Anthea Turner today said she was "devastated" as she broke her silence after reports her marriage to Grant Bovey is in crisis.

The former Blue Peter and GMTV presenter married the property developer 12 years ago.

In a statement released today, she said she was "heartbroken and devastated" but refused to comment further.

The couple are spending time apart after reports Bovey had an affair while she was filming in Canada.

Turner, who has also had stints on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Hell's Kitchen, talked several years ago about the financial pressures she and Bovey had faced.

The one-time TV golden girl had to sell her £10 million estate Barbins Grange in 2009 and a year later Bovey was declared bankrupt after the collapse of his property company Imagine Homes.
