MOVING ON
Romanian toyboy, 27, says he wants to find ‘new love’ as he bars family of his Brit ex-vicar husband, 81, from cremation
A ROMANIAN toyboy says he hopes to find a new lover just hours after cremating his 81-year-old ex-vicar husband.
Florin Marin, 27, dramatically banned his husband Philip Clements' family from his funeral after they called him a "gold digging leech".

The ex-vicar, who moved to Romania to be with his toyboy 55 years his junior, left Florin his fortune when he died three weeks ago.
Florin, 27, yesterday attended the Philip's cremation alone in Romania after banning any of his family from attending.
And speaking to the Sun Online today, Florin said he was now looking to the future for himself after he would scatter his husband's ashes at a local lake next week.
Outside the crematorium in Bucharest, Florin said: "My plans for my future - I will get in love with someone else.
"I am only 27-years-old. The life, it's in front of me. I hope to find someone nice.
"I know that I don't find someone like Philip, never. Philip will remain in my heart all my life."
Philip had moved to Bucharest to be with his husband, 55 years his junior, earlier this year.
But he fell ill earlier this month and was taken to hospital where he died - tragically alone due to coronavirus restrictions.

And Florin today said he had not invited the family of Philip to the cremation after they accused him of being a "leech".
Philip's 71-year-old brother, retired Royal Mail driver Tony Clements, previously blasted: "He’s a gold digger. Jeremy Kyle said it to him when they went on his show and he said 'no, no’. But he is."
And his older brother Brian branded Florin a "leech" who "got what he always wanted".
Outside the crematorium in Bucharest, Florin said: "I don't invite his family here. They can't come because of Covid anyway.
"It was a pleasure to invite one of Philip's brothers, Charles, but Tony and Bryan, no I won't accept."
And he said he was yet to collect the £150,000 life insurance after his 81-year-old husband died.
He told The Sun: "For the moment, I don't apply for the insurance.
"It wasn't the moment because I waited first to be Philip in peace and to be cremated."
He added: "I will though, of course."
CONTROVERSIAL COUPLE
Florin will receive his late husband's £2,000 a month pension for the rest of his life as well as £10,000 for the funeral.
He told The Sun that he wanted his 81-year-old husband to be remembered as a "happy, good man."
Retired Rev Philip married Florin in April 2017, selling his home in Sandwich, Kent, to buy up a flat in Bucharest.
Then just five months into their marriage, the pair split up over arguments including Florin's late-night clubbing.
Mr Clements then returned to the UK, living with a friend, while Florin reportedly struck up a new relationship with a rich Spanish businessman.

But Philip made the move to Romania at the start of the year so they could be together after they rekindled their romance.

The couple had been living off of Philip's teaching and church pension.
Before his death, Philip had gushed over his new life, saying: "I love him to bits, if we were permanently separated, I would be the most unhappy person in the world."
