Darts commentator Wayne Mardle has entered a new relationship, 15 months after the death of his wife Donna. The 52-year-old Sky Sports pundit lost his wife of 22 years in December 2024 after a short illness.
Mardle is now seeing Deborah, a 52-year-old single mother who posts on TikTok as 'changingmylifedeb'. Deborah has shared videos of the couple, including one captioned: 'If you're lucky enough to get a second chance at happiness, it's really important you take it.'
Another post showed her dog watching Mardle on television, with the caption: 'When your boyfriend left a few hours ago and now you're watching him on TV, but the dog's only wondering when dad's coming back to walk him.'
Mardle has previously spoken openly about his grief, describing it as 'absolutely brutal'. In a February video, he urged others to 'just get on with it how you think is right', adding that those who question your grief 'are not your friends'.
Deborah wrote: 'The best feeling in the world is meeting someone after heartache unexpectedly. Falling in love with them effortlessly. And finding out that you can feel more loved by them in weeks than you ever did over years with someone else.'
