A husband who was allegedly conned out of thousands by his own wife says he hopes justice is done for all her victims.

Dana Twidale was pictured sunning herself by a pool in Benidorm after going on the run from brides she is alleged to have taken money from.

Husband Carl, 45, from Hull, says he had no idea she was fleecing couples, catering companies, events firms, DJs and ex-boyfriends.

Describing their relationship as ‘one big lie’, he said that she has now been arrested in Spain.

He said: ‘It’s like my whole seven year relationship with her was just one big lie and it’s made me realise I didn’t even know who she was, or who I was when I was with her and now it just feels like I’ve woken up from a really long dream.

‘I’ve been putting a brave face on but it’s all just so emotional. I’ve lost seven years that I can’t get back and I’m often just sat there and start crying.

‘Every now and again I remember a happy memory that we had like our wedding day, which brings a smile to my face, but then that upsets me more as she wasn’t really my wife was she? I don’t know who she was as it feels everything she did was a lie.

‘I don’t want to be a martyr at all, I just want justice to be done for all her victims but people keep telling me that I’m the biggest victim of them all.’

They met in 2014 at his cousin’s funeral and were living together within a matter of weeks before separating in 2017.

Even after filing for divorce they tried to rekindle their relationship, but the last time he saw her was on July 14 this year.

It is thought that Mrs Twidale fled with her second youngest child and Carl has already pleaded with his wife to not ‘drag her into’ the mess.

After the allegations came to light Carl was approached by her ex-boyfriend who also said he had been conned.

Carl said: ‘Dana is the most amazing, fun loving and infectious person to be around and made me feel so special and lucky to be with her as she’s that attractive, I thought she was completely out of my league.

‘All you look for in life is to meet that one person to grow old with and I really thought I’d landed on my feet with Dana and thought she was all I wanted in a partner as she was just amazing and fun a minute, but really that was all a lie.

‘I’ve found out since from six or seven other men that have contacted me that treating guys like that is just her MO to squeeze money out of them and then move on to the next one, so I can’t believe that she ever really loved me.

‘When we were making moves to get back together and make things work again at Christmas, I later found out that she had been messaging Nigel, a guy she had been dating, at the same time that she was in bed with me, which really hurt.

‘If I saw her, I’d say to her why? Why me? I’ve got so many questions that need answering. She had everything; a successful wedding business, a loving family and a good relationship. I have no idea why she did it. It makes no sense.’

Humberside Police are continuing with their fraud investigation and want to hear from any other potential victims.
