Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter poked fun at her long history of tumultuous romantic encounters and the outrageous way her former husband discovered her infidelity. 

The 76-year-old broadcaster has been married four times and tied the knot with her first husband – photographer Tim Street-Porter – when she was just 19 years old. 

Known for her candid chats and no-frills attitude when it comes to discussing topical issues in society, the red-haired TV star opened up about her love life during an episode of the panel show on Monday. 

Following Vanessa Feltz’s announcement of her recent breakup, the famous ladies were discussing whether or not trust could be rebuilt once broken. 

While co-panellists Ruth Langsford, Dame Kelly Holmes and Linda Robson seemingly agreed there was no chance once the tie was severed, Janet had a different opinion. 

She began sharing her thoughts by joking about her public love life and the fact that intimate details of her relationships were no secret to anyone.

Revealing she had cheated in the past, Dame Kelly was shocked to learn her fellow presenter had a string of affairs during her many marriages. 

‘One of my husbands caught me in the boot of a car,’ Janet started.

‘I was fleeing from a restaurant with my boyfriend and ran off and the next day he said he wanted to get divorced on Monday and I thought about it Sunday and I said, “Do you know what? We’ve had a good run for our money”.

‘I met him in the lawyer’s office and said, “I’m sorry to tell you this, I don’t want forgiveness, you are perfectly entitled to divorce me, I have behaved appallingly and I think it would be better for both of us if we got divorced.”’ 

She continued: ‘And in fact, we got divorced and we remained friends and I very much liked his next wife and we got on very well.’

Linda then joked she wanted to know what car it was as it must have been a rather large boot which prompted an eruption of laughter from the audience. 

Her advice to anyone struggling with extra-marital affairs? ‘Park it like parking a car, you’ve done it and you’ve gone home and you make the dinner and you carry on as normal.

‘If they find out, well, they find out and it’s how they deal with it’. 

Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV
