Anthea Turner Discusses Former Marriage

Anthea Turner has said that she and her former husband, Grant Bovey, may still be together if they had started a family together.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, the 57-year-old spoke about the breakdown of her marriage to Bovey, revealing that she suffered a "double blow" when he walked out on their relationship.

She told the publication: "I did once ask [Grant] if he would have stayed if we'd had our own children, to which he replied, 'Possibly'.

"I shall never know, of course, but I can't pretend it wasn't painful to hear. It was a double blow, I guess."

Turner has previously said that she had several rounds of IVF treatment during her marriage to Bovey but they were never able to have children together.

The couple first met in 1998 and married in 2000, having both left their respective partners.

Speaking about the relationship and the pain it caused others, she added: "Looking back, I regret the pain we caused. It was a terrible time of hurt all round and, knowing what I know now, I am so sorry about it all.

"I can understand why some people think I got my comeuppance when my relationship then went on to deteriorate in the way it did. But I loved Grant and I can't regret the 15 years we had together. There were some very happy times."

Turner and Bovey first separated in 2012 and briefly reconciled before separating for good in 2013. Two years later, they were divorced on the grounds of Bovey's infidelity.
