A MAN living in Cleethorpes has been exposed as a bigamist – after his first wife found wedding photos of him and his new wife on Facebook.
Brian Frain, 36, of St Heliers Road, Cleethorpes, is facing prison following Anne-Marie Sim's shock find.
He married Ms Sim at a register office Greater Manchester in June 1999 after a two-month "whirlwind romance", a court was told.
They separated two months later and she moved to Scotland, Tameside Magistrates' Court heard.
She tried to get in touch with Frain five years later to seek a divorce as she wanted to re-marry.
She tracked him down on Facebook - where she saw the wedding pictures of his marriage in September 2009 to Louise Meredith, the court heard.
He used the same register office for both weddings, claiming he thought the marriage was over because it had only lasted two months and took place years ago.
The police were informed and Frain was later arrested.
Frain pleaded guilty to a single count of bigamy. The case was adjourned for sentence until August 7.
