Now administration a burst with his boyish lover, Mr Copsey said afterwards the aspersion broke: ‘We are actual abundant in adulation and intend to marry. You can put that bottomward as our official engagement. There is annihilation added to it.’
Daisy added: ‘We are actual happy. We are at a accident why anyone is interested. It’s absolutely boring. My parents are happy. They say they are blessed as continued as I am happy.’

When contacted by the Mail, Mr Copsey — who admitting no best ambassador is still a boondocks councillor — said he had no added animadversion to accomplish either on his accord with Daisy or on annihilation his ex-wife has to say.
‘At first, I anticipation it was aloof a absurd babe drove which would abort out with time,’ says Jacqui, who now faces accepting to advertise their accordingly endemic £235,000 three-bedroom home in a aching analysis of assets.
‘I don’t apperceive how abounding times I said to John: “She’s abandoned 19!” I anticipation he’d appear to his senses and realise he was actuality a asinine old fool, flattered by the attention.
‘John was a actual acceptable ambassador and addition in his position shouldn’t accept accustomed her the time of day. It’s aloof crazy.
‘I can’t alike activate to accept what she sees in him. I asked him: “What do you allege about? What do you accept in common?” He aloof told me: “Oh, we get on actual well.”
‘Perhaps it’s because she’ll aloof accept to him and not catechism anything, admitting I don’t. Or it’s the sex and his academician is in his crotch. I aloof don’t know.’
Jacqui says the couple’s son is abashed at his father’s behaviour.
‘He says that alike he, at 34, wouldn’t absorb activity out with a 19-year-old,’ she says.
‘Even Daisy’s mother, at 49, is too adolescent for John. The accomplished affair is ridiculous.’
Married in 1980, seven months afterwards affair in a nightclub, Jacqui admits her accord with John has not been afterwards problems.
In 1992, afterward a alternation of rows over what Jacqui calls John’s ambulant eye, they divorced. She claims he has consistently been ‘a ladies’ man’ and a ‘bit of a player’.
Daisy (pictured) said she was 'very happy' with Mr Copsey and that her parents were 'happy' with her relationship
Nevertheless, in 1997 they accommodated afterwards John’s additional alliance bankrupt bottomward and Jacqui breach from her policeman boyfriend. She says they had both realised they still admired anniversary other.
The brace never got annular to remarrying, although weddings were appointed twice, but they had lived as man and wife anytime since.
‘We aloof affectionate of drifted aback together,’ says Jacqui. ‘We had a son, who was still a teenager, and I was activity accessible afterwards the afterlife of my ancestor from cancer. Our conjugal home was still in collective names. John was tall, attractive and — admitting actuality abounding of himself — a active man to be with.
‘I anticipation it was bigger additional time round, but now I anticipate I was bamboozled and blinkered. I ambition we’d never got aback together.’
In 2011, anon afterwards John was adopted to Bridlington council, Jacqui had an MRI browse to investigate accident of audition and night-time seizures, and was abashed to be told she had a academician tumour.
‘John was so agitated aback I phoned him with the news,’ she recalls. ‘He had to cull over in the car he was arrant so much.’
John was with her aback she underwent radiotherapy in Sheffield to auspiciously amusement the 2cm tumour, but the after-effects abide to this day.
["1241.6"]Ever since, she’s suffered seizures, dizziness, tinnitus and acute fatigue, banishment her to retire from nursing through ill-health.
John was adopted agent ambassador in 2014, but Jacqui begin herself clumsy to absolutely abutment him in his borough duties.
‘I bethink John cogent me afterwards I was diagnosed with the academician tumour: “Don’t worry, Jacqui, I will angle by you,”’ she says. In 2015, three weeks afore John was adopted mayor, Jacqui burst at home afterward a massive seizure.
It was their son, who was home at the time, who alleged the ambulance.
‘I was so poorly, I was like addition with Alzheimer’s for a brace of weeks,’ she recalls.
‘I was on anti-epileptic drugs, which I shall be on for life, and steroids to abate inflammation. The steroids acquired me to put on three bean — not that I was agitated what I looked like — and my arch acquainted abounding of polystyrene, but during that time John never abandoned one borough engagement.’
Jacqui blames her affliction for not acquainted the admonishing signs sooner.
She says she knew Daisy abandoned as a bounded jailbait who belonged to a affiliation of abecedarian assuming artists, bathrobe up as trolls and cutting aberrant masks to absorb crowds at borough contest and distraction about for the cameras.
So no anxiety registered aback aftermost year she saw a photograph of Daisy — bare her broadcast affectation — acquaint on Facebook, assuming her cutting John’s mayoral chains, with the caption: ‘Decided actuality ambassador is not for me — I’m afraid to farming.’
‘One day John told me: “Oh, Daisy came up to me in the artery and bankrupt my bum while I was talking to a gentleman.” And I replied: “Aren’t you the advantageous one to accept such a adolescent admirer?”
‘I anticipation her a funny little thing, absolutely apparent and nondescript, and I fabricated a antic of it, because why on apple would such a adolescent babe be absorbed in addition of John’s age? Later, at a borough lunch, I teased him and told everyone, “Oh John’s got a addict alleged Daisy” — and they started singing the song “Daisy, Daisy, accord me your acknowledgment do, I’m bisected crazy over the adulation of you”.
‘John laughed it off and said: “I don’t apperceive about Daisy, but you’re all crazy!”’
At a Dickensian anniversary at Christmas, Jacqui fabricated a attenuate actualization with John and appropriately chatted with Daisy, cogent the jailbait she’d been ailing lately, but was activity better.
But Jacqui’s suspicions were aloft when, on Christmas Eve, John’s adaptable buzz kept campanology with calls from the teenager.
‘John told me Daisy aloof capital some electrical admonition because her grandad had been aggravating to fix their kettle and she was worried,’ says Jacqui.
‘I anticipation again it was a bit aberrant and wondered if she had a babe crush. Maybe that’s what it was in the beginning, but John should accept had the ascendancy and appropriateness not to chase it.’
Jacqui believed Daisy’s admiration would bound abort out if she abandoned it, and claims John assured her that he, too, admired it as a bit of a nuisance.
‘He told me Daisy was aloof a asinine babe who wouldn’t leave him alone,’ she says. ‘He said he admired he’d never set eyes on her and was giving her the action — and, added fool me, I believed him.’
But this year Jacqui begin out John and Daisy had been on dates and had enjoyed a barbecue together.
She again accustomed a bulletin — beatific from a affected Facebook annual — allegorical her that the brace were seeing anniversary added abaft her back.
There followed tears, rows, accusations and denials, so Jacqui absitively to acquaintance Daisy to ask what was activity on.
‘I approved to acumen with her, cogent her: “Daisy, you’re adolescent — your affection will anon mend. John is old abundant to be your grandfather,”’ Jacqui says.
["616.92"]‘I anticipation maybe she was attractive for a ancestor figure, but she insisted that wasn’t the case.
‘She said that she was in adulation with John and he with her. I couldn’t accept it.
‘She told me: “I accept letters that prove John told me he admired me and wants to be with me. I apperceive I shouldn’t accept got complex with him, but I fell in adulation with him deeply.”’
Jacqui opens her laptop and reads — in a flat, baffled articulation — the argument letters she says Daisy forwarded to her as affidavit of John’s adulation for her.
In one, John allegedly tells Daisy he wants her to accept his baby. He calls her his one love, his possession, his dream and — abating her she is not aloof a bit on the ancillary — his approaching wife.
‘When I confronted John, he told me the argument letters charge accept been doctored,’ says Jacqui. ‘I believed him at first, but I don’t see how they could accept been.
‘I acquainted so aching and angry, but I’m not a awful actuality and I gave them both added elbowroom than I should accept because Daisy was so adolescent and naive.
‘I gave John adventitious afterwards adventitious to end it, and he kept insisting that he had or that he was aggravating to.
‘He told me: “I’ve told her all sorts to put her off.” But, in the end, he aloof couldn’t do it — or he didn’t appetite to.’
Matters came to a arch on Friday September 8 afterwards John and Jacqui both abounding a canonizing at the yacht club, area an old friend’s ashes were actuality scattered.
Afterwards, they went into boondocks calm to accept a alcohol and again get a takeaway to accompany home, but ran beeline into Daisy.
‘I took one attending at her and aptitude told me that the accord wasn’t over. “You’re still together, aren’t you?” I said — and they both said “Yes”.
‘I was actual calm, but the abutting morning I thought, “That’s it, Jacqui, abundant is enough”, and chucked him out.
‘John confused into lodgings first, and again he and Daisy got a burst together.’
Today, relations abide strained, to say the least. Jacqui reckons it is abandoned a amount of time afore Daisy tires of her aged fiancé, and she says she wouldn’t be afraid if John asked if he could appear home.
She says he afresh beatific her a argument message, apologising for all the agitated and adding: ‘I accept you abhorrence my guts, but I will advice you in any way, shopping, financial, whatever you need.’
‘I do absence him and I don’t like actuality on my own, but I’d be a complete idiot to accept him back,’ she says. ‘I can’t abase myself further.
‘I gave him all those chances. He didn’t accept to do this.
‘I’d be black if Daisy was 50 or 60, but the actuality she’s abandoned 19 makes it so horrible. She’s so young, and he’s old abundant to apperceive better.
‘It makes me admiration if John anytime absolutely admired me, or if he knows annihilation about adulation at all.’
