Man dumped by Jamaican bride gives her 2nd chance

A Scottish man who was dumped by his Jamaican bride 20 minutes after she arrived in the United Kingdom is giving her a second chance.UK Daily Record said the jilted man, 57-year-old Johnny Gannon, has already spent hundreds of pounds on her for medical bills, even after the 24 year old conned him out of over £5000 before dumping him.UK Daily Record reported.Related stories:Jilted Scottish groom, 57, to give second chance to Jamaican bride, 24, who jilted him after 20 minutesRunaway J’can bride?

He will meet her in Jamaica next month, the paper reported.

“She’s pleading with me to get her back over here and she says she doesn’t want a divorce,” the

Gannon — a British charity worker — had spent £5,000 to bring his new bride, Patrice Chambers to that country but was left crestfallen after she abandoned him within minutes of walking through his front door.

Gannon spent thousands arranging a visa for 24-year-old Chambers so they could live in marital bliss in his council flat in Perth, Scotland.

As soon as Chambers arrived in Perth, she sent Gannon out to buy pot noodles. When he returned she allegedly grabbed her bags and told him she was going.

She then flagged down a car and caught a train. He found out she had also run up a £500 bill on his mobile phone.

Gannon, who married Chambers in Jamaica early this year, believes his new wife fled to Bristol to meet a Jamaican boyfriend with whom she had organised the scheme.

He had reported her to police and the UK Border Agency.
