Pandora: Neil's bride that never was
By Oliver Duff
As a colourful exponent of the single life – just ask the rotating harem of dusky beauties hanging off his arm – Andrew Neil has kept schtum over deep affairs of his heart. This week, however, The Daily Politics presenter has given a revealing personal interview in which he speaks of a youthful romance and brief engagement.
"She was absolutely beautiful," recalls the misty-eyed Neil, on the new website AccessInterviews. "We were in love and in our early twenties. We met at a student conference. She was at Manchester and I was at Glasgow." After buying a ring, Neil got cold feet and abruptly called off plans for the betrothal, deciding it would "end in tears". He declines to reveal the woman's identity, insisting that she is a "private individual".
Pandora would, of course, be happy to hear from the would-be Mrs Neil, should she so wish.
