Tarrant used Viagra, claims ex-wife

Chris Tarrant had to use Viagra to deal with erectile dysfunction, claims his estranged wife Ingrid.

Ingrid was responding to claims in the weekend's press that she imposed a seven-year sex ban on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire presenter.

She told The Sun: "I never imposed a one-second sex band, let alone anything more."

"The biggest reason our sex life slowed down in our last few years was because of Chris's erectile dysfunction."

She added: "It sounds vulgar but he had problems getting it up. He has been taking Viagra for around four years to deal with it."

Talking about the TV star's problems in the bedroom, she commented: "Chris thinks of himself as an incredible lover and once boasted he had the libido of a lion.

"But the truth is I didn't go off sex. He did."
