Who are John and Anne Darwin’s children Mark and Anthony?
THE canoe conman and his wife let their children believe their father had actually died for five years.
John Darwin, 71, was presumed dead after he staged a canoe accident, leaving behind his two sons to grieve his loss.
At the time of the interview Mark, then 40, shared his home with wife Flick, 39 and his sons Max, five, and baby Joe, two-and-a-half.
He told the publication that he had forgiven his mum Anne Darwin, now 69, "to some degree".

Anthony Darwin
Again there is not much information regarding Mark's younger brother Anthony, who is around 43-years-old now.
In the same interview with the Daily Mail in 2016, Mark said Anthony was less forgiving of his father's actions than his brother.
At the time Anthony refused to speak to John and has a more watchful relationship with his mother than Mark has but is in contact with her.
Do Mark and Anthony still speak to their parents?
Since their arrest in 2007, Mark has been in contact with both of his parents, although he has not forgiven them fully.
In the 2016 interview he said: "I have come to believe that having him alive, and in my life, is much more preferable to his loss.
"No, it doesn’t negate what he did to me.
"Yet I feel fortunate that he is alive."
On the other hand Anthony has cut all ties to his father but has reconciled with his mother.
Since her release in 2011, Anne has admitted that lying to her sons was “something that I will live to regret for the rest of my time”.
She said: “I was at absolute rock bottom – it was like being dead to my sons when I was still alive.
"But I kept writing and somehow that kept me going.”
While in prison, Mrs Darwin decided to separate from her husband, after seeing a psychologist.
She now lives a quiet life near York and has reconciled with her sons.
