Trisha Goddard: I thought I had AIDS

Chat show host reveals all in her autobiography

trisha goddard

Trisha Goddard has spoken out about her fears that she may have contracted AIDS.

The chat show host's first husband, Robert Nestdale, died from the disease 3 years after the couple split up.

But she knew nothing about his illness until she was told the devastating news by a family friend.

'All I could think of was the disease that could be coursing through my veins, and through my baby's too,' she says. 'I felt sick to my heart.'

Trisha, 50, had to wait 3 weeks for blood test results, which fortunately came back negative.

'I thought I would go mad in that time. I could barely function,' she says.

Trisha says Robert tried to control her throughout their marriage, pushing her 'to the point of madness'. But she says she has forgiven her late husband.

'Despite all he put me through, I don't hate Robert,' she writes in her new autobiography. 'I have only pity for him.'

Trisha: As I Am is published on 14 April, priced £17.99.
