Couple who married three weeks after they met haven't seen each other for FIVE YEARS

A couple who married three weeks after they met haven't seen each other for more than five years - because the husband is banned from entering the UK.

Sarah and Oluyemi Sholagbade, both 35, started talking online in April 2015. They then met face-to-face for the first time the following year when she travelled to Nigeria - and tied the knot just three weeks later.

More trips to Africa followed, before Oluyemi decided to try for a UK visa so he could move to be with Sarah. But his application was blocked - meaning the last time the couple saw each other was in March 2017.
