Vinnie Jones makes first public appearance with new girlfriend Emma Ford - five years after the tragic death of his wife Tanya
Vinnie Jones has made his first public appearance with new girlfriend Emma Ford at his West End debut of Only Fools and Horses at the Eventim Apollo on Wednesday.
But for Tanya, it was his unexpected quiet kindness that cemented their love, such as the endless visits when she was admitted to hospital for gynaecological issues and the fact that he didn't blanch when she told him her health problems meant they'd never be able to have children together. For years, Vinnie struggled with alcoholism, in 1995, bit the nose of a journalist in a Dublin bar before taking himself off with a shotgun into the woods behind his and Tanya's Hertfordshire pile, intending to end his own life in shame. Emma, loved by viewers of Vinnie Jones in the Country as his patient and charming PA with a neat blonde pixie hair cut, has also quit drinking.
