Nigel Havers<\/a> said his wife, Georgiana Bronfman, “flew into a rage” after he agreed to appear on Piers Morgan<\/a>‘s Life Stories. The 74-year-old gave an in-depth interview about his personal life and 50-year career on the ITV<\/a> show back in 2017.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his appearance, Nigel admitted it sparked an argument with his third wife of 18 years before they reached a deal.<\/p>\n

“George always said that I mustn’t do Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, but they offered me so much money, it was impossible to say no,” he revealed.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t tell her I was doing it until the day before recording, and she flew into a rage.”<\/p>\n

After “she disappeared for a while,” Nigel said she returned with a compromise.<\/p>\n

He recalled: “I did worry, but then she came back and said, ‘You can do the show, but we’re getting a dog’.<\/p>\n

“And I said ‘that’s fine,’ although when I suggested calling it Piers, she nearly smacked me,” he added to Saga Magazine.<\/p>\n

“We settled on Charlie, a black poodle. Needless to say, I adore her.”<\/p>\n

While Georgiana was annoyed at first, the actor redeemed himself by speaking very fondly of her during the interview.<\/p>\n

Addressing life her, he told the host: “We had racing friends, because I am crazy about horse racing<\/a> and so is she.<\/p>\n

“She had been single for a long time, I was fairly newly single, and we just rocked on so well,” he added before emotionally continuing: “I’m so happy.”<\/p>\n

Nigel went on to praise his “fantastic” wife, adding: “I’m very lucky.”<\/p>\n

Asked why he was so emotional while discussing her, he replied: “It’s my luck, I think. We only live once, don’t we? Make the most of it. And I’m just having a wonderful time.”<\/p>\n

The presenter also touched upon his first marriage to Carolyn Cox, where he admitted to being unfaithful.<\/p>\n

During their marriage from 1974 to 1989, they welcomed one child together, a daughter named Kate.<\/p>\n

Touching upon his infidelity while with Carolyn, he said: “I couldn’t resist these gorgeous women. I also always thought it wasn’t such a big deal- it is more now.<\/p>\n

“It’s a good thing that I am totally faithful now.”<\/p>\n

While their marriage was over, Nigel was said to be by Carolyn’s bedside with their daughter when she died, after a short battle with pneumonia in 2011.<\/p>\n

He faced more heartache when his second spouse Polly Williams died from cancer 15 years into their marriage.<\/p>\n

Previously speaking on Loose Women<\/a>, he said: “It was that sudden. It was a major shock, as you can imagine. That’s a very tough one to get.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nigel Havers spoke of the deal his wife struck with him to appear on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[7111,96,347,6692,5780,15725,8699,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-343605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-cheating","tag-entertainment","tag-itv","tag-loose-women","tag-marriage","tag-nigel-havers","tag-piers-morgan","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
