A woman discovered the husband she believed to be a successful businessman was a Catholic priest when she filed for divorce.

Ms Sandra Vega Martínez, who lives in Madrid, made the discovery seven years after meeting Jorge Barange and five years after marrying him.

When she thought her spouse was on business trips he was usually taking mass. Ms Martínez told El Mundo: "Apparently he has celebrated mass in Rome, Aruba, Benidorm and Barcelona."

The pair met in Colombia and later moved to Spain with their son. She filed for divorce after he abandoned her and their son earlier this year and sold the family home.
