The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow (52), is set to announce that he is to divorce his wife, Sally Bercow (45) for have an affair with his cousin, Alan Bercow (57). The announcement will be an attempt to draw a veil over the painful chapter which has overshadowed his public role.
John Bercow is expected to be re-elected by MPs, despite the apparent hostility between him and the Conservatives, which concluded as a failed attempt to unseat him by changing Parliamentary rules before the General Election.
However, it is said that David Cameron allegedly told Conservative MPs that they now have more important priorities than removing the Speaker.
John Bercow’s marriage has been under constant glare throughout his six-year tenure in the role, after his wife become a household name after posing for a photo-shoot in Speaker’s House draped in a sheet, as well as appearing on Celebrity Big Brother.
Speaking about her husband, Sally Bercow said that he was “very forgiving”, but also added that “I'm not sure I want to be forgiven.”
