Cook married his secretary Gaynor in 1998 shortly after their affair came to light three months after Blair had appointed him foreign secretary in his first cabinet.
He heeded the advice of Alastair Campbell, Blair’s communications chief, to be decisive. When Campbell telephoned him at Heathrow airport to tell him to choose between his wife and mistress, Cook famously informed his wife that the marriage was over in the VIP departure lounge.

His ex-wife famously ridiculed him as a drunken philanderer with at least six affairs under his belt after he told her at Heathrow airport in 1997 that he was leaving her for Gaynor Regan, his secretary, whom he married the following year. Alastair Campbell, then Blair’s chief press adviser, had rung him on his mobile in the VIP departure lounge to tell him he had to choose between his wife or his mistress.
