Inspector

The Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi was married to her husband several years before their divorce, with Alex admitting she felt “bereft” following their split

The Hotel Inspector host Alex Polizzi has candidly opened up about the end of her marriage to her long-term partner.

The Channel 5 show returned to screens on Thursday evening (March 5) for another instalment and Alex was back at the helm to visit a struggling hotel to try and turn things around for the business.

In the latest instalment, she headed to The Navigator in Sussex, a seafront hotel now fighting for survival and with the owner Kathleen drowning in debt, battling constant leaks and crumbling rooms, things were not looking good.

During the episode though, Alex confided in Kathleen about the struggles of running a hotel, revealing the impact it even had on her marriage to ex-husband Marcus Miller.

“I opened a hotel four years ago. It signalled the end of my marriage, I almost lost my mind and it’s quite hard work” she candidly admitted. Alex went on: “And I’m a professional.”

Alex was previously married to Marcus Miller, a professional baker. The former couple got married in 2007 after a 12-year engagement. She and Marcus are parents to two children, teenagers Olga and Rocco.

In 2025 though Alex revealed she had gotten divorced a year prior, revealing she felt “bereft”.

Talking to Great British Life Alex said:”“I have a 16-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son and I got divorced last year and I felt so bereft, and that everything was on my shoulders, and yet their father is still alive.”

Meanwhile speaking to The Sun about why she decided to wait to marry Marcus, she confessed in 2017: “I still wanted to f*** around, if I’m honest! Who wants to get married at 22? I’m a much better wife than I was 10 years ago.

“Partly, you really realise that this is the person you’re with for the rest of your life, so there’s no point p****** them off.”

Alex has also spoke candidly over the years about her heartache after suffering several miscarriages. The TV star revealed that after welcoming her first child, Olga, she had three miscarriages, including one that came just over five months into her pregnancy.

“It is just so shocking to find out that one’s body lets them down in this way,” she told MailOnline in 2013. Alex went on: “Once you’ve had a child, it seems unusual that one couldn’t have another one. You’re not expecting it, and it comes as such a wallop.”
