Stand-up comedian Stewart Lee splits from wife of 17 years
COMEDIAN Stewart Lee yesterday confirmed he has split from his wife of 17 years, fellow stand-up Bridget Christie.
Stand-up circuit stalwart Stewart, 55, and Bridget, 51, remain friends to support their children aged 16 and 12.
A publicist added the couple had been living apart for two years.
Stewart is said to have grown close to Rosie Holt, in her 30s, after featuring on her podcast last year.
She is known for posting satirical videos on Twitter, where she has 300,000 followers.
Stewart met TV’s Ghosts star Bridget in 2004.
They wed two years later and set up home in North London.
On Friday night she attended Rosie’s show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
