)

[Ken4155]

Let's not forget that it was his wife who had to put up with almost 3 years of his addiction to first painkillers, then alcohol. Then, when he's been in rehab and apparently cured, he announces he's having it off with the PA and wants a divorce. Bitter? Of course she is. Good luck to her and I truly hope she enjoys spending every single penny of it.

[Canary42]

/// and we hear no more of her ///

Or him. Some chance.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m afraid that’s not going to happen Canary , definitely over exposed on our screens

[royfromaus]

I think what is amazing is how this run of the mill entertainer has managed to amass 62 million quid.

Also if this was a footballer that had an affair and drove his car drunk the replies would have been different.

[ladybirder]

We don't know what she was like to live with and I don't think he's ever told us so ...
After they split she was bad mouthing him in the papers everyday it seemed which did her no favours at all.
He should have let her have the dog as he was the one to walk away but they have now agreed to share and she seems to be happy with that.
I don't like either of them very much as you might have guessed.
