After the pair’s passionate sex life decreased, things got out of control when Martin apparently didn’t invite Lucy to a party he was throwing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next evening, the couple headed to their favourite Chinese restaurant. During the meal, Martin apparently yelled at Lucy: “You are an embarrassment.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucy knew in that moment that their marriage was over and later spoke out about her divorce in 1997 in an interview with The Mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said:\u00a0“He told me I was boring and different and I just thought: ‘No more.’<\/p>\n
“I stood up and said ‘thanks for dinner – this is the end’ and stormed out. I sat in the car shaking with rage.<\/p>\n

“Later I went back and Martin was sitting there, surrounded by take- away cartons filled with our meal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He just looked at me. I took off my gold wedding ring, slammed it on the table and walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We both knew it was over. I was furious when I found out he had gone to a party without telling me.<\/p>\n
“Worse than that, he had said he was going out with just a couple of male actor friends.\u00a0He tried to make out he had told me, but the truth is he just didn’t want me there.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martin is currently married to his second wife Phillippa Braithwaite. They married in 1997.\u00a0<\/p>\n
