Anne Diamond Swears Off Marriage

Anne Diamond has said that she will never marry again, after admitting she felt 'pressured' into marrying her now ex-husband Mike Hollingsworth. Speaking on ITV's Loose Women, the television presenter said: "I didn't want to get married. I was pressured into it. I can't think of a reason for wanting to get married again."

The 62-year-old also said: "There was a lot of pressure for me because I was Britain's most famous unmarried mother back in 1987. That was the headline, it was scandalous then. I came under a lot of pressure from my employers.

"I was in breakfast TV at the time and was taken out for a very serious lunch, and these guys at the top of the tree of our company put a lot of pressure on me."

She added that she now no longer believes in marriage, and finds it hard to start a romantic relationship, explaining: "I put up a barrier [when it comes to marriage]. I know I do. I don't know why I do that."

Anne and Mike married in 1989, when she was pregnant with their first son Oliver. The television presenter was criticised at the time because of her relationship with Mike – who was married with a child.

He left his wife for Ann and the couple had five children together. Their marriage broke down after Mike had an affair. They divorced in 1999.
