In 1995 Synon made headlines in the British and Irish press over her affair with Rupert Pennant-Rea, the deputy governor of the Bank of England. Pennant-Rea subsequently resigned.[2][3] Synon spoke to the press when he ended the affair. According to the Sunday Tribune, she said: "Yes, I adored him. Yes, I was in love with him."[4] She also told The Guardian: "I hate the bugger."[5] She was nicknamed 'the Bonk of England' by tabloid newspapers after she disclosed that she and Pennant-Rea had had sex on the governor's dressing room floor at the Bank.[6] The then governor Sir Eddie George allegedly had the carpet cut up.[7] In the 1990s, Synon became a regular freelance columnist for the Dublin-based Sunday Independent.[citation needed]
