Former ITV star's hidden five-year romance with mystery boyfriend after divorce
Former ITV star Sian Lloyd reveals secret five-year romance with mystery boyfriend after her bitter divorce.
The 65-year-old split from motor racing entrepreneur Jonathan Ashman in 2015 after seven years of marriage, and now, the weather presenter has another man in her life, but has refused to reveal his name. Sian said they met through friends after taking part in the reality show Our Shirley Valentine Summer, in which she and other single female celebrities, including Ingrid Tarrant and Lizzie Cundy, tried to find love on a Greek island.
Sian said she was single for four years before agreeing to sign up to the ITV show, which was inspired by the iconic 1980s movie starring Pauline Collins as a bored housewife who flees Liverpool to find herself. And she admitted she failed to find love in Greece because she wasn’t prepared to settle for “any old Tom, Dick or Harry.”

Speaking to Bella magazine about her mystery man, Sian explained: “We met through friends and have been together for almost five years. It’s absolutely fantastic and we are really happy together.”
Sian, who is the country’s longest-serving weather presenter, appearing on ITV Weather from 1990 until 2014, also tried to find love on Channel 4’s Celebrity First Dates in 2015, and confessed she was “still feeling very raw” following her shock split from ex husband Jonathan. “I was married for eight years and it was the happiest eight years of my life. We had the most amazing marriage and one day he just left,” she sadly shared.

Sian appeared on ITV's Our Shirley Valentine Summer shortly before meeting her new partner (ITV)Jonathan’s daughter Suzanne wed Tony Blair’s son Euan Blair in 2013, but Sian was reportedly left devastated when she was cruelly uninvited from the nuptials. Just two years later, she and Jonathan had split, and she moved out of their £2.5million house in Kensington, west London, and returned to her five-bedroom home in Wales.
In March 2015, the former weather presenter took legal action so Jonathan could not sell it without her consent, and according to MailOnline, the couple are prohibited from talking about their relationship as they are bound by a court gagging order. Sian also previously dated former Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik, and was humiliated back in 2006 when it emerged he was cheating on her.
Sian called off their engagement when it emerged he was having an affair with Gabriela Irimia, one half of the Cheeky Girls. At the time, she claimed Lembit was seduced by the fame, and fumed: “They're not part of my culture. I don't want the same things that they do - like turn up at the opening of an envelope. Maybe Lembit gets off on it.”
