Tarrant's wife collapses after bust-up

Chris Tarrant’s wife broke down and collapsed after her daughter’s boyfriend caused a scene outside her home and was arrested.

Ingrid, who announced she was separating from the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? host earlier this week, started hyperventilating and became hysterical after the 20-year-old turned up in the early hours of the morning and woke her.

Paramedics gave the woman oxygen to help her breathe following the incident in which the boyfriend of 18-year-old Samantha repeatedly beeped his car horn and banged on doors.

Brian MacLauren, Ingrid's spokesman, confirmed the incident. “It was the final straw for her after the last few days," he explained to The Sun. “Paramedics treated her at home but she is fine now.”

The boyfriend, named only as Jack, left the scene before police arrived but was later arrested for criminal damage having allegedly damaged his home with a baseball bat.

Chris and Ingrid confirmed they would divorce earlier this week after he admitted having an affair.
