AN elderly vicar who was left homeless by his toyboy lover is set to appear on Jeremy Kyle. Philip Clements, 79, wed Florin Marin, 24, after the couple met online - but the relationship turned sour when the young Romanian left the elderly man just months into their marriage.

Letter: How this homeless shelter avoids breaking up families
By Letters To The Editor | June 7, 2018 at 9:21 am How this homeless shelter avoids breaking up families Your June 4 story “Homeless families face tough choice” (Page B1) focused some much needed attention on the growing problem of family homelessness, especially in areas where shelters have policies that can result in breaking up families.
