David Soul captivated women with his blond, Nordic looks... but now his third wife who he attacked while she was heavily pregnant finally speaks out after the star's death


David Soul's death, aged 80, ten days ago brought back nostalgic memories for millions, but to those closest to him it re-opened painful wounds.

As one half of the Seventies' TV cop duo Starsky & Hutch, David Soul captivated women with his blond, Nordic looks, and appealed equally to men by racing around the streets of fictional Bay City, California, in a red Ford Gran Torino. His son Andrew followed his father down the path into drug addiction and alcoholism, and was in and out of jail and treatment programmes until he met his wife, Erika, six years ago. His greatest heartache is that he was unable to fly to the UK to sit by his dying father – Soul had battled lung cancer and pulmonary disease – alongside his siblings.
