Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville’s wife Lulu in tears in pub as she tells friends of their split
THE heartbroken wife of Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville wept in a pub as she told friends of their split.
Yesterday’s Sun on Sunday broke news of the shock separation after 25 years of marriage.
Wife Lulu, 55, was overheard loudly pouring her heart out in a boozer near the marital home in West Sussex.
A local said: “She got incredibly emotional talking about the break-up.”
The Sun can also reveal Hugh, 59, left Lulu — real name Lucinda — in July.
A source said: “He sat Lulu down one evening and said it’s over.
“It came totally out of the blue.”
Lulu is understood to have recently gone on holiday with pals in a bid to take her mind off it.
A representative for Hugh was approached for comment yesterday.
In 2012, Lulu said she was not fazed by her hubby’s fame.
She said: “I don’t take any notice.
“I don’t notice women fawning over him – although I know everybody talks about it.
“Don’t forget, we met as teenagers and have a lot of history.
“We’re not fazed by the glitz of the showbusiness world.”
