Conti’s girl splits from husband

SOCIETY ventriloquist Nina Conti has discovered marriage is no laughing matter.

The daughter of Shirley Valentine star Tom Conti has split with her husband, the stand-up comedian Andrew ‘Stan’ Stanley.

‘We have been separated for a while now,’ confirms Nina, 47, who has two children with Stanley, 46. But she adds: ‘We have a good relationship. We meet up a lot. We are happy co-parents.’

Nina performed at Prince Harry’s 30th birthday party. When she gave a surprise after-dinner show at the Queen’s 90th at Windsor Castle, Harry acted as the dummy and was ‘genuinely brilliant’, a guest claimed.
