Personal Life
Gold has levelled charges of sexual abuse against her stepfather, claiming he abused her at the family home from when she was twelve to fifteen years old. After an early failed marriage to an Ann Summers dancer, her partner was money market dealer, Dan Cunningham, still in his twenties. The couple split on New Years Day 2006, after three failed IVF attempts. They subsequently reunited and became engaged, and had twins, a boy and a girl, in May 2009. Their son, Alfie, who was born with alobar holoprosencephaly, died January 17, 2010. In December 2010 a nanny working for Gold was charged with trying to poison her with screenwash. 33-year-old Allison Cox who had been caring for Gold's daughter, Scarlett, was charged with three counts of administering poison with intent to annoy. In March 2011 Cox was jailed for twelve months after admitting administering poison with intent to annoy. Guildford Crown Court heard Cox was trying to get the chef who prepared the soup into trouble by lacing two bowls of asparagus soup with screenwash on 5 October 2010.
