What do you wear on the day your lover gets divorced? A T-shirt with his name on, naturally!

- By Eleanor Sharples TV & Radio Reporter

HER boyfriend Paul Hollywood has just finalised his divorce – and there’s no doubt whose side she was on.

Barmaid Summer Monteys-Fullam showed her loyalty to the TV star with a T-shirt emblazoned with his name.

The 24-year-old was spotted sheltering from the rain in Kent yesterday wearing a black top with ‘Hollywood’ printed in white letters.

It came hours after the Great British Bake Off judge’s 19-year marriage was officially brought to an end.

District Judge Robert Duddridge granted a decree nisi in a hearing at the Central Family Court in London which lasted just one minute – with neither party attending.

Court papers showed that Alexandra Hollywood, 55, had filed for divorce on the grounds of adultery. The judge held that Hollywood, 53, had committed adultery and that his wife found it ‘intolerabl­e’ to live with him.

He concluded that the marriage had broken down irretrieva­bly. The couple first separated in 2013 after Hollywood admitted having an affair with Marcela Valladolid, an American chef 12 years his junior, when they starred together on US television.

The couple, who have a son Josh, 17, were reconciled but split for good in November 2017.

Mrs Hollywood said she knew her marriage was over when she discovered her husband’s relationsh­ip with Miss Monteys-Fullam.

In a recent interview, Mrs Hollywood said: ‘I don’t want to come across in any way sad. I’m not going to say it hasn’t been difficult, but I’m not broken. Divorce hurt. But you keep going.’

She added: ‘Divorce is tough, very tough. You don’t expect it, you are in shock, and all of a sudden you are on your own.’ Mrs Hollywood added that it’s easy to ‘lose yourself’ after getting married and having a family, and that the split had helped her ‘wake up’ to who she really is.
