Anthea Turner says Anne Robinson was ‘spiteful’ about her divorce
- Anthea Turner has criticised former Countdown presenter Anne Robinson for writing “very spiteful things” about her following her divorce from DJ Peter Powell.
- Turner made headlines in 1998 after leaving Powell for property developer Grant Bovey, whom she married the following year.
- She stated that Robinson, then a columnist for The Express, and journalist Lynda Lee-Potter “made my life hell” after her affair with Bovey became public.
- Turner, who was labelled a “homewrecker” by the press, admitted she “felt terrible” about breaking up Bovey’s previous marriage.
- She also revealed that her marriage to Bovey ended in 2012 due to his infidelity, coinciding with her going through menopause and his business struggles.
