WIFE SWAP LIZZIE AND HUBBY SPLIT

TV Wife Swap scrounger Lizzie Bardsley has split with her husband Mark after a series of rows.

The mum-of-eight, who bragged in the Channel 4 show how her family raked in £37,500 a year in handouts, is staying in her three-bed semi.

Jobless Mark has left the family home in Rochdale, Lancs.

Lizzie, 32, who had been married for nearly eight years, said yesterday: “It is amicable and we wish to be left alone.”

A source added: “They’re a feisty couple and have been having some seriously loud bust-ups.”

Earlier this year a court ordered Lizzie to repay £5,000 in benefits after she failed to declare her television show earnings
