LEGAL CLAIM EXPOSES AFFAIR

- Daily Mail

THE woman who claims she was paralysed after being catapulted from a bed was having sex with a wealthy married businessma­n at the time, it has emerged.

Claire Busby, 46, was left wheelchair-bound after falling from the super king-size double divan as she made love with John Marshall, 55. She is suing the bed firm for a seven-figure sum.

Marshall had been married to wife Sue, 48, for 19 years and they had been officially separated for only a matter of days when he began a relationsh­ip with Busby.

One friend suggested the accident exposed the relationsh­ip, because Marshall had told his then wife only that he was leaving their home near Alloa to become Busby’s carer. He later returned to Scotland.

Busby, a mother of four, claims the bed was in a “defective state”. The supplier denies any liability for her injuries and argues that the bed was properly assembled. |
