Ainsley Harriott has opened up about how his status as a 'national treasure' contributed to the breakdown of his 23-year marriage to Clare Fellows in 2012. The TV chef, known for shows like Ready Steady Cook and Can't Cook, Won't Cook, revealed that his public profile made it difficult for his wife to cope with sharing him with the public constantly. Harriott explained that while he enjoys positive interactions with fans, the constant attention was hard on his marriage. Despite the split, Harriott remains on good terms with Clare and continues to have love and feelings for her. He has since moved on with a new partner and values the support he received from friends during the difficult time.
