At the time of their break-up one of their friends said: ‘They are no longer a couple. It’s sad, but Hugh is still young and it was too soon for him to settle down.’
Harriet, who grew up in her family’s semi-detached Victorian house in Chester, declined to comment on the relationship.
The daughter of a curtain factory boss, she studied teaching at the University of Wales, Cardiff before taking a job in recruitment.
