Seasick Steve and Tinie Tempah in a South African SUV challenge. Personal life Spiteri had a long-term relationship with the editor of Arena magazine, Ashley Heath. The couple have a daughter, Misty Kyd (named after the phrase from the Clint Eastwood film Play Misty for Me and Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid), born on 9 September 2002. The birth prompted her close friend Thierry Henry to dedicate a goal to her daughter by revealing the slogan "For the new born Kyd" beneath his shirt later that day. The couple separated in 2005. Spiteri married celebrity chef Bryn Williams in September 2018 at the 15th-century church of St. Tyrnog in Llandyrnog, North Wales. She wore a dress designed by her friend Stella McCartney. Despite being married to a chef, Spiteri does the cooking in their home, as she revealed on the Fuelling Around podcast in 2021. At Hogmanay on 31 December 2022, she joined Dame Judi Dench in an impromptu performance of Abba's Waterloo at the Fife Arms hotel in Braemar, where they were both staying. Political views In the run-up to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, Spiteri expressed support for Scotland remaining in the Union, stating "As far as I'm concerned, I'm British. And, yeah, I'm Scottish but I feel I'm part of the UK." In September 2021, Texas announced that Spiteri and all her bandmates now supported independence after Brexit. Other interests In September 2021, Spiteri appeared on BBC's RHS Chelsea Flower Show to share the garden she had created in North Wales that supplies the fruit and vegetables for her husband's restaurant. She is a patron of children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent. She is also a supporter of Arsenal FC and a season ticket holder at the Emirates Stadium. Spiteri is a car enthusiast.
