A BUS driver who wed a convicted bigamist has spoken out to warn other men to avoid her clutches.

Peter Knight married Lisa Jane Davies, 43, in Gretna Green after he fell for false claims that she was a successful doctor.

He accepted her wedding proposal on Valentine's Day last year and they married last July.

But the marriage was exposed as a sham when Peter, 63, from St Andrews, learned his new bride wasn't a doctor, had married five times before - and had a previous conviction for bigamy.

He found out that 18 days after he met, mum-of-five Lisa - known to him as Alisa - had gone off with another man for a non-binding marriage ceremony in Bali.

Peter got a text on their wedding day from the family of a previous husband warning him about Lisa's shady history. But he refused to believe it and went ahead with the ceremony.

When he later learned the truth, he said he "felt sick" and ended their relationship.

Peter, 63, said: "Looking back, I feel like an absolute fool. I felt so happy to have her attention, to have someone to share my life, that I accepted everything she said."

He added: "I believed in her even when I was warned she was fooling me, then I found out she was a fraud and a fake." Lisa - now known as Alisa Knight - has been reported to police in Scotland and Northern Ireland over her fake GP claims.

She had been convicted of bigamy on November 25, 2016, at Cardiff Crown Court in her native Wales.

Then known as Lisa Everard, already divorced once and in a legal marriage with two small children, she entered into a bigamous marriage in 2016 with Mike Hughes, 47, an unwitting lorry driver.

While married to Mike, she invited her soon-to-be fourth husband, Neil Annis, 53, a senior nursing assistant from Worcestershire, to stay in Mike's house while he was away.

In July 2019, she married Neil after her marriage to Mike was dissolved, then divorced Neil.
