Beverley Turner says she felt like she "won the lottery" when she met new partner James Pritchett and reckons he's the perfect man in every way.
The GB News presenter has moved on from her split with ex-Olympian James Cracknell, who has since found love again and walked down the aisle. He was previously married to Beverley for 17 years with the pair splitting in March 2019, nine years after the sportsman suffered a devastating brain injury that Beverley claimed changed his personality.
The 50-year-old presenter met her new man, 36, through a friend months before her ex got hitched. James, who works for an eco housing company, is great in every way says Beverley - including in the bedroom. She told MailOnline: "When we were first falling in love, I realised he was reading my mind in terms of what I needed - not in the bedroom, although he was good at that, too - but in general.
"There was obvious chemistry, but I was a middle-aged woman with three kids and I never thought for a minute this man would come into my life, and transform it. I like to think that I had such a hard time for the last eight years of my marriage that the love gods looked down on me, thought 'let's give her a break', and delivered me the perfect man."

Taking to Instagram on ex James' wedding day, Beverley admitted 'you never feel totally fine' as she discussed their divorce in a self-filmed video on the social media platform.

"It's a strange day today, my ex-husband got married today - which is quite a strange thing to say and I thought I was going to be totally OK with it, and I am OK with it," she said. "I'm happier now than I have been for many years and I know James is happier now than he has been for many years - and a big part of that is Jordan, his wife. But it also made me quite pensive and I couldn't quite work out why," she confessed.
Beverley went on: "You never get married thinking you're going to get divorced and although the kids are great and I have a new partner who is amazing with them and in many ways they are lively, resilient children. "You never have divorced parents as something that you're totally fine with. I just wanted to say that, but the other thing, I know that lots of people who are part of the brain injury world do follow me, even if you are in the darkest bits of those journeys - which you might be now - you do see the sun again at some point."
After sharing the video, Beverley took to Twitter to post a selfie of herself posing with her new boyfriend James, then 32, to wish them both well. She wrote alongside it: "Huge congratulations from us both to @jamescracknell who gets married today to a wonderful woman who makes him happy. Marriage, brain injury and divorce was never Plan A. But to anyone currently in the dark, the sun WILL come out again one day."
