But the year-old has admitted if it had happened today, he would have taken out a super injunction to hide his infidelity from the public. Lynam said his conscience still suffers 'terribly' from his two-year affair with beauty consultant Laura Ewing, who was a neighbour. The former Grandstand presenter said the affair had been 'mistake' which he'd 'paid for wholeheartedly', because she sold her story to the press.

Regrets: Des Lynam still feels guilty about a two-year affair he had with Laura Ewing, right, in the late nineties. Asked by presenter Bryan Cooney whether his conscience still troubles him, regarding the affair, he said: 'Terribly. It was an awful mistake, a dreadful mistake. We do stupid things from time to time, and it was a stupid thing and I regretted it.

Lynam's long-term relationship with partner Rose Diamond survived the revelations and they are still together today. They met after Lynam divorced his first wife, Susan Skinner, with whom he had a son, but they never married. His affair came to light in after Ewing revealed all to the press after Lynam ended their relationship.
