The television presenter and her husband of 13 years ended their relationship last summer after Bovey was alleged to have cheated on his partner.
Now, in an interview with Woman magazine, 54-year-old Turner has admitted the separation was "awful", adding that she had to turn to therapy to help her move forward.
She explained: "The whole thing has been awful. I've had massive duvet days where I didn't leave the house.
"When a marriage goes wrong, it's like a bereavement and you deal with it like that. My advice is don't be bitter and twisted, you move forward.
"I went to therapy to help me through the bad times and I don't mind admitting that."
She added: "I'm still very close to my stepdaughters. Grant and I are adults, so I'm damned if our lawyers are going to get fat on the breakdown of our marriage. So we are sorting everything out.
"I don't want to end up isolated and bitter, I want to move on."
Bovey, a property developer, left his previous wife for Turner in 1998. They married in 2000. In June 2013, Turner – who is a stepmother to Bovey's three daughters Lily, Amelia and Claudia, from his previous marriage – released a statement confirming the couple had separated.
