James Martin’s Saturday Morning star Alysia Vasey divorcing husband less than 12 months after getting married: ‘He took me for a ride’

'I've lost everything'

Alysia Vasey has announced that her marriage to her husband is over less than a year after she tied the knot.

The 54-year-old foraging expert, who is known as the Yorkshire Forager and appears on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, shared the news in an emotional Instagram video. She told followers that the relationship had ended before Christmas.

“So this is a hard one,” Alysia began. “So I feel like coming clean because there’s no point wearing a wedding ring when your marriage is over.

“And it has been since before Christmas. I know I haven’t been married long.”

Alysia has kept her husband’s identity private, revealing only that he is a farmer.

Speaking about her financial situation, Alysia alleged that she had been “taken for a ride” and had lost her money.

She continued: “Everything. Absolutely everything. It’s been a struggle. Absolute struggle these last eight, nine months. I didn’t expect it.”

The TV regular admitted that she felt embarrassed about the marriage ending and had not expected to find herself alone.

In the caption accompanying her video, Alysia said the past four years had been extremely difficult and claimed she had “lost just about everything”. She added that she was still trying to process what had happened.
