Last year, Todd McKenney revealed he was in a long-term relationship with performer and producer Simon Gallaher, but didn’t inform his former partner in advance; Peter Ford tells us how Gallaher reacted to being publicly outed.

The news ripped through the Gallaher family and it seems the Simon Gallaher and his wife, Lisa, have called it quits.

“It took a very big toll on Simon and on Lisa, and I’ve confirmed this Simon himself; Simon went into a very dark place, even contemplated suicide as a result of this story being exposed. It has also destroyed his marriage to Lisa after 32 years,” Peter Ford told 6PR Breakfast.
