Yesterday an insider told MailOnline the “marriage never really totally got over Alice’s fling”, which they “could not completely forget”, and “Lawrence’s own behaviour and shortcomings” also contributed to the split.
He later told the Rugby Journal: “We were very close and obviously that incident and that tragedy, was horrific, and, you know, it blew us apart really in many ways, as it would do to anyone when you lose someone so close to you.
Lawrence, who was just 17 when talented ballerina Francesca died, believed it contributed to a reckless streak, explaining: “From that day on, life was never the same and still never has been the same.”.
Mum Eileen spent years campaigning for justice, even buying one share in the Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Group, which owned the Bowbelle, so she could attend the AGM and lobby for an enquiry.
HAVING weathered cheating scandals, brothel parties and financial ruin, it seemed Lawrence Dallaglio’s marriage could have survived anything.
