A Scottish man who claimed that he was left heartbroken after his Jamaican bride dumped him 20 minutes after arriving in Britain is now thinking of giving her a second chance.
It was reported that the couple tied the knot earlier this year and that over £5,000 (J$690,000) was used to bring the woman to that country.
According to a report in the Daily Record, Johnny Gannon, 57, has agreed to meet his 24-year-old wife in Jamaica next month, despite her desire for him to scrap the trip and fly her back to Britain.
THE STAR understands that about eight weeks ago the woman contacted Gannon claiming that she wanted to save their marriage.
Since then, he has allegedly sent her hundreds of pounds for medical bills after she told him she needed to do a scan and test for gallstones.
"My friends think I'm mad, and I understand people questioning my thinking. But she's pleading with me to get her back over here and she says she doesn't want a divorce. I don't know what to think. A lot will depend on her demeanour when I meet her," Gannon told the Daily Record.
It was reported that within 20 minutes of arriving through his front door, the woman flagged down a car and caught a train.
Gannon had said that he believed his wife fled to Bristol to meet a Jamaican boyfriend with whom she had organised the scheme.
According to Gannon, "I said to her, 'Why do you need me when you've got your two-year visa now? She said that if it was about that she wouldn't be back in Jamaica."
Further he said, "She says I shamed her because the story has been in the press. She
doesn't seem to grasp it from my perspective."
