Speaking to The Sunday Times Magazine in 2012, Brydon spoke about his divorce, describing himself as “derailed” and “lost” by the experience.
He said: “I’d been married, with three children, then that goes. All the stage posts in your life, the boundaries that there are, they vanish.”
“It just came to an end. It was just two people who said, right, this isn’t working, so we ended it.
“We did it in as civilised a manner as we could. We both wanted it to happen.”
He added: “I’ve tried to make my children’s parents’ divorce not a huge influence on their lives.
“I don’t see how you can do it any other way.”
Brydon is now married to Clare Holland, a former producer on The South Bank Show.
They married in 2006 in Windsor and have two sons together, Tom and George.
