Tarrant's daughter: Dad is pathetic

Chris Tarrant's daughter has branded her father "pathetic" following his divorce from wife Ingrid.

18-year-old Samantha has also revealed that she will never be able to forgive the TV presenter for dividing their family, as she prepares to spend her first Christmas without her dad.

"I will never fully forgive him," she told First magazine. “I will miss my dad this Christmas, but he has caused a lot of hurt in our family. Yet he excused his actions as ‘what boys do’. How pathetic is that? What I really want to ask my dad is this: ‘Was it worth it?’.”

Tarrant's affair was exposed earlier this year, after Ingrid hired a private detective to follow him. He will spend the festive period with his personal friends.
