    I've met Rio. Thought he was a good guy. He's also a very astute businessman.

    Desperately sad when young kids lose their mum. I wouldn't be able to cope without Mrs Stan.

    It's explaining it all to the kids I would dread, I'm capable of sorting myself out but how the hell do you tell kids of that age their Mum wont be coming home? He has my respect for getting through that.

    It's not something I could even think of doing.

    Watched the first few minutes, having to record the rest of it. Poor Rio. Obviously he has the cash to indulge his children, pay for help etc but the fact is losing your wife/mum at that stage of family life is horrendous.

    I've not watched it yet, I recorded it last night, he has my respect, most people in his situation would struggle to raise 3 children but he's got on with it.

    I'm glad you didn't lose respect for him.

    Didn't watch it, as despite the fact I feel sorry for his poor wife and his kids, and it must have been hard for him since she passed, but he was boning all kinds while he was with her, the names of 10 birds were released during his failed libel case against the Mirror. God knows how many more he ploughed through.

    He's back on the bike again now, literally.

    Saw it last night.

    The bits that get me are when his daughter asked him "when will Mummy be fixed".

    How do you answer that? It's got to be the worst thing that can happen to kids that age. They have no idea.

    Can't watch programmes like that, but I wish him and his family all the best.
