ADAM LEAVES HIS WIFE
No sooner had Samantha and Rita confessed their marriage splits, it was revealed that Adam Woodyatt (aka Ian Beale) had also secretly broken up with wife Beverley Sharp last year, after 22 years of marriage.
A spokesperson for the star said that the couple split up in 2019, and were on good terms. But some insiders disagreed, claiming it was far more acrimonious behind the scenes – as Adam, 52, was alleged to have walked out on Beverley without warning, with one saying he “has shown her no respect at all”. The insider added that Beverley “didn’t even know where he’d gone and has only seen Adam once since he’s left”, but had kept her silence for the sake of their two children, daughter Jessica, 27, and son Samuel, 23. They also said, “The media briefings all seem to be about protecting Adam’s reputation.”
News of the split follows reports that Adam is being temporarily “written out” of Eastenders after 35 years on the soap, and is set to be taking a prolonged “holiday”. n
