DYNASTY - COLLINS' HAPPY FAMILY DOWN TO HUSBAND

COLLINS' HAPPY FAMILY DOWN TO HUSBAND

Former DYNASTY star JOAN COLLINS has credited her toyboy husband with bringing her family back together.
Collins, 75, wed 43-year-old Percy Gibson in 2002 after four previous marriages, which produced three children - and she claims the theatre impresario is responsible for ending years of estrangement between her and daughters Tara and Katie, and son Sacha.
The actress admits her relationship with her kids has been "fragmented" in the past - but her marriage to Gibson has helped bring the family a lot closer.
She says, "He has brought our family together so much. I have three children by two previous husbands and it's always been a bit fragmented and Percy has managed to make our whole family meld into one unit.
"My three children and three grandchildren and also my sister and brother. It's all consolidated now, which it used not to be. He's the most wonderfully diplomatic and kind (person). He's wonderful and he genuinely loves them all, which I think makes a difference."
