After enduring heartbreak, domestic abuse and debilitating menopausal symptoms, Lisa Snowdon has finally found her happy place

Between her glitzy modelling commercials and big jobs hosting the likes of Britain's Next Top Model, Lisa Snowdon, now 51, has enjoyed a hugely glamorous career. But back in the early 2000s, she was also known for her high-profile relationship with George Clooney. 'George was charming, a really nice man, good fun and we had a great time on-and-off for about five years. It was quite wild, Lisa has said of her ex.

The relationship may have ended in heartbreak, but Lisa did gain one lifelong positive from her association with George - her best friend, Michele. She was George's mate's wife and as soon as we met, we just clicked. She split up with her ex and I split up with George, but we kept in touch; she's like my sister, Lisa revealed recently. We've got a lot of history and memories. I get the interest in George - he was one of the most famous men in the world. I don't see him any more but if I did, it would be all like, "Hi! How are you doing?" But for me, it's all about Michele."
