Before she got together with Merkell, Palmer was previously in a relationship with boxer Alfie Rothwell starting in 1991.
Palmer and Rothwell share her oldest child, son Charley, who was born in February 1992.
However, their relationship did not last long, and they split two years later, in 1994. She moved on with filmmaker Nick Love, and they tied the knot in August 1998.
This marriage lasted even shorter than her relationship with Rothwell, and they completed their divorce in May 2000.
