Wife Sarah tells truth of Dougray's 'affair' with Kate

THE wife of actor Dougray Scott has revealed how she coped with vicious rumours her hubby was having an affair with Kate Winslet.

But the casting director admitted she had been wrong to miss the premiere of Enigma, in Edinburgh, which starred Dougray and Kate.

Sarah, 38, who could not go because of work, said: "We should have been wiser.

"I'm very fond of Kate. I didn't think people would put two and two together and make five.

"The trouble was, nobody reported that Dougray's mum was there - they said he was on his own. It was so silly."

Reporters besieged Sarah at the home in West London she shares with Dougray and their twins Eden and Gabriel, three.

She said: "I found it hard when people tried to take pictures of me across the park with my children. Everything that was said was made up. It was reported Dougray had arrived back at the house in the morning but he was upstairs in bed.

"They said he sent me flowers - I'd bought them myself."

Then, 10 days later, Sarah pulled away from Dougray, 38, when he tried to kiss her at the London premiere of Enigma.

She insisted: "I'm just not used to kissing my husband in front of 76 photographers.

"I don't do a Liz Hurley because I'd rather the limelight fell on him."
