“Jane had in fact thought I was gay when we first met.
“At the beginning of 1990, Jane and I became an item.
"We resided in a one-bedroom flat in Crouch End, which was very romantic – a bit like Robert Redford and Jane Fonda in Barefoot in the Park.
“I loved her zany qualities, her appreciation for the arts, her outgoing nature, her ability to converse with anybody, her strength, her passion – even her Welsh accent.”

The couple got hitched after Craig popped the question out of the blue.
“Eventually, I decided I was in love with Jane and, in a rash moment, I asked her to marry me,” he said.
Speaking about their relationship, he said: "I was both gay and straight, so being bisexual, it wasn’t a big issue for me or for her.
"We were two people who loved each other, coming together and wanting to have kids before it was too late."

However the marriage didn't last after Jane was caught with another man.
“It didn’t last, mainly because our sex life diminished somewhat and I suppose that led to the inevitable scenario – Jane slept with someone else," Craig said.
“I discovered the affair just before our two-year anniversary.
“We had a friend whom we called Lightning, on account of his not being very quick off the mark, and I found that they were sleeping together. I moved out and he moved in.”
