Richard Keys says ‘love-rat’ reputation is ‘nonsense’ after leaving wife for daughter’s friend

• Broadcaster Richard Keys, 68, has addressed his marriage to Lucie Rose, 37, dismissing his "love rat" reputation as "nonsense".

• He refuted claims that Lucie was his daughter Jemma's best friend, stating they had previously socialised in Doha.
• The former Sky Sports host discussed their 31-year age gap, admitting it "baffles people" but doesn't affect him.
• Keys also expressed a desire to have more children, believing he would be a "very, very happy man" and a more relaxed father at his current age.
