Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Lisa I'Anson has separated from her husband, Amos Pizzey, after 19 years of marriage. The couple, who relocated from London to Los Angeles, have a daughter together. I'Anson, 61, has returned to London while Pizzey, 59, remains in LA. A friend cited that they "simply grew apart," and I'Anson is now focused on rebuilding her media career. Pizzey, whose mother founded the domestic violence shelter Refuge, was a member of Culture Club in his youth and a founding partner of the Met Bar before moving to the US and founding the internet company Talenthouse. I'Anson's departure from Radio 1 in the 1990s was notable, involving a warning and wage docking after an incident during an Ibiza broadcast. The split was described as an "amicable agreement" six months later.
