Nicola Sturgeon praised her husband's ability to 'de-stress' her as she made a risqué sex joke. The Scottish First Minister raised eyebrows as she engaged in some saucy innuendo about partner Peter Murrell on Loose Women.
Nicola Sturgeon today announced she is ending her marriage to former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell.
Among the dramatic developments in the police investigation was a two-day search of the couple's Glasgow home in April 2023. Ms Sturgeon and former SNP treasurer Colin Beattie were previously released without charge after being interviewed by police. August 2021 – As the party's annual accounts are published, new SNP treasurer Colin Beattie acknowledges 'concern' about transparency over independence-related appeals that had raised more than £600,000.
5 April 2023 – Mr Murrell is arrested and is released without charge, pending further investigation, the same day. 11 June 2023 – Ms Sturgeon is arrested. She 'voluntarily' arranges with Police Scotland to be questioned. 'To all intents and purposes we have been separated for some time now and feel it is time to bring others up to speed with where we are.
Prior to becoming the SNP's chief executive in 1999 – the year of the first ever Holyrood elections – Mr Murrell had worked in the constituency office of Alex Salmond, the then-leader of the SNP. She told the BBC: 'I read accounts of my private life on social media and I think, you know it is so much more glamourous sounding and so much more exciting.She added: 'The fact that people still don't think they know everything about me, well to some extent, I take that as a bit of an achievement, because I have obviously managed to protect a little bit of a private persona and that is a good thing.
'I had a miscarriage in 2010,' she said. 'I didn't speak about it at the time but a few years later I spoke about the miscarriage.She added: 'There have been times where I've not wanted kids and other times I thought, yeah, it might be nice. Speaking to media outside the couple's home in Glasgow, she said: 'It's incredibly difficult, but that's not the main issue. I can't say anymore, I'm not going to say any more.'
