The wife of Ukip leader Henry Bolton has slammed her estranged husband for ‘wining and dining’ his mistress while she raises their two young daughters.
Mr Bolton walked out on wife Tatiana Smurova-Bolton, 42, and their children for topless model Jo Marney, 25, just days before Christmas.
After leaving his wife, it emerged the politician called his time with his new beau his happiest in many years.

But hurt by his words, the Russian born mother-of-two said he was happy because Mr Bolton had dropped his responsibilities in order to schmooze his new lover.
‘You didn’t have to provide for your family,’ she said about him in an interview with The Telegraph.
Adding that he didn’t have to worry about paying off debts and keeping the young family afloat, she said: ‘The maximum he had to worry about was where to wine and dine his mistress.’
Discussing the former soldier’s operations abroad, she said she felt betrayed after supporting him during his time in Afghanistan and when in his unsuccessful attempt to become police and crime commissioner.
Adding: ‘I was always there for him because I loved him. I was very proud of him. Now I’m ashamed I am in this scandal that he dragged me into.’
Mrs Smurova-Bolton’s words come after Mr Bolton was forced to admit he had ended his relationship with his new girlfriend following her alleged racist remarks.
After being spotted together enjoying drinks in Leicester Square with Ms Marney, many Ukip members are suspicious of Mr Bolton’s insistence, despite this week, insisting he had ended their relationship to concentrate on politics
But after being spotted together enjoying drinks in Leicester Square with Ms Marney, many Ukip members are suspicious of Mr Bolton’s insistence, despite this week, insisting he had ended their relationship to concentrate on politics.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Party members are fuming after he told them the relationship was over. He promised he would stop seeing her. The relationship looks awful and it’s dragging him and the party down.
‘But now they feel misled because he saw her last night despite the damage it is doing to him and to the party. They think he’s been foolish
On Monday, Mr Bolton said he had ended his relationship with Miss Marney, which he said was ‘obviously quite incompatible’ with his leader role.
But the pair were seen dining together at London’s National Liberal Club last night, where members said they were holding hands.
Ms Marney was suspended by Ukip after vile messages claiming Meghan Markle’s ‘seed’ would taint the Royal Family.

She also said she would never have sex with a ‘negro’ because they were ‘ugly’.
In social media posts she branded Grenfell tower a ‘nest of illegal immigrants’ and also criticised the victims of Harvey Weinstein.
In a statement earlier this week, Jo Marney said: ‘I apologise unreservedly for the shocking language I used.
‘The opinions I expressed were deliberately exaggerated in order to make a point and have, to an extent, been taken out of context. Yet I fully recognise the offence they have caused.
‘No offence was intended and, again, I apologise unreservedly for any such offence or hurt that my messages have caused to members of the public, members of Ukip my friends, family and loved ones.’
In an interview with ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Mr Bolton said: ‘I don’t defend these comments whatsoever and indeed Jo has been suspended pending an investigation under the normal rules of the party for such things, and it is against the constitution for the party to be racist in any way.’
Mr Bolton’s estranged wife Tatiana Smurnova was reported to be pleased Bolton has dumped the controversial model.
