Hello Everyone - I have supported Gareth form Pop Idol days and also through other 'Headline' news but he was a young boy then - now he is a man and does know how the theatre world works and also the Press so he obviously has known that the 'story' would be published so announced the split first . Unfortunately this situation is very normal for the theatre world but I had hoped that for Gareth and Suzanne it would be different - not to be. I wish them well as a working partnership, the drama school that has been formed is an enormous success and I hope that will continue. Long time apart is not good for a marriage and this could only get worse when Missy goes to school as changing schools is not a good option even if it meant more being as a 'family'. There are bound to be bad comments, which there has been cause for whether one likes them or not - but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and hopefully this will fade from news very quickly. I hope though that in the future that care is taken so any headlines from the press are of good achievement rather than situations that can only be negative and take away from a great talent and much achievement. Hugs Browneyes.

Hi Browneyes, I too have followed Gareth since the very first Pop Idol programme. Everyone who knows me knows I am a fan, but over the years have noticed that some of my friends seem to take a bit of a delight in breaking their necks to tell me every bit of negative publicity that has ever been published about Gareth (as if I hadn't read it already)! Of course, every time they did this I reacted the same way, defensively and angrily, until one day I just laughed it off and changed the subject. They don't do it now as I refuse to get wound up about it. Whilst I like to consider myself a loyal fan of Gareth, as I don't really follow any other artist the same way, I am not silly enough to believe that everything that Gareth says and does is right all the time. He is just the same as the rest of us and doesn't get it right all the time. The difference is when I make ill judged decisions, which I am sure I do all the time, it's not plastered all over the news and nobody would be interested anyway! As I am not going to the pantomime as its too far for me to travel I hadn't realised that Faye Brookes was also in it too. I read an article written recently (since the photos appeared a couple of weeks ago) by an established actress who has been in touring productions too. She puts a very good account of how things are with the touring company whilst out "on the road" caught in their own bubble of lunch at Weatherspoons, etc etc etc and that they become oblivious to everything else outside of this bubble. It might just account for how these things evolve and get a bit out of hand. I have tried to look for the link, but can't seem to find it now and can't even remember the name of the actress either! Anyway, to all those who have tickets for the forthcoming pantomime I do hope it goes well which I am sure it will and you all have a good time. x x

I read that article too. The author was Daniella Gibb I think. Some of what she said was very interesting and very much how it is when you're away for weeks/months on tour I would imagine.

Strange you should post this too. Its almost word for word a conversation I had with another Gareth fan a few weeks ago. I always used to think Gareth was perfect in every way and I very much put him on a pedestal. Now I too have realized he is a normal person who can make mistakes or act a bit unwisely sometimes just like the rest of us. I still think he is an amazing person, both as an entertainer/singer and also as a very loving, kind and inspiring person, but since I've woken up to the fact that he is a human being with faults like the rest of us, I can react in a much calmer way than I used to when I read unkind things about him. .

Val - I haven't read the post you had with another Gareth fan a few months ago. Like you and many others on this forum we all have come to the realisation that Gareth is just like us (hopefully normal!) and prone to the same temptations. I am pleased that you remembered who the actress was who wrote that article I mentioned because when I read it it made me realise why these things happen and strangely it made me feel better and I think it would help other people on here too. Thank you for posting the actresses name. X

Over the past couple of years I have followed Gareth on twitter and some of his tweets did not really seem consistent with a happily married man in my opinion

I see what you mean and sometimes I kind of felt the same but then I thought no as he has always said about relationships being private in which case he's not going to tweet stuff about what him and suzanne spend some of their time doing.

The theatre is like family I think especially in a touring show as they are cut off from family and friends most of he time.Gareth has also been very busy over the last 3 yrs, Suzanne has done her best to make sure he has seen as much as possible of her and Missy but I think it must have been very difficult for both of them. There has also been the gigs and Dj'ing to fit in and all the socialising that has to be done for contacts as well as pleasure and future career moves. it would look bad if gareth was always the one having to dash off home but I do feel for Suzanne especially with her not having her parents on hand to babysit, and so not allowing them to go out together as a couple. So can really see how they have grown apart. But time will tell and they say absence makes the heart grow fonder so who knows what will happen in the future. They will both be feeling very raw at the moment and trying to adjust to a new life which will take time.

Yes there's probably several different things contributing to this, can't be just how hard he works as if him being so busy was the only reason, how's any other relationship going to work especially once he has had children with them as it would be just as hard for them to see each other.
