Ali Marsh, 54, is never surprised to hear of the latest celebrity infidelity scandal. Most of her work – running a private investigations agency – comes from suspicious spouses. And while the reality of being a PI might not be all you see on TV, it’s certainly proved satisfying and rewarding for Ali.
Here, she tells us what her job’s really like and shares some tips on how to tell if your partner’s betraying your trust…

I started some surveillance, watching her coming and going for a few Wednesdays. I noticed that her next door neighbour was also going out at the same time on a Wednesday. I followed him and soon discovered they were having an affair.
