Annabel Giles, the famous TV and radio presenter, died at the age of 64 after being diagnosed with a brain tumor in July 2023. She was a phenomenal TV presenter and "one of a kind mother," as stated by her children.
The tragic news of the star's death was shared by her family earlier on November 20, 2023. Also, the same day, her children stated on social media,
"It is with heavy heart that we inform you of the death of our incredible mother, Annable Giles."
She was diagnosed with stage 4 Glioblastoma, which is a highly aggressive and fastest-growing brain tumor. Following her diagnosis, Annabel went through brain surgery and radiotherapy.
The TV presenter married Midge Ure in 1985 and got officially separated in 1989. Their separation was the most talked about topic of its time, and the couple remained friends even after.
Annabel Giles married a famous musician, Midge Ure
The star couple got married on the Caribbean island of Montserrat in 1985, and right after two years, they had a daughter named Molly.
The family lived together for six years in a Georgian mansion on the River Thames in West London, UK. However, after their separation, Annabel said that they remained friends and shared the financial responsibilities of their daughter.
However, at the age of 38, she gave birth to a son who was born with XYY syndrome and Asperger syndrome. His father is unknown, but Annabel Giles stated, "his father left when my son was only two weeks old."
She also said,
"I struggled on as much as I could. I spent every penny I had. I then went on to credit cards. I did all that just to keep us alive whilst I was waiting to see if I was going to get anything back from this man."
Later in 2014, Giles' former boyfriend, Paul Duddridge, revealed himself as Ted's father, and he said,
"Annabel Giles has spent years dragging my name through the mud. She presents me as the devil incarnate, a deadbeat dad who walked out when our son was two weeks old. Nothing could be further from the truth."
He continued,
"I gave her tens of thousands of pounds in child support and spent thousands more on legal fees fighting for the right to be part of Ted's life. The real tragedy is that he has lost out on the chance to have a relationship with me, his dad, because of the spiteful actions of his mother."
Further adding,
"She wants to be seen as a victim and a martyr, so she sacrificed my relationship with my son."
