Brian Frain, 36, was rumbled by first wife Anne-Marie Sim when she saw pictures of his second wedding - to Margaret Meredith - on Facebook, seven years after they separated. He claimed that he had married for a second time, because he thought the marriage was automatically voided as they were separated. But even after he was arrested and prosecuted, Frain, from Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire, claims to have fallen in love again. He adds that he can't wait to marry third wife, mum-of-four Donna Darwent, 33, despite still waiting for his divorces to be finalised. Frain said: 'I will take my punishment, because I know when I come out of prison, I will be with the love of my life. I have done the crime, so I have to take the punishment.

'I have since learned that it costs £45 and you may have to wait a couple of years if you do not get the person's consent.' He added: 'Donna has made me grow up a lot. She has helped me through my ups and downs and made me a better person.
