When a marriage breaks down because of another woman, the spurned partner is always going be bitter.
And rightfully so.
The ex-wife of talk show host Jeremy Kyle has apparently said she is convinced their conniving nanny stole her look and style – before going on to nab the TV host to herself.
Carla Germaine has told mates that Jezza’s new lass Vicky Burton “morphed” into her doppelganger during her nine years of service for the family.
Carla, who has three children with Jeremy, says her love rival started to dress like her, had her hair styled like her, and even posed similarly in pictures.
She even said that people used to think Vicky was “like a sister” as they were so close and shared such a similar look.

A close friend told The Sun on Sunday: “Carla realises now how during their friendship Vicky gradually morphed into looking like her, copying her clothes and style.
“Carla liked to wear skinny jeans with turn-ups and halter-neck tops, and Vicky would always pick out similar things.
“In pictures, if Carla’s hair was up, so was Vicky’s. If it was down, so was Vicky’s.
“Carla was completely oblivious at the time, but looking back now she can see that there was a definite transformation going on.
“Carla can’t bear to look at Vicky now,” the snitch said.
“She has gone through the house taking down all the pictures of Vicky with her children because she finds them so upsetting.
“It is all too raw for her and the children. There were lots in every room, including pictures taken in Barbados, where Jeremy was pictured on holiday with Vicky recently.
“Carla’s also going through her Facebook and social media to delete the images.
“She still feels so angry about what has happened.
“She and Vicky were best mates for ten years.”
Jeremy and Carla, who married in 2002, announced their split in September 2015.
“After 13 years of a generally happy marriage, my wife Carla and I have separated amicably,” the presenter said in a statement at the time.

“We have sadly grown apart over recent years and have been living apart since earlier this summer.”
But Jeremy maintained that the couple planned to give their three children a stable upbringing in “inevitably upsetting circumstances”.
