Betrayed Scots wife ‘hopes bigamist husband is jailed’ after tracking down his other missus on Facebook
Kevin Ellis wed Julia Budge on Christmas Eve last year - despite being married to another woman since 1994
A BETRAYED wife told how she busted her bigamist hubby after tracking down his other missus on Facebook.
Stunned Julia Budge found out love rat Kevin Ellis was also wed to a woman called Rosemary and dad to five kids he’d never mentioned.
She uncovered the devastating truth after becoming suspicious over a secretive relationship Ellis kept up with her “rival” and his evasive claims that she was just an old pal.
Speaking to Moray Firth Radio, Julia, 49, said: “Kevin always impressed on me not to entertain or listen to Rosemary if she ever tried to get in touch.

“I found her on Facebook and messaged her. She was great and I then phoned her. She said she was Kevin’s wife and they had never got divorced.
“She told me he was father to her three children and he had two others. My world turned upside down and all I believed and trusted was worthless.”
Julia, of Wick, Caithness, said Ellis was “the man of my dreams” when they got hitched on Christmas Eve last year.
The first indication he was playing her for a fool when an “expensive” ring he gave her turned out to be worth just £30.
She said: “He told me he paid a lot of money to have this ring designed. I started searching on Google as I was doubting him.
"I was scrolling through all these pictures and I thought “Wow there’s my ring”. I clicked on it. Argos £29.99.”
Ellis, 58 — who tied the knot with Rosemary in 1994 — admitted bigamy at Inverness Sheriff Court on May. He will be sentenced later this month.
Julia added: “I hope he gets a custodial term. He’s a fantasist. I think he believes all his lies.
“I hate him and don’t want him moving on to someone else.”
