Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter talks love, five marriages, Elton John & regretting nothing

Fearless newspaper editor, TV producer, and now the feistiest woman left on the Loose Women panel, Janet Street-Porter talks frankly about her five marriages, the seven-year itch, cheating regrets and why jealousy should never eat you up. She also hilariously admits she learnt nothing about relationships from her mum, who once told TV presenter Russell Harty, ‘I don’t know what TV people see in Janet!’

In this brilliantly candid episode of Suddenly Single, Janet Street-Porter looks back at the love, marriage, divorce and heartbreak that have shaped her extraordinary life. From marrying her first husband, photographer Tim Street-Porter, at just 20 to admitting her own infidelity and revealing why she believes she saved the best husband until last, Janet holds very little back.

The Loose Women star also talks about putting her career before relationships, why she never wanted children, her complicated relationship with her mother, and the tragic circumstances surrounding the breakdown of one of her marriages. She shares her refreshingly practical attitude towards ex-husbands, jealousy, anger and moving on after a relationship ends.

Janet also reveals why she has never tried dating apps, how she met her current husband Peter, what she really thinks about separate bedrooms, and why curiosity and independence have kept her moving forward throughout her life.

Plus, there are stories from Janet’s incredible career in British television, newspapers and magazines, her love of London, art and opera, her Off the Leash tour and even a fabulous endorsement from Elton John: “The bitch is back!”

And stay to the end as Janet takes on the Suddenly Single Honesty Box, answering quick-fire questions about passion, kissing, snoring, saying sorry, checking a partner’s phone and the realities of long-term relationships.

Suddenly Single is the podcast about starting again after love, heartbreak and divorce, featuring honest conversations with famous faces about relationships, dating, break-ups and finding happiness again.
