Turner is keen to start her own family with Bovey, but for various reasons, this has not yet been achieved.[1] She is stepmother to Bovey's three daughters Lily, Amelia and Claudia, from his previous marriage.
Flakegate In 2000, Turner received more bad publicity from the British tabloids after photographs of her wedding reception, published in the magazine OK! in an exclusive deal worth £450,000, showed the couple (apparently) using their wedding to publicise a new Cadbury chocolate bar, Snowflake. OK! issued the photo to the media with the caption "Anthea Turner and Grant Bovey: exclusive OK! wedding photograph, enjoying Cadbury's new Snowflake. For the complete wedding coverage and a free Cadburys Snowflake, buy OK! magazine this weekend. OK! First for celebrity news." The Sun described it as "the most sickening wedding photo ever", and the event is now referred to as "Flakegate".[2] However, Turner, Bovey, Cadbury's and OK! all denied the wedding was part of any sponsorship deal,[3] with Turner insisting that someone had stuck the chocolate bar in her hand and snapped a picture before she knew what was happening.
