Tom Jones lived the “sex bomb” lifestyle and slept with hundreds of women during the height of his career. The Welshman’s career began in the mid-1960s with a string of top ten hits. Although he remained devoted to his wife Linda of almost 60 years until her death in 2016, the veteran singer was also known for his numerous affairs with other women.
The Welsh singer described his wife as an “unbelievable woman”, adding she was the “love of his life.”
But despite claiming Lady Linda was the only woman for him, Sir Tom still slept with up to 250 women a year at the height of his fame.
In an interview with The Big Issue in 2015, Sir Tom said: “That’s all been talked about so much.
“But that’s not the essence of me, that’s not what makes me tick.

“It’s Not Unusual was a hit before anyone saw me. It was the power of the voice.
“The media always pick on the women, and how did that affect your wife.

“I don’t regret anything. All in all, no matter what happened, my marriage is still solid and my son still loves me. I haven’t done anything bad in my life.”
His affairs included some notable names such as former Miss World Marjorie Wallace, Mary Wilson from The Supremes and model Katherine Berkery, with whom he has a son called Jonathan.
In a Sunday Times interview in 2015 he revealed the moment Linda hit him after discovering his affair with Miss World Majorie Wallace.
He said: “I stood there and took it. She chinned me. She punched and shouted.”
“She’s the most important thing in my life. An unbelievable woman.
“Linda is the love of my life and she still is, even though she doesn’t look like she did.
“I don’t look like I did, either, but I try my best.”
