«Breaking News» BBC newsman Frank Gardner, 57, and mystery woman seen 'snogging' in London pub

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner has reportedly been seen with a mystery woman 'snogging like teenagers' in a London pub.

The 57-year-old journalist and author was reportedly spotted with the woman in Putney, south west London. 

Mr Gardner was gunned down by a group of Al Qaeda sympathisers as he finished a television report in Saudi Arabia in 2004, leaving him with a severed spine and partly paralysed in the legs.

The father-of-two last year separated from his wife Amanda, after 21 years of marriage.

Mr Gardner met his wife Amanda Jane Pearson when she gatecrashed a party he was throwing in Bahrain and the couple went on to have two daughters, Sasha, now 20, and Melissa, 19. 

The pair got married in 1997 and Mr Gardner praised his wife in previous interviews for supporting him when he was receiving treatment in hospital and later, confined to a wheelchair.  

While his website states he is still married, his agent told MailOnline the couple split last year. 

One onlooker at the pub told The Sun Mr Gardner and his companion were 'literally all over each other.'

The witness added: 'They were like two teens snogging away. They couldn't keep their hands off each other.'  

Mr Gardner worked in the oil business and as a banker specialising in Saudi Arabia before he joined the BBC in the Nineties. 

He became security correspondent in 2002 and went on to become a bestselling author with four books to his name.  

In 2004, Gardner and his cameraman Simon Cumbers were working in Saudi Arabia. They were gunned down by a group of Al Qaeda sympathisers

In 2004, Gardner and his cameraman Simon Cumbers were working in Saudi Arabia, finishing a piece for television. 

They were shot six times at close range by a group of Al Qaeda sympathisers and Cumbers was killed while Gardner was left for dead. 

His legs have minimal sensation from the knees down, while above the knee he can feel them but can 'barely move them'. 

Despite his injuries, Mr Gardner returned to work and was awarded an OBE for services to journalism in 2005. 

He continued to cover stories in danger zones around the world, including Afghanistan and Colombia.

Adel Al-Dhubaiti, the man who murdered his colleague, was later caught and sentenced to death, and executed in Saudi Arabia in January 2016. 

The BBC declined to comment. Mr Gardner's agent declined to comment but confirmed he and his wife separated in 2018.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
