I believe that Maggie Reilly took a break from working after the Discovery tour, as she was pregnant, which is one big reason why she didn't work with Mike after then (and of course, I'm sure that Anita being Mike's girlfriend was a huge incentive for him to work with her instead! ). Maggie's manager has since refused requests from Mike to work with her again (the last time was, of course, Blue Night on Earth Moving) - Mike has no idea why.
I think we should also be careful with the word 'affair' - it implies an illicit relationship to me, which as far as I know, Mike has never had. If he ever has, I'm sure he'd rather we didn't discuss it here.
Remember that what images appear in the videos are the choice of the director and not the artist, so Mike may have had no say over who or what appeared in the Five Miles Out video. It's possible that Maggie couldn't or didn't want to appear in the video, and so was replaced, similar to the way that Simon Phillips is replaced by Pierre Moerlen in the Moonlight Shadow video.
