The pair started speaking via direct messages on social media, and just two days after they met in person, they had tied the knot, leaving Katie’s followers completely bewildered and her family gobsmacked.

Since then, Lee and I have spoken several times over various stories we at the Mirror had been working on, and I’ll give him his due, nine times out of ten, he always gave us his side.

Last month, an ex-partner of Lee’s, Crystal Janke, claimed he scammed her out of $150,000, so naturally, I sent him a message to see if he wanted to give a comment on the story. Another of Lee’s exes also claimed to have had messages from Lee, claiming he was using an ex “to my advantage and played on her feelings”.
