CHERIE BLAIR’S EX-FLAME APPALLED BY HER DISCLOSURE
Cherie Blair’s former lover, who was being two timed by her in the mid 1970’s when their families believed that they would marry, is appalled by the indiscrete manner in which his childhood sweetheart has revealed personal details about their relationship in her memoirs.David Attwood, 54, whose name appears no fewer than 32 times in Cherie’s autobiography “speaking for myself” said he was taken aback by the volume of
information his former girlfriend has made public, despite her previous insistence that her private life was off-limits.
“I haven’t read the book and I haven’t read the serialization, so I am not certain what is being said”, said Attwood, now a happily married solicitor living in Southport, near Cherie’s childhood home of Crosby, Merseyside.
“To be quite honest I don’t think it is appropriate to talk about something that happened a long, long time ago,” said Attwood. He was clearly taken aback when he was told that his name appeared more than 30 times in the book. For 33 years he has refused to entertain media requests to discuss his time with his childhood sweat heart Cherie Booth, the report said.
In her controversial memoirs, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair provides lucid account of her complicated sex life, and reveals she cheated on Attwood by sleeping with two other men in mid-1970’s when both their families believed that they might marry. Earlier, John Higham, a judge, named by Cherie as one of her other former lovers, denied the relationship she was referring to, prompting an apology from her. The memoir has created a political controversy and personal embarrassment to a number of senior politicians including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, with the inclusion of revealing personal details of her life before and after in 10 Downing Street.
The book which is serialized by the Times Daily of London reveals how she first slept with Tony Blair before her marriage after they travelled on an empty top deck of a double-decker bus, though she had two other men in her life at that time.In an astonishing disclosure, Cherie also reveals that her fourth child, Leo, was conceived as she had failed to pack her usual contraceptive equipment when she was on a holiday with her husband as guests of the Queen. Many believe that Cherie, who is a prime time judge and presides over cases as a recorder, may have jeopardized her chances of becoming a High Court judge by the indiscrete discussions about her personal life.
