The wife of horse sex pervert Alan Blackman has spoken of her horror - but says his crime won't end their marriage.

Married dad-of-three Blackman, 31, admitted intent to commit a sexual offence and attempted intercourse with a horse in court yesterday.

Police issued CCTV images of a man with distinctively large ears after an animal was found injured at a farm stables in Redenhall, Norfolk, on August 6.

Blackman was arrested and charged but initially denied the offence, taking to Facebook to slam locals who were "putting my name to a face which isn't me".

He added that he would be "contacting the police to clear this up".

But now the shamed removals man is facing jail after admitting the offence at Norwich Crown Court yesterday.

His wife Sarah said today that while she is "pretty disgusted" by what Blackman did, she still loves him adding: "I can't turn that off overnight"

She told The Sun she is not sure whether they will remain together.

Mrs Blackman said she wasn't sure why her husband had come to commit his vile crime, but revealed that in the recent months "things had changed."

"He just didn’t act like my husband," she said.

“He was going out all the time and ignoring my texts and calls and lying about where he had been."

Judge Stephen Holt will sentence Blackman on October 23.

He said: "This is clearly a case where a psychiatric report would assist the court.

"You have pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity but the court needs to know more about you."

Blackman was remanded in custody until his next appearance.
