Tom Jones wife: How did Linda react to Sir Tom’s affairs? ‘ Beat me BLACK AND BLUE’

Sir Tom spoke about the incident himself on American TV, saying: “She beat me up physically one night.

“I said, ‘Look, I’m sorry,’ and she’d got the newspaper there.

“She said, ‘You…’ I said, ‘There it is [pointing at chin],’ and she went ‘Bang!’ And then started kicking me.”

He said something very similar about when his wife saw reports of his affair with Miss World Marjorie Wallace, who was caught riding Sir Tom on the beach in Barbados in 1976.

He said: “I stood there and took it. She chinned me. She punched and shouted.”
