Lynsey De Paul admits she regrets affair with Sir Sean Connery

Pop star Lynsey De Paul bitterly regrets her adulterous affair with actor Sir Sean Connery, and would never have romanced him if she knew he thought it was acceptable to hit women - reports Female First.

The singer, who is at the forefront of an anti-domestic violence campaign, fell for the former James Bond actor in 1989 while he was married to French artist Micheline Roquebrune.

But Connery had sparked controversy in 1987 when he claimed it was fine to hit a woman to "keep her in line".

She says, "I wasn't aware of Sean's violent side when I was with him, but I was quite horrified to read that he said it was OK to hit a woman.

"At the time, 49 MPs (Members of Parliament) condemned him in the House of Commons and I couldn't believe that a man I once had feelings for could behave in such an irresponsible manner."
