Martin Clunesâs ex-wife has revealed the brutal comment that allegedly caused the end of their marriage.
Actor Lucy Aston was the first wife of the Doc Martin and Out There star, marrying in 1990. But their relationship broke down three years later â and, according to Aston, this occurred after a row in a Chinese restaurant.
Reflecting on the dissolution of their marriage, Aston recalled how tensions arose as Clunes found success in his acting career, which led to his casting in Men Behaving Badly in 1992.
Aston claimed that the fateful row erupted after Clunes âforgotâ to invite her to a party around this time.
She told The Mirror that the subject came up when they were out for dinner, with Clunes allegedly telling his then wife: âYou are an embarrassment.â
Aston claimed that the actor branded her âdull and boringâ for her decision to shun nights out in favour of staying at home and studying to become a crisis counsellor.
âHe told me I was boring and different and I just thought: âNo more.â I stood up and said, âThanks for dinner â this is the end,â and stormed out. I sat in the car shaking with rage.

She added: âWe both knew it was over.â
The pair divorced in 1997 and Clunes married his second wife, TV producer Philippa Braithwaite, later that year. They are still together and have one daughter, Emily, who was born in 1999.

Clunes previously called his marriage to Aston ârottenâ, telling The Mail in 2008: âWhen I met Philippa I was coming out of a rotten marriage, and was very resistant to the idea of getting involved again.â
The actorâs 1990s sitcom Men Behaving Badly turned 30 in 2022 and, just last year, his co-star Caroline Quentin questioned whether the show could be made today.
âIt was getting pretty past its sell-by date by the last series, really,â Quentin said. âSo weâd be pushing our luck 20 or 30 years later.â
She continued: âYou plough that furrow. And there comes a point where you just go, âUmm, I think weâve done this now.â And the world moved on, mercifully. We didnât have social media in those days, and there are lots of reasons why we couldnât make it now.â
