LEE Anderson has secretly split from his wife of nearly 14 years – and put their house up for sale.
The Reform MP has been single for nearly a year following the breakdown of his marriage to Conservative councillor Sinead.

Lee, 58, remains close friends with his 47-year-old ex.
He told The Sun: “It’s been a very difficult period working away for long periods of time which has impacted our relationship, so we made the mutual decision to separate early last year. We are trying to sell our house as we have both moved on. We remain very good friends, and we will always support each other in the future”
Lee previously described Sinead, who lives with cystic fibrosis, as “a fighter with a brilliant spirit” – having been told she wouldn’t live to see her 30th birthday.

Sinead was said to be Lee’s inspiration behind joining the Tories in 2018 after she was given a double lung transplant.
He said in 2023 before his Reform defection: “When people are banging on about the NHS and nasty Tories and all this, I say, well, that’s my wife. She had a double lung transplant under a Tory government, and thanks to the NHS she’s doing all right.”
Lee and Sinead’s detached property went up for sale last year and is described as having a chef’s dream for a kitchen and four modern bathrooms.
