Ukip leader meets model after saying romance off

Ukip leader Henry Bolton has been photographed with former girlfriend Jo Marney in the bar of a London gentlemen’s club just days after declaring their romance was over.

The meeting came hours after Mr Bolton gave an interview in which he accused political rivals in Ukip of exploiting his private life in an attempt to unseat him. He did not rule out getting back together with the 25-year-old model.

The former army officer said: “I have seen people die, I have seen people blown up. I have seen people shot. Even the Taliban doesn’t quite prepare you for Ukip though.”

The Ukip leader claimed he met Ms Marney to discuss death threats she received after the publication of text messages in which she made disparaging comments about Prince Harry’s fiancée Meghan Markle.
