A widow who found her husband dead on the sofa she banished him to after a row over his working hours has found love just two months later - with his brother.
Mother-of-three Ashley Murrell, 33, had a heated argument with her husband Mikey, 36, when he returned home late from a 16 hour shift as she was worried he was running himself into the ground.
Mrs Murrell told her husband to sleep on the sofa on May 16, but when the beauty therapist woke up the next morning, she discovered her husband had died.
She later learned her husband, who worked as a carpet cleaner, had been working extra hours to save money to take her to Prague for their anniversary on July 3.
But now it has emerged that she is now in a relationship with his brother, Chris, after he supported her through her grief.

Mrs Murrell said the post-mortem revealed Mikey had choked in his sleep but the cause behind it was 'inconclusive'.
Paying tribute to her husband Mrs Murrell, who lives in Wellington in Somerset, said: 'Mikey was so caring, if he walked into a room and saw someone unhappy he would be the first person there trying to cheer them up.
'He absolutely loved his family. He wanted his kids to have all the things in life that he didn't and he worked so hard to make that happen.

In her eulogy at her husband's funeral on June 8, Mrs Murrell said: '
'Say goodnight at bedtime and always kiss goodbye because one day, you never know, they may grow wings and fly.
'Live everyday as if it's your last and let go of bad things in the past. Our lives are too short and they go fast.'
