    The guys I've met who have been married 4+ times have had a wife or two die on them.

    Wife No 1: Margaret in 1966. Had three children and divorced after two years.

    Wife No 2: Jeanette, married in 1973 and divorced after just one year together. Mr Sheppard later described the union as a 'business transaction'.

    Wife No 3: Lesley, wed in 1976. He left five years later following a string of arguments. The couple have two sons.

    Wife No 4: Kathy, met in a holiday camp and they married in 1982. They had a daughter and lasted four years.

    Wife No 5: Sue, whom he met in a bingo hall and married in 1986. They had two sons but she threw him out in 1997.

    Wife No 6: Usha, wed in 1999. They split after four years when Mr Sheppard cheated on her while in Thailand.

    Wife No 7: Wan. The couple met in Bangkok in 2003 and married that year. The pair were in the UK together for just eight months when Wan left him and returned to her home country.

    Wife No 8: Weng, married in 2004. The pair met online and Sheppard flew out to the Philippines. The couple were together for 11 years and split in 2015.

    Wife-to-be No 9: Cristel. Sheppard proposed on December 31, 2015, weeks after leaving Weng.

    Being a man I understand it all. Its the women who have trouble with it. Supported by the sexist court system.

    Women suffer in the workplace. Men suffer in the family courts.
