A feast for the eyes!

A bigamist was caught by his wife after she saw a photograph of him grinning with his new Gambian teenage bride on Facebook.

Nicolette Watkinson was further devastated when she noticed Stephen Smith, 52, married Awa Jobarteh, 19, on November 7, 2012, at the same African register office they tied the knot seven years earlier.

Miss Watkinson, 39, then called the police, but her husband has avoided a prison sentence after claiming he was duped and abandoned by Miss Jobarteh two days after arriving back in the UK and she has not been traced since.

Nicolette (pictured above left) met her husband in 2001, after his first divorce, but has been left in financial ruin after their marriage breakdown.

She was declared bankrupt when Smith failed to pay the mortgage and is still waiting for her husband to sign divorce papers, Teesside Crown Court was told.

The 52-year-old was prosecuted for bigamy after he admitted 'hastily' rushing down the aisle with his third wife because he was in love.

The court heard that the day before the wedding Smith signed a petition for divorce from his second wife, which carried a signature purporting to be by Nicolette - but it was faked.

Nicolette admitted she was disappointed that he was given a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years with 150 hours' unpaid work.

Discussing the way he was dumped by his new bride she told The Sun: 'She looked so young in the pictures and he looked a little pathetic. I don't know what else he could have expected'.

Smith had married second wife Nicolette in the Gambia in December 2005. The marriage broke down two years later.

He went missing and her solicitors received no reply in efforts to start divorce proceedings. She then reported him to the police when she found out that he'd remarried.

Smith admitted a charge of bigamy, his first crime but said he had thought he was divorced and that his divorce was 'automatic'.
