Love cheat Tory MP told to resign by jilted hubby whose wife he bedded
Broken-hearted Matt Bunt demands Steve Double quits after he romped with his new wife, Sarah
THE JILTED hubby whose wife was bedded by love-rat MP Steve Double has backed a petition by more than 500 people demanding he should resign.
Matt Bunt, 33, was left heartbroken after the cheating politician admitted romping with his newlywed Sarah, 26.
Former evangelical church pastor Double, 49, MP for St Austell and Newquay in Cornwall, came clean about his deception and his wife of 30-years Anne, 52, forgave him and took him back.
But while Double has saved his marriage and got his life back, Matt says his and Sarah’s have been ruined.
The pair have split up, with Matt left dejected and alone in their terraced family home in Newquay, while ashamed Sarah has been staying with friends.
A source revealed the blonde aide has left her job in Double’s constituency office and is now planning a new career.
Matt has now signed a petition calling on love-cheat Double to resign which has raised more than 500 signatures.

Matt, who works as head of content for Pirate FM radio station, made a personal attack on the MP, saying: “You've gone out of your way to purposely demean and blame Sarah as well as talk about how it's affected the most important person in your life - you.
“But it's ok for you. You've still got a job, a family and a career. Meanwhile, Sarah is a shell of her former-self. She has been left to pick up the pieces of her life. Yes, she was wrong.
“But let's remember that you made the decision to leave your wife, leaving Sarah with no other option. You engineered this situation."
“You seem deluded enough to think you can have your cake and eat it.
“We as constituents put faith in our MP to make important decisions on our behalf. We rely on their integrity and judgement.
“However, Steve Double MP's judgement has proven to be very flawed. Making a decision to leave your wife, encouraging your mistress to leave her husband and then within just 24 hours changing your mind.
“You have totally betrayed the trust and responsibilities placed on you as an employer. I presume that when you next advertise for a member of staff, you'll add the line "Must not be blonde, pretty and female", just in case you feel inclined to fall into bed with them too.
“You've already made it clear that your regret wasn't in embarking on the affair. It was actually hiring Sarah in the first place 12 months ago.”
He added: “You've shown your true colours, now do the decent thing and resign.”
Double, who campaigned on a platform of Christian family values, came clean about his affair with Sarah after rumours began to circulate locally.
Sources claim Double promised to leave his wife Anne for Sarah.
But within a day of announcing the tryst he cut off ties with Sarah and went back to his wife.
After getting her forgiveness he jetted off to Tel Aviv in Israel for a tourism junket, leaving others to pick up the pieces.
Double last night declined to comment on Matt Bunt’s demands for his resignation.
