The husband of a woman who formed a close relationship with a senior Roman Catholic bishop has spoken of his “devastation” for the first time.

Simon Hodgkinson’s wife, Olivia, became close to Kieran Conry, the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, during a period when their marriage was breaking up, according to the Mail on Sunday.

Bishop Conry, 63, denied having a sexual relationship with Mrs Hodgkinson, 43,  but last week resigned because he had been “unfaithful to my promises as a  Catholic priest” in an affair with a different woman six years ago.
