BBC news anchor Simon McCoy dating Dynasty star Emma Samms and looks set to marry her


BBC NEWS anchor Simon McCoy has found love again with Dynasty star Emma Samms – and it looks like they could be set to marry.

The TV star, 58, who presents the afternoon BBC news slot, started dating the 80s icon after he split from his wife Victoria Graham.

Speaking to the Daily Mail he said: “We are very happy together.”

The new couple are already living together at the actress’s home in the Cotswolds and an engagement is on the cards, with one of Simon’s colleague’s telling the publication: ‘They will get married as soon as his divorce is through.”

Emma, who has been married three times before, was known for playing fiery heiress Fallon Carrington Colby in Dynasty.

She was quite the sex siren in the 80s and even turned down Playboy twice.

Meanwhile, Simon is a regular presenter of the BBC News at One and a relief host of BBC Weekend News.

He married BBC South West presenter Victoria in 2007.

However, the former couple split in 2019 after 12 years of marriage.

Speaking to Daily Mail at the time he said: “It is very sad. All I would like to say is that I give Victoria my very best wishes for her future.”

He reportedly met his second wife at a polo match in Windsor.

The couple do not have any children together but Simon has a son called Max from his previous marriage.

Simon is often know for hitting the headlines due his dry wit whilst presenting the news.

In October 2017, he couldn’t hide his disdain as he revealed the due date of the Duchess of Cambridge in the most sarcastic way possible.

Reading the announcement on air, he pointed out: “Now, bearing in mind that they announced that she was pregnant back in September and it was thought that she was around two or three months pregnant, I’m not sure how much news this really is.”

He added: “But anyway, it’s April so clear your diaries, get the time booked off ’cause that’s what I’m doing.”

When Kate gave birth to her third child in April 2018, royal baby watchers familiar with Simon’s sceptical tones called out for his “injection of energy” to be presenting live from outside the Lindo Wing.

It’s not the first time that Simon McCoy has made headlines for his dry wit when reading the news, with the presenter unimpressed with a recent story on the World Dog Surfing Championships.

The hard-hitting anchor, who spent much of the 2003 Iraq invasion reporting from the front lines, presented the pictures of the Californian event, saying: “Now, you’re watching BBC News, just bear in mind it is August.”
