Rob Brydon: I felt like an utter failure after divorce

The Gavin And Stacey actor, 56, married first wife Martina Fitchie in 1992 and they had children Katie, 27, Harry, 25, and Amy, 23.

They split in 2000. And that was the year he won Best Comedy Newcomer.

He said: “Suddenly, I’m at the British Comedy Awards and Michael Palin is congratulating me.

“But while you’re being praised, inside you’re feeling an utter failure because your personal life is falling apart. And that’s not a nice mix.”

Rob married second wife Clare Holland in 2006 and together they’ve had Tom, 13, and George, 10.
