TALK OF THE TOWN: City’s £million couple Crispin Odey and Nichola Pease split after 'public humiliation' over assault case
Only weeks after he was cleared of groping a junior banker following a lurid court hearing, I can reveal that hedge fund tycoon Crispin Odey is to split from his wife of 30 years, Nichola Pease, citing ‘public humiliation’ over the case.
The surprise separation – after the couple staged a show of unity outside court during the stressful case – sets the stage for what could be one of the costliest divorces in recent British legal history.
Explaining the split, the year-old Harrow and Oxford-educated banker, referring to Nichola, told me: ‘Public humiliation is not something any girl should take.’

It is a mournful end to what might have been a new chapter for the couple, whose combined worth has been estimated at £ million by The Sunday Times Rich List.
The pair were pictured arm in arm outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court in March after Mr Odey was found not guilty of indecent assault.

In a recent Reddit thread posted on r/AskMenAdvice, one guy worries that opening up to his girlfriend may have "destroyed" their relationship. The OP admits that he used to be have "the emotional capacity of a rock"—being "the type of guy who could sleep with multiple different women in a week and not feel a thing." But his perspective shifted after meeting his girlfriend, "the very first person" he cares more about than himself—and the first he felt comfortable showing "true emotions."
He says their relationship used to be very warm and open—she would vent about work, ask for advice, share stories from her past, and "do cute little things" for him. But the vibe shifted, he argues, after he opened up emotionally following the death of a dog he grew up with.
"I just broke," he writes. "It was the first time in years or even a decade that I cried. I just couldn’t hold it anymore somehow this also opened up other things inside of me that I didn't deal with emotionally ever. Like for example that [I] basically grew up
The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge
Stars Hollow sweetheart Rory Gilmore is the epitome of book worm. Never seen without a paperback in hand, her quiet intelligence won the hearts of many when Gilmore Girls first aired 20 (!!) years ago. She left teenagers across the country idolising her quirky sense of humour and lusting after her never-ending rotation of classic novels.
A few years ago, Australian writer Patrick Lenton compiled the ultimate reading list, including every book that was referenced in the Gilmore Girls series. He hoped to read each one himself, as his goal has inspired many to do the same!
Here is the full list of books:
- by George Orwell
- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
- An American Tragedyby Theodore Dreiser
- Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
- The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
- The Archidamian War by Donald Kagan
- The Art of Fictionby Henry James
- The Art of War by Sun Tzu
- As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
- Atonementby Ian McEwan
- Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy
- The Aw
When fans heard that Netflix was bringing us (and, more importantly, the original cast of Gilmore Girls) back to Stars Hollow, one of the first and most persistent questions was about Rory Gilmore's love life. Now, we have our answers (and we're going to talk about them here, so, you know, spoiler alert for those who haven't binged every episode of Gilmore Girls and A Year in the Life yet).
At the end of the original series, Rory is single. She's just graduated from Yale, rejected Logan Huntzberger's marriage proposal, and is getting set to hit the road covering the Obama campaign. This was in
When we meet Rory again in , she's seeing someonekind of. I say "kind of," not because it's not a real relationship (it is—they've been together for two years in the first A Year in the Life episode, "Winter"), but because Rory never treats it like one. Her boyfriend, Paul, is doting but apparently forgettable. Lorelai and Luke forget that they've met him, Rory forgets that she's invited him to stay with her family, and is only still dating him because she keeps forgetting to break up with him.
