Who is Graham Thorpe’s wife Amanda?
Thorpe is married to a woman named Amanda, who he met after his divorce to ex-wife Nicky.
Thorpe has two children with ex-wife Nicky, but he doesn’t have any with Amanda.
The 52-year-old’s life with Amanda has been kept extremely private, and it’s not known how the pair met or what she does for a living.
A statement was released by the PCA on behalf of Thorpe’s family on Tuesday afternoon.
“Graham Thorpe has recently fallen seriously ill and is currently in hospital receiving treatment,” it read.
“His prognosis is unclear at this stage and we ask for privacy for him and his family at this time. Our thoughts are with Graham and his family.”
