The couple pictured getting frisky near a pirate ship in the middle of a children’s play park during lockdown are a former nuclear submarine engineer and a teaching assistant who don’t live together, Mail Online can reveal.

Ian Solomon, 56 and girlfriend Helen, 44, who does not want to reveal her last name, told MailOnline that they sneaked into West Hoe Park, Plymouth on Easter Monday.

After spending the bank holiday drinking together, they said they wanted to cheer themselves up because of all the misery caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Solomon revealed: ‘Things have been so gloomy and depressing, not just in Britain but across the whole world.

‘The sun was shining, we had been drinking and just wanted to cheer ourselves up with a bit of nookie. 

‘We wanted to do something nice for each other and bring a smile to our faces.’

Describing their amorous encounter in the pirates’ den play area of the park as a ‘quickie,’ he added: ‘We weren’t long at all and first made sure that there weren’t any kids or other people around. 

‘But clearly somebody with a very good digital camera on their phone was watching and caught us at it.’

Helen said: ‘Whoever took our picture must have been very quick because we were finished in less than ten minutes.’

The saucy duo were snapped on top of each other in the park even though council-run play areas in the city are now closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The couple, from Plymouth, said they deeply regretted getting frisky because it meant they were unable to maintain the government’s recommended two metre social distancing rule, something they have been strictly adhering to.

Mr Solomon added: ‘In this instance it was impossible to maintain any kind of social distancing and I’m very sorry for that. This was inappropriate behaviour and not the right message to send to the nation at this time.

‘What we did was just a drunken one off and I can promise you, that we won’t be doing anything like this in public again.’

Mr Solomon, a former nuclear submarine engineer, has two grown up children and three grandchildren from a previous relationship.  

He said he was planning on opening a beauty parlour in Wiltshire when coronavirus restrictions were lifted.

Mr Solomon said: ‘In this instance it was impossible to maintain any kind of social distancing and I’m very sorry for that. This was inappropriate behaviour and not the right message to send to the nation at this time’ 

Helen, who works in a local school, has three children, also from a former relationship.

The couple revealed that they also got carried away on Easter Bank Holiday Monday because they had not seen each other for several months as Mr Solomon had been away, returning to his home city in Plymouth to sit out the lockdown.

They revealed that they only found out they had been pictured after mentioning their brief encounter to a friend, who told them that news of the incident had gone viral.

Mr Solomon added: ‘I was shocked when I looked at the internet and realised that it was us in the pictures. 

‘It’s actually very embarrassing for us because we are well known in Plymouth, have grown up children and we should know better.’

Expressing remorse for their actions, the couple said that they would be making a donation to the NHS to show how sorry they are for what they did.

In a message to fellow Brits, Mr Solomon declared: ‘A lot of people across the nation are feeling depressed and sex is one way of making yourself happier. But my advice is to do it in private.’
