Cheryl Fergison slams Alexa’s claims that he is married to a ‘goatherd from Morocco’ ‘

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl Fergison has slammed claims that she is “married to a goatherd from Morocco.”
The 56-year-old actress – who is best known for having played Heather Trott on ‘EastEnders’ from 2007 until 2012 – has been married to Moroccan native Yassim al-Jemoni, 37 since 2011 but has son Alex, 22, from her marriage to Jamshed Saddiqi and was shocked to hear Amazon’s listening device Alexa tell her that she was married to a goatherd.
She said: “My son Alex asked his Alexa: ‘Tell me a fact about Cheryl Fergison’. And Alexa goes: ‘Cheryl Fergison is married to a goatherd from Morocco.’ Why’s that the first fact that comes up? And it’s wrong. We don’t have any goats. We’ve never had any goats near us! But that’s the first thing people say. I find it really difficult to pin down why – There’s racism, sexism, ageism – all the isms are there when people talk about our relationship.
The former soap star – who is now appearing as a satirical version of herself alongside comedy legend Catherine Tate in Netflix series ‘Hard Cell’ – went on to explain that their relationship is often thought to be a “con” because of the 21-year-age gap and is frustrated that it is often seen as “cool” for a man to date a younger woman, but not the other way round but ultimately “doesn’t care” what others think.
She told The Mirror:”The world has become so cynical. People think it’s got to be a con, it’s got to be a problem. But I say, ‘It hasn’t got to be anything. Just stop it. It seems to be quite cool for the men, like Mick Jagger, to date younger. But people don’t give any kudos to a woman dating someone younger, even though we’ve been together 11 years. Well we don’t care. It really is absolutely water off a duck’s back to us now. I just feel sorry for them, that they need to criticise our life.”
