Trucker Mark, 51, finds romance with Donna after contacting a number scrawled in ‘spiteful’ graffiti by her ex on a public toilet wall
Mark Ellis sent Donna Roberts a text after her ex wrote her details in loo offering her 'services'
A TRUCKER found love when he texted a phone number scrawled on a toilet wall.
Mark Ellis, 51, sent Donna Roberts the message “Hi. What are you up to?” as a joke.
He had seen graffiti left by her spiteful ex saying: “If you want a good shag call Donna on . . . ”
The puzzled legal secretary replied: “Who is this?”
The pair struck up a conversation, met days later — and eventually fell for each other.
Donna, of Brighouse, West Yorks, said: “I should thank my ex — he did me a favour.”
