British TV star Robson Green has reportedly run off with the vicars wife
This is a very British story. This story would be like the Queen leaving Prince Philip to run off with her favorite horse. This story is like Lady Mary Crawley rolling around on a bed full of hats. Some of you are possibly familiar with the British TV star Robson Green. He’s been famous, for the most part, in Britain since the 1990s. You can see his IMDB here. I know him mostly from Wire in the Blood, a popular procedural series that ran 2002-2008. He’s currently starring in Grantchester, which is currently airing on PBS Masterpiece as we speak. He’s never really “crossed over” to America, but Americans who regularly watch BBC America and PBS Masterpiece are probably familiar with him. Robson, you see, ran off with the vicar’s wife. Seriously, that kind of thing still happens in 2016.
TV star Robson Green has reportedly run off with the wife of a vicar. Rev Geoffrey Short, 57, was stunned when his wife of 16 years, Zoila, 43, suddenly left him for actor Green, 51, after they allegedly struck up a relationship at a gym in the outskirts of Newcastle.
The devastated clergyman told the Daily Mirror: ‘When she told me I felt anger, amazement. There are questions I’ll probably never get answers to. It’s just total shock, disbelief and sorrow. Of course there is a lot of anger towards Green, but as a Christian I have to forgive. It’s made me question my faith, but I’ve got to stay strong.’
Explaining how he discovered his wife was leaving him, Rev Short said: ‘I got home from work one day and all of a sudden everything changed. She announced she was leaving to live with Robson Green. She said they got talking in the gym and she fell in love. She left immediately. This all came as a huge shock to me.’
In the weeks leading up to the revelation, the vicar said their relationship had been ‘strange’ but he assumed it was just part of ‘the ups and downs of life’.
‘I knew he was a member at the gym, but I had no idea there was a friendship,’ said Rev Short. ‘Months and months ago she asked me, “Do you know someone called Robson Green? He goes to the gym.” I just replied, “Yes, he’s an actor”, and she said, “Oh”.’
Rev Short and Zoila, who he claims left their marital home to be with Green six weeks ago, have two sons together aged 16 and 20. He described her as a ‘fantastic mother’ and the ‘ideal vicar’s wife’ but recent events have cast a shadow over their previously perfect relationship.
He added that he has only seen Zoila twice since she left to live with Green in a Northumberland apartment while the actor’s country pile is restored aster suffering substantial flood damage in December.
Robson Green, 51, is a vicarage-wrecker. He ran off with the vicar’s wife after presumably carrying on an affair with the woman for months. I wish we got scandals like this in America. I don’t even think an American actor has ever run off with the wife of a preacher or minister. And gossip is the poorer for it. While I feel sorry for the vicar – it seriously sounds like he is in shock – I also think it’s somewhat refreshing that an actor went for a vicar’s wife rather than, say, a 19 year old club girl.
PS… Yes, I find him attractive. So does my mother.
