BBC Legend Admits to Affair with Sex Worker While Married with Kids

David Hamilton admitted his four-year affair with a sex worker followed marital strain after having children, which he said can disrupt a marriage.

  • Recently, David 'Diddy' Hamilton told Best magazine he had an affair with Roz, a woman he later learned was a sex worker, and left Sheila Moore and his children to live with her for four years.
  • After children arrived, the relationship changed; Hamilton married Sheila Moore at 24 and they had two children, Jane and David Jr., before their marriage ended in 1970.
  • He recalled meeting her at Liverpool Street station and said, `She asked if I would open her new shop, and how much I’d charge.'
  • Hamilton's later marriage to Dreena, second wife and aerobics instructor, followed the earlier split, and he credits her with support despite friends of Dreena warning about his womanising reputation.
  • Given his long broadcasting profile, the disclosures attracted attention as he rose to prominence on Radio 1 and Top of the Pops and remains a public figure at age 87.
