Richard was pictured walking with Lucie Rose (above) outside a five-star hotel in west London last month<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis prompted his furious wife of 34 years to claim that he had continued an affair with Lucie – their actress daughter Jemma’s lawyer friend.<\/p>\n
In her first interview since reports of the affair re-emerged, Julia alleges she caught her husband receiving late-night texts from the younger woman.<\/p>\n
She describes how, during a trip to Cornwall, she ended up replying to a message from Lucie after it popped up on her spouse’s phone.<\/p>\n
At the time, Richard was asleep.<\/p>\n
“Suddenly a message came through from Lucie saying, ‘Are you OK?’. I took the phone and pretended to be Richard, and wrote ‘No. I\u2019m not,’ Julia tells the Mail on Sunday .<\/p>\n
“The response was, ‘You sound so sad. I wish I was there to give you a big cuddle.’ We went on messaging from there,” she adds.<\/p>\n
Julia claims that when she confronted her husband about the messages, he finally admitted that he had become “extremely close” to Lucie.<\/p>\nJulia claims that she caught her husband receiving late-night texts from the younger woman (Photo: Steve Bainbridge\/Sunday Mirror)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHe had previously responded angrily and defensively when his wife had quizzed him about the way he was “dealing with his phone”, it is alleged.<\/p>\n
During the interview, Julia also explains how Lucie walked over to her and grabbed her by the arm during a birthday party for Richard.<\/p>\n
“[She] said, ‘Oh, are you going now, Julia?’ It was the tone she used,” the mum-of-two tells the newspaper. “That was the moment I knew.”<\/p>\n
Julia, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, says she was extremely upset after her husband finally admitted he had got “close” to Lucie.<\/p>\n
A trained counsellor, she has now written a book called The Manscript , which helps readers to identify when their partner is cheating on them.<\/p>\n
It also offers them advice on how to cope with an unfaithful relationship.<\/p>\n
In her interview, Julia claims that working on the book actually helped her to realise her husband was showing classic symptoms of infidelity.<\/p>\nRichard is pictured with his former Sky Sports co-presenter, Andy Gray (Photo: David Fisher\/REX\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLast October, allegations emerged that Richard, who has two kids with Julia, had been having a fling with Lucie while working in Qatar.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\n
The sports presenter later posted an update on his official Facebook page.<\/p>\n
He said while his marriage had been “fairly turbulent” recently, the pair have “no desire to split up after 34 years together”.<\/p>\n
He wrote: “What an extra-ordinary 24 hours that has been.”<\/p>\n
Julia claims her lawyers persuaded her to back her husband after the claims got out.<\/p>\n
However, she alleges that, two months later, she learned that Richard had planned to meet his younger lover during a business trip to Dubai.<\/p>\n
A further two months on, she says she has been driven to “press the divorce button” after the recent photos of her husband and Lucie emerged.<\/p>\n
But despite this, she maintains she and Richard have enjoyed “a happy marriage” lasting more than three decades, the Mail on Sunday reports.<\/p>\n
Richard presented the Sky Sports coverage of Premier League football for 19 years before resigning in disgrace over sexist remarks he and co-presenter Andy Gray made off-air about match official Sian Massey.<\/p>\n
In another studio conversation, which was filmed but not transmitted, the presenter asked pundit Jamie Redknapp about a former girlfriend: \u201cDid you smash it?\u201d \u2013 crude slang for: \u201cDid you have sex with her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Julia’s book, Manscript, will be released soon, The Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n
A representative of Richard declined to comment to the newspaper.<\/p>\n
Mirror Online has contacted Richard’s representative and Lucie Rose for comment.<\/p>\n\n
