Then getting divorced fewer than three years later...
“I was doing silly stupid things,” Moran, 53, admits. Whether it was swearing on telly or getting into fisticuffs.
“I was all over the tabloids my life destroyed, relationships ruined, really difficult and unpleasant. I did it when I was 30 and I don’t want to do it again.”
