Anthea Turner says Anne Robinson was ‘spiteful’ about her divorce

Anthea Turner Anne Robinson Divorce PETER POWELL

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.
