Damian’s tough love

BEFORE Peaky Blinders star Helen MCCRORY died of cancer at 52, she told her husband Damian Lewis, ‘love isn’t possessive’.

Helen wanted him to find happiness again, though she added with her inimitable humour she’d prefer it if Damian didn’t ‘ snog someone at my funeral’.

Fifteen months later, he is dating american rocker alison mosshart, 43. In the days to come, who will find it harder: alison, as she tries not to fill Helen’s shoes, or his two teenage children who have to share Dad with another woman when the loss of their mum is still raw?
