Bryony Gordon's Mad World

Rebecca Humphries

In 2018, Rebecca Humphries was thrust into the spotlight when her boyfriend cheated on her very publicly with his Strictly dance partner. Seeing your partner snogging someone else on the front page of a tabloid might not be the ideal way to discover you've been cheated on, but Humphries has come to realise it was the best thing that could ever have happened to her. Set free from an emotionally abusive relationship, she was able to finally live the life she wanted to... with amazing results. Rebecca joins Bryony to discuss her book about the painful but valuable lessons she learnt through the very public disintegration of her long term relationship, from the impact of Little Mo in Eastenders and Disney, to learning your own worth. <a href="https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/rebecca-humphries/why-did-you-stay/9781405552004/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why Did You Stay? by Rebecca Humphries</a> |Read more from Bryony: <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/bryony-gordon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/bryony-gordon/</a> |For 30 days' free access to The Telegraph: <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/madworld" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.telegraph.co.uk/madworld</a> |Follow Bryony on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bryonygordon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/bryonygordon/</a> |See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
