AT LIES OVER AFFAIR WITH MODEL

Timeline that nails deceit

from his first marriage, had been due to travel to Russia with Tatiana to celebrate the New Year with her family. But he hadn’t been able to get a visa.

Tatiana goes on: “The next contact I had was on December 30 when he sent an SMS saying we needed to talk.

“This was followed by another message saying there was something I needed to know – that he had been photograph­ed leaving a restaurant with a woman and that at the moment the photo was taken, the woman had taken his hand.

“He said she wasn’t the reason that he came back before Christmas, that he spent Christmas alone and he hadn’t known her long.

“I told him I only had one question – whether he had anything with this woman? He told me he wasn’t going to lie, that he did. Everything came crashing down on me.

“I was so shocked and hurt. Ever since I’ve felt paralysed. I’ve been struggling on my own, working full-time to support our family while

Jo Marney tweets photo of herself and Bolton with arms around each other at UKIP Christmas party.

He flies to Vienna to spend Christmas with his wife and children.

The family pose together, with the UKIP leader resting his hand lovingly on his wife’s knee.

Bolton leaves Tatiana reeling by revealing he is returning to the UK due to work pressures.

Tatiana receives a text from her husband with four kisses.

Jo tweets a cosy selfie of her and Bolton in a pub.

Bolton texts his wife telling her he has been photograph­ed with a woman leaving a restaurant and, when asked, confirms he is with her.

UKIP chief issues a statement saying he is in a new relationsh­ip, but there has been no “clandestin­e affair”.

Answering the door at Jo’s family home he tells reporters: “My wife is fully aware of what’s been going on and has been abroad since July.”

raising his kids by myself, and this is how he repays me. I don’t recognise the man who has done this.” Tatiana says his new job as UKIP leader had put a strain on the relationsh­ip because he was no longer around to help her with the children or able to support the family financiall­y.

But she adds: “We had our ups and downs, but we loved each other. We were waiting until he was earning again, so we could rejoin him in the UK. I listened to his Christmas message as UKIP leader and he was appealing to people to be nice to a stranger this Christmas.

“How can he say that when he has left his wife and two little ones two days before Christmas despite them begging him to stay?

“He hasn’t apologised. He hasn’t even explicitly told me our marriage is over. He hasn’t had the courage.

“How can you betray your wife so terribly and then not even say sorry for all the pain you have caused? How can you treat the person you at least used to love like that? Nobody with any moral principles does that. He is an ex Army officer, an ex police officer.

“He has dedicated his life to helping other people. That is the man that I fell in love with. I never imagined that I would ever be in this situation.”

Tatiana then spoke of her horror at seeing photos posted on Twitter by Jo from inside the family home.

She explains: “One of the things that has hurt the most is that he let this woman into our family home, where we’ve had so many happy times.

“When I saw the photos I was speechless. That woman with her shoes on the stool that we had bought to mark one of our anniversar­ies. “It was shaped a bit like a camel and the girls loved it, they would have fun sitting on it and riding it.

“So to see the photo of his lover with her shoes on it, those are the little details that really hurt. How dare she? She captioned it ‘chill’. Well, I’m so pleased for her that she enjoyed a nice chill after Christmas in someone else’s family home after helping someone else to cheat on his wife.”

Reports have suggested Bolton met Jo at a UKIP party on December 16.

Jo posted a Twitter photo of the pair with their arms around each other, captioning it: “Fantastic Xmas dinner with our leader @henrybolto­n”.

Challenged on Facebook about her relationsh­ip with Bolton, Jo insisted: “He was in an unhappy marriage and was estranged from his wife.”

But Tatiana remains baffled at the supposed speed of the romance, adding: “How is it possible that within two weeks of first seeing this woman he has left his family of 11 years?

“There were no warning signs, nothing. In all his texts and calls before he came home for Christmas he was just like normal – a perfectly loving husband and father. He would call me ‘Love’, just like he always did.

“Not only has this woman helped destroy our family, she is bragging about it on social media with no respect for the people who are hurting.

“I keep asking myself whether this is a dream, a nightmare. All I want is to wake up from it and for none of what has happened to be true.

“I’m just so grateful and thankful to both my family and his family and all my friends for being so incredibly supportive at this horrendous time.”
