    The man and his wife Lenka, 41, are from Selsey in West Sussex, Mail Online reported. The couple have been married for 13 years.


    Lenka, a mother of three, works in a Premier newsagents. They live in a £120,000 terraced house but now plan to buy a new home so that "their three children can each have their own bedroom", making their living conditions a "bit more harmonious".
