More Fun-Bigamist who wed three friends tells of total surprise
A woman who married three times but never divorced her first husband told last night of her “total surprise” when police told her she was a bigamist.
Mum-of-three Danielle Loxton, 37, was given a seven-month suspended jail term this week after admitting re-marrying twice without divorcing.
All three men were old friends – two worked together at holiday camp Pontins without knowing the truth. Danielle – whose Facebook status is “It’s complicated” – admitted two counts of bigamy and was convicted at Nottingham Crown Court.Speaking for the first time last night, she insisted solicitors told her the divorce from first husband Peter Clarke had been finalised in 1996 – three years before she wed his colleague Steven Baker. They later divorced, then Danielle married Stacey Porter – a friend of both men – while still legally Mr Clarke’s wife.“I’ll never forget hearing that police officer tell me I was a bigamist,” says Danielle, from Southport , Merseyside. “It was a total surprise. When they said the divorce from Peter had never happened, I thought I would be sick. I remember speaking to solicitors before marrying Steve and them saying it was fine.
Kim Jong’s weirdest moments. (Video)
Here are 17 of his weirdest moments...
1. His official biography claimed his birth was foretold by a swallow and led to the appearance of a double rainbow along with the emergence of a new star in space. He went on to spread the myth among his subjects that his mood could control the weather.
2. You may not be aware of this, but Kim Jong-Il was the world's greatest golfer... According to an official government handout marking his 62nd birthday, Kim celebrated by demolishing a par 72 course in just 34 strokes, managing a world record five holes-in-one on the way. To top it all, the superhuman round was apparently the first time he had actually played the sport.
3. In 2006, German giant rabbit breeder Karl Szmolinsky was contacted by Pyongyang
4. In 2004, a former chef for Kim revealed the North Korean leader employed staff to make sure the grains of rice served to him were absolutely uniform in size and colour.
5. In 2010 Kim Jong-Il banned the World Cup from being broadcast in North Korea
6. Hacked off by the lack of film-makers in his native land, in 1978 Kim arranged for two South Korean directors to be kidnapped from Hong Kong and brought to him. They tried to escape but eventually relented, making a string of movies for him including the cult Godzilla rip-off Pulgasari.
7. After being told by doctor's to give up smoking in 2007, Kim quit then decided he needed to go one step further to protect his health and so outlawed fags for the rest of his compatriots with a nationwide ban.
8. According to Russian emissary Konstantin Pulikovsky, who travelled with Mr Kim by train across Eastern Europe , Kim had live lobsters air-lifted to the train every day which he ate with silver chopsticks. Where did all his food go? An official biography on the North Korean state website declared Kim Jong Il did not defecate. The biography has since been removed.
9. After suffering a back injury following a horse riding accident, Kim was prescribed painkillers. Fearful of becoming addicted, he ordered a half-dozen of his closest staff to receive the same injection under the logic that if he became dependent, he wouldn't be the only one.
10. As well as being something of a foodie, Kim knew his booze. According to Hennessy, Kim was one of their single biggest customers, importing £350,000 worth of the cognac every year.
11. In 2004 he claimed to have invented the hamburger.
12. One of his unofficial titles was The Central Brain.
