BBC Veteran David Hamilton Reveals Past Romance with Sex Worker
Reported by David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

Veteran British broadcaster David Hamilton, affectionately known as “Diddy,” has made headlines with a candid revelation about his past romance with a sex worker — a relationship he described as deeply emotional during a difficult period in his life.

In an interview promoting his latest memoir, Hamilton, 86, opened up about the unexpected relationship, saying it occurred years ago when he was going through “a very lonely and painful time.” The former BBC Radio 1 and ITV presenter explained that what began as a paid encounter evolved into something far more meaningful.

⁠“I know people will raise eyebrows, but she was warm, kind, and genuinely cared about me,” he said. “It wasn’t about money after a point. We connected.”

Hamilton, whose broadcasting career spans over six decades, said he chose to share the story to challenge societal judgments and to highlight that “love can come from the most unlikely places.”

The revelation is part of his memoir where he reflects on both his career highs and personal lows, including battles with loneliness after a divorce and struggles with public scrutiny.
While the story has sparked mixed reactions on social media, many have praised Hamilton’s honesty and vulnerability, calling it “refreshingly human.”

Hamilton’s memoir is now available for purchase in the UK.
