Holding hands in a show of unity, the teacher struck off for having sex with a pupil emerges with her husband from their flat.

Isabelle Graham, 27, was banned from her profession this week after a disciplinary panel heard that she spent the night in a budget hotel with a 17-year-old boy.

Miss Graham, a devout Christian, was judged unfit to teach by a panel that heard allegations that in June 2014 she spent three hours in bed with the schoolboy at a Travelodge in Edinburgh, drinking alcohol and repeatedly engaging in sexual activity.

The former teacher claimed her drink had been spiked and that she had no recollection of the night.

But police said CCTV footage showed her kissing the teenager and a photo shared online appeared to show her lying in his hotel bed while he stood in the doorway holding a bottle of champagne.

This photo of a blonde woman in bed and a schoolboy clutching a bottle of wine sparked the probe into whether French teacher Isabelle Graham had sex with a student at a Travelodge

Miss Graham resigned from her post at Whitburn Academy, West Lothian, after the allegations surfaced and has relocated to Aldershot, where she was seen on Wednesday with her husband.

They spent the day with Miss Graham's father Peter, a pastor in Edinburgh, and her stepmother Amanda.

Mr Wilkie gave a statement to the tribunal defending his wife and saying he 'never had any doubt' that the allegations were false.

She had 'always put her Christian faith above all other things', he said. Miss Graham chose not to attend the hearing, or give evidence via video link.

But in a statement she said she was the 'victim' and that if the photograph was of her, it had been posed and was of someone who was 'not in control of the situation'. She said she was an 'active and practising Christian' who was waiting until marriage before having sex.

Since relocating to England, she and her husband have been working with Soldiers' and Airmen's Scripture Readers Association (SASRA), which aims to spread Christianity among troops.
