The Beatles George Harrison: Ex-wife Pattie Boyd's 'revenge' on star after affair

In 1970 the members of The Beatles fighting with one another. The band had split up and their relationships were growing increasingly fraught. While Paul McCartney and John Lennon were embarking on perilous legal battles against each other, Ringo Starr and George Harrison were attending parties. During one of these events, George confessed that he was "in love" with his Ringo's wife, Maureen Starkey Tigrett.

Chris O'Dell, a former Apple Corps employee, assistant and tour manager for bands including The Beatles recalled what happened in her book, Miss O’Dell: Hard Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton.

She wrote: "We sat at the long wooden table in the kitchen, Ringo and George on one bench, Pattie and I facing them on the opposite bench.

"Maureen spent the entire evening flitting around like a little bird, landing here, then there, jumping up to cook an omelette for Ringo, refilling our drinks, bringing plates of food to the table.

"[George] turned to Ringo and said: ‘You know, Ringo, I’m in love with your wife.'"
