  Simon Hoggart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon David Hoggart (born 26 May 1946) is a British journalist and broadcaster.
In December 2004 it was reported that Hoggart had had an affair with Kimberly Quinn shortly before her marriage in 2001, continuing infrequently thereafter, while Quinn was also involved with politician David Blunkett.
Hoggart cunningly escaped Angus Deayton's fate (being mercilessly mocked about an affair on a topical comedy quiz show that he chaired) by putting his family in the audience of The News Quiz, shortly after the affair was revealed.

Mr Hoggart confirmed that, over the years, he had come to be wary of the army’s version of a given event, due the fact that it was often based predominantly on the account of the squaddie concerned, who knew that he would face serious consequences were he to admit to having broken the law.
