Paul Ross gay love’s home to let on Airbnb
Guests find pics of TV star and fella in bedroom
Paul and lover are pictured in this snap on website Cluttered kitchen and garden at home let by the star’s pal Paul and Jackie before his fling Barry & Paul
After unpacking her case the visitor spotted loved-up snaps of Ross and Barry Olivier hanging above a bed and on a set of drawers.
They are seen cuddling in images at a €382,000 terraced home rented out by former English teacher Olivier, not far from the flat where he and Ross had drug-fuelled sex sessions.
Married father-of-five Ross, 60, admitted in 2014 that he snorted mephedrone six times a day during a year-long fling with Olivier.
They had met at a dogging hotspot and had sex in the bushes.
One female guest said: “It was a little disconcerting to lie in bed and have images of Ross and his lover looking down on you. The whole thing was just bizarre.”
Another added: “Barry was lovely, but when we got into the house it just seemed strange.”
When Paul’s affair was revealed he admitted collapsing in a car park after snorting mephedrone, adding: “I thought I would die.”
The star – brother of chat host Jonathan and a regular showbiz reporter on ITV’S This Morning – claimed the fling led to his addiction to the drug known as meow meow.
ADDICTION
Paul’s wife Jackie, 55, who he wed in 2004, vowed to stand by him. But in 2015 it emerged she was renting a cottage of the south coast 100 miles from their Berkshire home. Barry, meanwhile, was advertising his home in Maidenhead, Berks, for rent on Airbnb. In an online profile he posted snaps of a bedroom in which pictures of him and Paul can be seen. Barry, who also uses the name Jonathan, wrote: “The property is ideally suited to families, tourists or business parties. 0nly 30 mins by train from London and around 10 minutes from Windsor.” There are more than a dozen positive reviews, with many praising his “quirky, clean and friendly” home. One visitor wrote: “We will definitely stay at his place at our next visit... the beds were very comfortable.” In 2014 Paul blamed financial troubles for sending him off the rails. He said: “Would I describe myself as an addict? Yes, I would. The person I have been over the last 14 months isn’t someone I recognise. I have done things I didn’t think it was possible for a human being to do.” He said he was “too proud” to get help from wealthy little brother Jonathan, 56. When his affair came to light and their fling seemingly ended, heartbroken Barry said he felt “betrayed” after believing the presenter was in love with him. The pair shared a journal in which they wrote love notes using pet names Puck and Pea. dan.warburton@ trinitymirror.com
