‘Take note!’ Karren Brady praises Laila Rouass' break-up from Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ronnie O’Sullivan, 46.The actress announced their split last week on social media, explaining they had “parted ways” after 10 years of “love and memories”.The Apprentice star Karren couldn’t help but compare Laila and Ronnie’s split to the far more tumultuous separation of film stars Alice Evans and Ioan Gruffudd.Alice announced Ioan had left her in January last year after 13 years of marriage.The couple, who share two daughters, Ella, 12, and Elsie, eight, have been embroiled in a very messy separation, which has most recently culminated in Ioan filing for a restraining order against his estranged wife.Discussing both break-ups, Karren wrote in her column for The Sun: “It’s always sad, often devastating, when relationships end.“But without wishing to sound too judgy, it’s hard not to compare how actresses Laila Rouass and Alice Evans are handling their break-ups.”Karren then quoted Laila’s recent Instagram post in which she said break-ups “don’t have to be sad”.The Holby City actress told her 32,000 followers: “The thing about break ups… It doesn’t have to be a sad time. It doesn’t have to be hard.“It can be the beginning of new adventures, new learnings.
