An ex-wife has been handed a restraining order after she claimed her husband spent more on a £235k Porsche than on his children.

Eloise George, 48, used multiple Facebook accounts to post messages about her 56-year old former husband, including one post mocking his orange Porsche GT3 RS car claiming he spent more on the car than his own children.

She said she was "flabbergasted" at its market value of £235,000.

In a series of messages, Mrs George who lives in a £349,000 house in Worsley, Greater Manchester, accused her spouse of 24 years Tim George of being a "thief" and a "controlling partner".

She went on to claim that he had mistreated, starved and under-clothed their son and daughter.

Mrs George was issued by police with a PINS notice warning her about her conduct but was arrested after turning up at the gates of their daughter's Church of England primary school and shouting "your father is mental" through the fence.

At Manchester magistrates court, Mrs George was convicted of harassment and banned from contacting her former husband under the terms of a restraining order. She was fined £120 and ordered to pay costs and surcharges of £130.
