Moving on! Anthea Turner enjoys a romantic date with Dragon's Den's Richard Farleigh
HER 13-year marriage broke down last year, but it seems that Anthea Turner is well and truly over that heartache as she enjoyed a romantic date this week.
The 54-year-old star looked smitten as she went for dinner with boyfriend Richard Farleigh in London's Belgravia.
The happy couple, who have been dating since last August, are rarely pictured together but on Wednesday evening they didn't care who was watching as they gazed at one another over the dinner table at Italian eatery Olivo.
Anthea had dressed down for their outing, wearing a pair of blue skinny jeans with a white blouse and nude sandals.
She walked closely next to the Dragon's Den star as they strolled down the street and looked deep in conversation with one another.
Once sat inside the restaurant, the pair appeared to be engrossed in each other as they enjoyed glasses of white wine and a delicious meal.
At one point, 53-year-old Richard was seen laughing with Anthea as he tucked into some ice cream.
After their meal, Anthea and Richard took a slow walk back to his house and once again were locked in conversation.
Anthea has clearly moved on from the breakdown of her 13-year marriage to Grant Bovey - who allegedly cheated on her.
Earlier this year, Anthea opened up in an interview about how she had struggled to cope with the split.
"My skin looked grey and became very dry, as though it had lost all its life," she explained.
"My hair also started breaking off. My hairdresser Lino ran his fingers through my hair one day and there was a whole chunk missing."
She continued: "I’m normally healthy and very robust, but I didn’t have any energy and felt tired all the time.
"The lack of sleep was the worst part. I slept for only about three hours a night as my mind was racing all the time and I just couldn’t switch off."
However, the former Dancing On Ice star is now back to her best and looking forward to the future.
"This is an unusual time in my life. I’ve come out of a long marriage and I’m in a transitional period," she said.
"I am an eternal optimist and I will love again. Although it’s been the toughest two years of my life, I’ve learnt so much from it all."
