Pete Burn's ex Wife and ex Husband - Are Great Loves in his life!!!

Peter Burns had two great loves in his life his ex wife and ex husband

The Dead Or Alive singer and Lynne Corlett were married for 25 years before he had a fling with the man who he went on to also marry, Michael Simpson. Lynne started as the star's stylist and married Burns in Liverpool in 1978.

Speaking after their separation, during his Celebrity Big Brother appearance incredibly she insisted that she and Pete remained soul mates.

 

In 2006, Lynne said - We've been separated for a year. It was time to move on and we're still best friends. We hadn't drifted apart - we're still as close as we ever were. We just needed a change. It was a time when mutually we had to grow in different directions.

Despite Burns cheating on her, Lynne said - Michael is a lovely man and we get on well. I have no problems with that.

And she laughed "What a disappointment I am" Lynne said He was seeing Michael when we were still married but I knew about that.

Pete has always been very honest and Michael wasn't the reason our marriage ended. There really is no scandal behind the breakup, it was very amicable and I'm very proud of him.

Pete and Lynne married just a few years before You Spin Me Round became a massive hit.

Burns' ex-wife lifted the lid on their extraordinary life together and spoke about his surgeries in 2006.

She said - I can't be objective about Pete's surgery because I've spent every single waking hour of my life for 30 years with the guy and I don't see what other people see.

It's the person inside, it's Pete's soul that I was attracted to and that's never changed, as far I'm concerned.

It's just been such a gradual thing, it has evolved over the years and my role in his life has always been hair, makeup, wardrobe, so I guess I'm as guilty as charged. I've been supportive of everything that he does.

 

Pete announced his engagement to his partner, Michael Simpson, on 9 February 2006.

Appearing on Channel 4's Richard & Judy show, they revealed the news while showing off their matching engagement rings, designed by Vivienne Westwood.

Speaking of his relationship, Burns told The Guardian - We would be a lot better if we were blind because then we could fall in love with the spirit of the person as opposed to what they look like. But appearances do matter and because I had never formulated crushes on anyone I felt highly inadequate when I met Michael. His looks are the cover for the best book I've ever read.

Sometimes he criticises himself and I ask 'how can you? You're the most perfect thing I have ever seen.

The couple went no to have their civil partnership on 6 July 2006 but he split from Simpson just 10 months later.

Burns is quoted by The Mail as saying - Surely marriage is throwing anchor and saying, This is where I’m staying, I’ve made my choice and this is all I want because I’ve been on the up and down escalator through the revolving door and I want to stand still. That’s what I expected.

The star who tragically died from a "massive" heart attack on Sunday, aged 57 - was known for his distinctive look, appearing on CBB and his love life.

After his death was announced his management took to Twitter, saying - It is with the greatest sadness that we have to break the tragic news that our beloved Pete Burns of (Dead Or Alive) died suddenly yesterday of a massive cardiac arrest.
