missed the front-page news that

Hollywood has been dumped by his

new and much-younger lover, over his

insistence she sign a non-disclosure

agreement about their relationship.

Paul is 53 with an IQ to match. The

girlfriend is Summer Monteys-Fullam, 24,

a former barmaid with a taste in skin-tight

jeans, skimpy cropped tops and a knack for

knowing which side her bread is buttered.

THE BACKGROUND

It’s thought Paul and Summer met when he

went into his local pub to organise his wife

Alexandra’s birthday party in 2017. The couple

had been married for 19 years and have a

teenage son, Joshua, now 17. In true celebrity

style, though, nothing happened until after

the Hollywoods announced

the end of their marriage

in November of that year.

Quite what keen

horsewoman Summer

saw in a multimillionaire

television personality is

a bit tricky to work out.

Though it’s certainly

true her smitten older

on a £1,000 a night holiday in Mauritius,

a £9,000 hot tub for her 24th birthday,

a £100,000 Range Rover, a nine-grand ring,

as well as a shared £850,000 home with

stables and, er, chickens.

What Paul saw in Summer is easy to see.

It’s straight out of the sad middle-aged

idiot manual. What everyone else

saw, including the appalled Mrs

Hollywood, was a recipe for disaster.

And it didn’t take long. In less than

two years, Paul’s reputation has gone

from baking stud muffin to sunken

soufflé. The final

cheese straw was

that non-disclosure

agreement asking

Ms Monteys-Fullam

to never talk about

their relationship

or sex life.
