He is just a dirty, dirty scoundrel
SPURNED LOVER SPRAYED PEER’S FLAT WITH BLOOD
Ex-showjumper Lizzie Purbrick ick says she walked in on the peer while hile he was “hard at it” with a love rival. al.
She claims the shocked pair air leapt out of bed when she walked ed through the door and caught them m in the act.
In a warts-and-all interview with The Times, Purbrick said the trio thenenwentwent for a cup of coffee to discuss the incident.
Purbrick, who was in a relationship with Lord Prior of Brampton for five years, claimed Prior, also 63, had tried to convince her to return to her home in South Africa before she discovered his affair.
The former Olympian was fined £170 and given 120 hours community service and a restraining order at Camberwel l Magistrates’ Court where she admitted a charge of criminal damage.
Purbrick smeared “Lady slut” and “big d** Lord” and “whore” on the walls Lord Prior’s London home.
She poured the rest of the pig’s blood on the floor causing it to spill out of the front door.
A neighbour called police, fearing there had been a murder.
Purbrick said: “It was just so unkind the way he did it. He’s just a dirty, dirty scoundrel. He carried on for six months under my nose when I didn’t know what was going on.
“He had just got this job and took me out to a very smart dinner.
“He said, “I’m so sorry. I’m going to work for the next 10 years. I can’t carry on this relationship. Why don’t you go to South Africa and have more time there, sweet pea, and we’ll just bumble on’.on’ He was going to have his cake and eat it, the b******. He was very devious.”
Purbrick, who competed for Britain during the 1980 Olympics, said she was ready to accept the relationship was over and went to Prior’s flat to pick up her things when her worst fears were realised.
She added: “It was 10 past 10 on a Monday morning, and they were hard at it. They leapt out of bed and David said, ‘Let’s go and have a cup of coffee,’ all sitting round the sma r t table hav ing polite conversation, then I got up and left.”
Purbrick decided to smear pig’s blood over Prior’s flat because he has an affection for the animal. A butcher friend supplied her with nine litres of blood after she conned him into thinking she was playing Lady Macbeth in a play.
The Norfolk-based equestrian then put it in a suitcase and travelled by train to London to execute her plan with a garden sprayer.
She said she only intended to daub a few words but added: “Then I got on a bit of a high. I’m an adrenaline junkie so I thought I had to give it the whole hog.
“It was so harmless. It was just funny, excruciatingly funny.”
