Wife discovers her husband of 17 years has secretly married another woman in £45,000 wedding ceremony after she sees photos of them kissing on Facebook

Yvonne Gibney, 55, had been married to globe-trotting oil contractor Maurice Gibney for 17 years, Wirral Magistrates' Court heard. But it was only when she checked Facebook and saw photographs of Mr Gibney, 49, dressed in a wedding suit and cuddling teacher Suzanne Prudhoe, that she learned that her husband - and father to her son - had married another woman. The mother-of-two soon discovered that her husband had not only married again during a £45,000 ceremony surrounded by palm trees in Oman - but that he had actually tied the knot 11 months earlier.
