She famously suffered a humiliating end to her
\nfirst marriage when her husband Grant Bovey ran off with his best friend’s
\nwife, TV golden girl Anthea Turner.
<\/span><\/p>\n

But now Della Bovey has ended her second
\nmarriage – after dumping her second husband for a builder.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother-of-three Della, whose battle over Mr
\nBovey with former Blue Peter presenter Anthea became front-page news, told her
\nproperty developer husband James Williams their marriage was over in the New Year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

History repeating itself: Grant Bovey ran off with his best friend’s
\nwife, Anthea Turner (left)… and now his ex, Della Bovey, has dumped
\nher second husband, James Williams (pictured, right, at their wedding in
\n2001) for a family friend<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A month later she moved father-of-one Steve
\nLogan, a successful local builder whose clients have included TV duo Ant and
\nDec, into her \u00a31.5million mansion in Pulborough, West Sussex, after he walked out on his partner and their young
\nson.
<\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhen The Mail on Sunday visited last week, Mr
\nLogan’s white van was parked in Della’s drive, although he is understood to be
\naway on business in America.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Logan’s partner Carol Glenister said
\nyesterday: ‘It’s so ironic. Della has done the very thing she complained so
\nbitterly about all those years ago.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuckolded Mr Williams, a cousin of pop star Phil
\nCollins, says he was left with no option but to move in with his mother after his wife told him about her affair with Mr Logan, a family friend for more than ten
\nyears.
<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMr Williams, who married Della in 2001, said he was at ‘a total loss’ over the end of his marriage and
\nstruggling to come to terms with the betrayal.
<\/span><\/p>\n


\nHe said: ‘I moved out even though it was Della
\nwho was unfaithful. I had no idea Della was doing this, but after she told me I
\nsuddenly had this feeling about Steve.
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Affair: Della (left) has moved builder Steve Logan (right) – a family friend – into her \u00a31.5m mansion. News of the affair has devastated Mr Williams – and Mr Logan’s partner of 16 years, Carol
\nGlenister<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘He had done some work on Della’s house when she
\nwas married to her ex-husband Grant and he was always around. I went to his
\nhouse and confronted him and he admitted it.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Williams, 46, who lives in the same road as
\nhis estranged wife, added: ‘Things are very tough.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Because I live so close I have to drive past
\nthe house every day but Della won’t speak to me. I’m at a total loss.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1998 it was Della courting public sympathy
\nwhen she discovered her then husband Grant Bovey had been having an affair with
\nsqueaky clean Anthea Turner, wife of his close friend Peter Powell, the Radio 1
\nDJ.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Bovey, who had three young daughters, left his wife for Anthea – then
\nthe second highest-paid woman on TV – triggering a very public tug of love.
<\/span><\/p>\n

It peaked with Della famously being photographed
\ndancing to I Will Survive in a skin-tight red dress at a party where her husband and Anthea were present.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, the carefully orchestrated PR
\ncampaign succeeded and Mr Bovey returned to give the marriage another go.
<\/span><\/p>\n

But
\nhe left again three months later, eventually marrying Anthea in 2000.
<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the same year that Della, who remained in
\nthe family home to raise the couple’s three daughters Lily, now 19, Amelia, 18,
\nand 14-year-old Claudia, met businessman Mr Williams when she hired a car from
\na firm he owned.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Six weeks later, Della and Mr Williams announced
\ntheir engagement and they married 18 months after at a low-key ceremony.
<\/span><\/p>\n

News of Della’s affair has also devastated Mr Logan’s partner of 16 years Carol
\nGlenister, who lives ten minutes away from 47-year-old Della in rural West
\nSussex.
<\/span><\/p>\n


\nSpeaking outside her home, tearful Carol, who
\nworks part-time at a local college and is mother of the couple’s young son,
\ntold The Mail on Sunday: ‘Steve told me a few weeks ago about the affair.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘To be honest I’m still trying to take it in but
\nhe seems to have made his decision and that’s it. It’s over and finished as far
\nas I’m concerned.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘They were really good pals but obviously it has
\ndeveloped over the past few months. It was a close friendship. I have known Della
\nfor many years – she has always been close to my family.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

She added: ‘Della’s not quite the lady she
\npaints herself to be. She came round for parties with her husband James – we
\nwere all friends.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I can’t quite believe this has happened. I have
\na son to think about, he’s heartbroken as well. This is a very difficult time.’
<\/span><\/p>\n


\nDella declined to comment when approached at her
\nhome.
<\/span><\/p>\n

She said: ‘I don’t deal with the media, I have
\nnothing to say about the matter. I’m not going to talk about it, you’re wasting
\nyour time. No comment whatsoever.’<\/span><\/p>\n
