I’M A Celebrity’s Adam Woodyatt is embroiled in a bitter split from his wife Bev, but their marriage started in an unconventional way.
Adam married dancer Beverley Sharp and the couple have two children together, Jessica Jade and Samuel James.
The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Disney World, Florida, in April 1998.
But Adam quit the marriage in August 2019 after he decided to separate from his wife and was living in a £93,000 motor home in the countryside.
Sources said the split was amicable, however it later emerged the divorce had turned toxic amid claims Adam wasn’t offering Bev a “fair deal”.
Around the same time his marriage broke down, it was revealed Adam would be taking an extended 10-week break from EastEnders.
The Celeb Report also revealed Adam borrowed more than £130,000 from one of his businesses – as he gears up for a costly divorce battle.
Adam took the cash-loan from the recently created Caledfwlch Ltd and the 53-year-old, who plays wheeler-dealer Ian Beale in the BBC soap, has landed himself a very good deal.
According to official paperwork registered at Companies House, Woodyatt, who is the sole director of the business, will only be charged interest of 2.5% per year on the loan.
Woodyatt set up Caledfwlch Ltd, which is Welsh for King Arthur’s sword Excalibur, last February.
Just a few months later it was announced he’d split with his wife of 22 years Beverley.
Latest accounts for the business show £245k has run through its tills since it was set up.
He is also linked to two other companies. One is called XL Management Ltd, where Beverley, 56, remains a co-director. The business boasts assets of close to £700,000.
The pair also jointly run Neat Distillery which specialises in rectifying and blending of spirits.
This company has more modest assets of around £10,000.
Our story comes weeks after it emerged Beverley was struggling for cash.
She is also reportedly furious that Adam signed a six-figure deal to appear on the ITV show.
A pal claimed Beverley — mum to their two children — was irate over his deal because she was “struggling financially and relying on handouts”.
She was even said to have been given food parcels by concerned loved ones.
But Bev has managed to turn her love life around and was spotted on a date with a mystery man this weekend.
She enjoyed a white wine at a London pub while her date sipped on a pint of beer.
Adam’s ex looked happy as she then strolled over to a nearby posh restaurant with the enigmatic beau.
Adam has been at Gwrych Castle for this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! for about a week as tensions flared between the pair amid their split.
Bev has claimed that Adam has left her struggling when it comes to money.
The soap star is believed to have signed a deal worth £250,000 to appear on the ITV1 show, while Bev has been relying on food handouts.
