Forget taxi drivers. Look how Mellor abused those closest to him! We reveal what happened AFTER his notorious affair.

• Mr Mellor hit the headlines in 1992 following revelations of affair
• The married Tory minister had been seeing a 31-year-old actress
• Their liaisons took place at a flat in Earl's Court where he stayed overnight
• Despite this, his sons grew up to become PR and investments gurus
• He later cuckolded Lord Cobham, who was left contemplating suicide
• This week it emerged he had launched foul-mouth tirade at taxi driver

After calling his taxi driver a ‘sweaty, stupid little s**t’, David Mellor rattled through the long list of things that make him a superior human being. ‘You’ve been driving a cab for ten years? I have been in the Cabinet!’ he declared. ‘I am an award-winning broadcaster, I’m a Queen’s Counsel. You think your experiences are anything compared to mine? Just shut up!’

Sadly, the former Tory minister neglected to mention, in the now notorious tape-recorded dispute over taxi navigation (which became public this week), his most famous achievement: becoming a national joke. The date he was elevated to this status was July 24, 1992. The location was Thistle Cottage, his parents-in-law’s Sussex home. The occasion? A photo-shoot in which he co-opted them, along with his wife, Judith, and two small children, into a display of family unity.

Five days earlier, the gap-toothed ‘Minister for Fun’ had been splashed across the front pages after it was revealed that he had conducted a three-month extra-marital affair with Antonia de Sancha, a jobbing actress who, at 31, was 12 years his junior.

Their liaisons had taken place at a tatty rented flat in London’s Earl’s Court, where Mellor stayed overnight, sleeping on a crumpled mattress surrounded by half-empty champagne and brandy bottles.
