£25,000 revenge of DJ's wife

It's one thing cutting up your errant husband's clothes and chucking them out on the street.

Selling his £25,000 sports car on the Internet for just 50p is another matter entirely. But that's just what the scorned wife of a controversial DJ did.

During a live interview with Jodie Marsh, Kerrang 105.2's Tim Shaw told the glamour model he was prepared to leave his wife and their two children for her. Wife Hayley was listening and said her husband's flirtatious interview was the 'last straw' in their relationship.

After having a few drinks and while her husband was still in the studio presenting his show, she posted an advert on eBay for the Lotus Esprit Turbo with a 'Buy It Now' option of 50p.

The item description read: 'I need to get rid of this car in the next two to three hours before my husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street.'

The car sold within five minutes.

On a previous occasion, the DJ upset Mrs Shaw, 27, when she was pregnant by ringing her sister live on air and saying he thought about her while having sex with his wife.

Mrs Shaw said: 'When he said he would leave me and the kids for Jodie Marsh, that was it for me. I am sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act.

'The car is his pride and joy but the idiot put my name on the log book so I just sold it. I didn't care about the money, I just wanted to get him back.'

She added: 'There is no hope for a reconciliation.'

AKerrang 105.2 spokesperson said the DJ was 'absolutely gutted'.

Mr Shaw was suspended from the station in February after he broke into programme director Andrew Jeffries' house during a live prank, damaged the property and wrote obscenities on the wall.
