The wife of Conservative MP for Hove and Portslade, Mike Weatherley, is working as a prostitute, according to a report in the Daily Mirror.
Weatherley, 53, was elected in May as the Tories took the constituency from Labour’s Celia Barlow, but the revelations concerning his Brazilian wife Carla, 39, are expected to be highly embarrassing for David Cameron.
Mr Weatherley, who has three children from a previous relationship, met Carla (also known as Adriana Alves) in Brazil and they married in Brighton in 2003, but are said to have separated earlier this year.
The Mirror quotes Weatherley as saying on the subject: “Oh no. It’s a bit of a shock. We separated in February and I had absolutely no idea at all.
“We’ve kept in touch and have lunch together every week so we’re still good friends.
“That’s a horrible shock… thank you for letting me know.”
