Donal MacIntyre's wife wants to "have it out" with the woman she has accused him of cheating on her with.
Donal and Ameera MacIntyre
Ameera MacIntyre - who has been married to the investigative journalist since 2006 - slammed her husband and accused him of being unfaithful to her in an angry post on her Facebook page and has now told him she wants to meet with the unnamed woman.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She wanted to meet the woman with Donal to see how they would behave together in front of her. She considered a split and selling the house. But she still loves Donal and wants the marriage to work."
According to the insider, the situation is even more devastating because Ameera - who has a three-year-old son and two daughters, aged eight and 13 with Donal - knows the woman involved.
The source added: "This really got to Ameera. She had known this woman."
Ameera revealed she was devastated to find racy messages between Donal and the woman on his phone.
She told the Mail On Sunday newspaper: "I found the most disgusting messages on his WhatsApp [a social media messaging app].
"They were so sexually explicit that I consider them hardcore pornography.
"I could hardly believe the words had been written by him. It felt as if the ground was collapsing around me."
Donal has insisted his relationship with the woman is purely platonic and Ameera admitted she regrets lashing out on social media.
She said: "It's the curse of sharing on social media. 'I was just so angry that I lashed out. I wasn't thinking.
"But now that it's out there, I just want Donal to tell the truth."
