And if this was an entirely private thing, that would be bad enough.

I mean, I've been genuinely touched this week by some of the messages I've had by women who've been betrayed by their husbands, lied to by their husbands, not in identical circumstances, although some in, you know, not dissimilar circumstances.

And speaking to me about just the depth of hurt they feel, and I feel all of that, but it's more than that.

He has put me into a position of real peril.

He has subjected me to public vilification, having the finger of suspicion pointed at me.

Humiliation allowed me to be seen on camera

using things, wearing a piece.

And I can talk to you, if you want, about a particular piece of jewellery, because it deeply upsets me.

The Shetlands.

I'll come back to that in a second.

But he has allowed me to be on camera with these things, things that I thought were birthday presents or Christmas presents or just gifts he bought me as my husband.

And that's the other part of this.

I'm now in a position of even some of my birthday presents and Christmas presents have turned out to be a lie.

And that's really difficult to come to terms with for anybody in private.

But I'm doing this in the full glare of publicity and I understand why.

But I think the other thing

that it's felt to me in the last week has just been conveniently cast to one side is that again because of his actions i was subjected to a two-year police investigation a police investigation

that was clearly very well resourced, that was exhaustive and detailed and forensic.

And at the end of that police investigation, I was exonerated.

If there had been a shred of evidence that I had been complicit in this or had known about what he was doing, then I wouldn't have been cleared.
