Husband of newsreader 'devastated' after she dumps him for co-presenter Mr Willcox, a former member of the British Youth Orchestra, was said to have been a guest at the pair's wedding in June 2010, and even serenaded them with a trumpet. It was understood that the two presenters had told their respective partners "a couple of months ago" that the marriages were over. Mr Willcox, who has been married for 17 years and has four children, of school age, with wife Sarah, also 49, reportedly told her he had fallen hopelessly in love with his younger colleague. Mrs Wilcox is clerk of the parish council in the Oxfordshire village where the couple have a family home, and yesterday politely declined to comment. Last night the BBC said the situation was a "personal matter." A spokesman said: "They haven't been banned from appearing together because they aren't paired to be on screen."
