Yikes her Wiki is not flattering!!! So she went after married men. I remember after husband died, various people who knew him saying he was an absolute hole. Seems like they were a perfect match.
She had been good friends with her husbands wife. She told her “watch out someone will try to steal him” Then proceeded to have an affair with him. Her son in law says he saw him later go into his former wife’s bedroom at night, thinking nobody saw him.
One of his kids from his first marriage said in all the years she had visited Esther she’d never been offered a cup of tea.
Des made a documentary in which he seemed overly interested in a young girls sex life. He appeared sleazy.
When first wife died, later in the year Esther held a party for her birthday, and was asked in a series of quiz questions so everybody’s attention would be on her “what went up this year?” It was a shed that caught alight. Referring to the first wife’s cremation she said “Des ‘s first wife!” She related this story herself in an interview, so must have been quite pleased with her quip.
But then she did say herself in IACGMOOH, she’s never been able to feel any guilt.

I know it’s a very unpopular thing to say but I actually don’t mind Coleen Nolan.
went off her when she used to talk about her dad like he was a lovely bloke, when he abused her sister, a sister the others later excluded from a come-back!
