BGT's Francine Lewis will 'never forgive' husband after 'disgusting' texts to woman

Francine Lewis has vowed to 'never forgive' her husband of 17 years after she accused him of cheating on her during a live TV appearance on Friday.

The 47-year-old Britain's Got Talent comedian is said to be "devastated" by "crude" and "disgusting" messages she has accused Joel Ryan of sending to his best friend's girlfriend.

Francine's husband has denied all the claims she has made about his alleged affair.

Britain's Got Talent comedian Francine Lewis has vowed she will never forgive her husband after she accused him of cheating on her live on GB News on Friday.

A spokesperson for Francine has told MailOnline that she is "going through hell" after the revelation and that she was "100% sure" that he had been unfaithful before she told all on GB News.

The spokesperson said: "She will not forgive Joel. Despite his denial, she still believes he has been unfaithful after seeing the messages.

'She would never break up her family home and marriage of 17 years if she wasn’t 100% sure that he was unfaithful. Francine is devastated for the children."

They added: "She is going through hell. This has come as a great shock to her."

The spokesperson added that the alleged text messages were "very crude" and also contained details of "when they should meet".

Francine had also apparently seen "messages that he had deleted" and the spokesperson insisted that there was "no plan to reveal the affair on TV".

They added that is was "her truth" and "spur of the moment" and was being "honest, vulnerable and very, very brave".

She has since unfollowed her husband on Instagram.

Joel has denied the allegations made by Francine and he told GB News: "I haven’t had an affair and I totally deny all of the claims made against me.

"I sent some messages to a friend’s partner and I hugely regret sending them, but I did not cheat or have an affair.

"I love Francine very much and I am ashamed of what I did and deeply sorry for the hurt I have caused. I just want to focus on my marriage."

The comedian, who starred on Britain's Got Talent in 2013, appeared on GB News to discuss fraud and how she was scammed out of £90,000.

As the segment came to an end, Francine told hosts Patrick Christys and Inaya Folarin Iman about the alleged affair.

She said: "There's so many scams going on all the time, but you know what's ironic? I stuck with my husband through this whole thing and last night I found out he was cheating on me with his best friend's girlfriend."

Francine continued: "You know what, I wish I'd gone there and then. He put me in that situation and now he's put me in this situation and I'm devastated."

When asked if she was okay, Francine replied: "'I will be. I'm still in shock and numb but you know what I'll get through it, I have to, I have two children."

Francine and Joel, who is the director of a construction company, married in 2005 and they have two children together, Brooke and Jake.
