Go for the full Monte you millionair­e wives

“THE thing we forget about Candice is that she a has never been in Off studio before – Bake was in a tent.” Evans Pro skater Matt Morning speaking on This about partner Candice from Brown’s eviction Dancing On Ice. GO on girls, admit it: What woman hasn’t dreamed about marrying a millionair­e at some point?

Hell, Marilyn Monroe even made a movie which taught us how to do it.

But this week, BBC1’s Millionair­es’ Ex-Wives Club showed us that while it might be fun for a while, when super-rich men get bored it’s not just their yachts they change, it’s their wives.

And when it all goes 16-carat diamond pear-shaped, then let battle begin.

We learned that the only thing more dangerous than a woman scorned is one with the means to hire the best lawyers in town... to go after the man who scorned her.

Donald Trump’s ex, Ivana, once said: “Don’t get mad – get everything.”

And these girls obviously listened to her, because they certainly mean business.

Betrayal

Stunning Lisa Tchenguiz, 52, was married to Vivian Imerman, former CEO of Del Monte for nine happy years. Now the man from Del Monte, he normally says Yes.

Not this one. After suddenly going back to his first wife it was game on – and rightly so. Feisty Lisa felt she had been a great wife, partner and mother to his child and was certainly not going to take his betrayal lightly. Good on yer, girl!

After all, Vivian made mega millions while they were together and Lisa wanted her fair share.

Obscene amounts of money spent in legal fees and nearly half a decade later, she settled for £15million.

“I didn’t want to spend another second trying to salvage a past life that wasn’t worth salvaging,” she said.

Lisa was born into wealth and didn’t need to gain money from her marriage. It was her pride that had been hurt and, for that, Vivian needed to pay.

But years later, Lisa is deliriousl­y happy with a new man – American aircraft entreprene­ur Steve Varsano – who adores and treats her like a queen. Now that’s a reward money can’t buy.

Michelle Young’s story, however, is a sorry tale and has been tabloid fodder for over 10 years.

Originally awarded £26million after her marriage to dodgy property dealer Scot Young fell apart, she has never seen a penny of it and presently lives in a basement flat – a far cry from the country estate she used to have.

Even though her ex-husband died after falling 60ft from the fourth- floor window of a £ 3million penthouse three years ago, she has racked up £ 17million in debt to fund litigation. Michelle is still determined to track down the millions she’s owed. It is the longest-running divorce case in legal history and at the last count she had notched up 65 court hearings and 13 sets of lawyers.

“It’s never entered my mind to give up. This isn’t over yet,” Michelle said with a steely determinat­ion.

And I’m sure she means it. The lawyers interviewe­d in this show were almost as interestin­g as the ex-wives and proved this is far too good for just a one-off.

The Beeb should turn it into a full series. These determined divorcees can give The Real Housewives a run for their husbands’ money any day! Packed with sun, sea, surf and Rylan’s clever quips, the show was perfect escapism to dip into on these chilly dark nights. Host-with-the-most Rylan has been making waves ever since he appeared on X Factor. He’s held his own with Hollywood A-listers on This Morning aand hosted Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On TheThe Side. He’s not only massively nice talented bbut is a genuinely all-round honest, guy and a bloody hard grafter. To be and you’dyoyu’d go a long way to find a nicer morem entertaini­ng man in telly. “It reminds me of what I missed out on. If I learned anything from Dad, sadly it was how not to be a father, but that’s an important lesson.” Pro Green seems a decent guy who hasn’t forgotten his roots. It’s been a great series and I hope he makes more.
