Her son Dillon, 19 – who is four stone overweight himself at 18st – became her carer, doing everything from cooking meals to bathing his mum.
But when she won the Guinness World Record as the heaviest woman on the planet earlier this year, ex-husband Alex could not resist her and they have rekindled their romance. Alex, 46, just 10st, said:
“She can’t walk, dress herself or even go to the toilet on her own – but I’m desperate to be her lover and caretaker again.
“Plus I miss our sex life. Pauline could be 70st and we’d still have sex every single day because it’s that good. “It was the biggest mistake of my life letting Pauline go and it’s taken her gaining weight and becoming the world’s heaviest woman to realise how much I still love her.”
Bedroom He is certainly not disappointed in the bedroom. He added: “Despite what some may think, Pauline is great in bed. She’s better than any other woman I’ve ever slept with.
“Within the first day of being back together we had sex six times in 24 hours. “Even though one of Pauline’s legs weighs more than I do, we’re able to position her body to make sex enjoyable for both of us.
“It’s really dangerous for us to have sex because at any moment the bed could collapse and one or both of us could be seriously injured or even killed from the impact.” Pauline, who admits Alex does most of the work in the bedroom, said: “It also helps that I did gymnastics until I was 12 so I’m very limber.”
Although they had spoken on the phone occasionally since their divorce, Alex was totally unaware of her massive weight gain until she made headlines for her Guinness World Record title earlier this year.
They rekindled their romance on holiday in Los Angeles last month.
