A former homeless man has married a woman he gave money to while he was begging in Bristol.

Jack Richardson was living on the streets when he gave Toni Osborne 50p after she cried because she couldn鈥檛 afford to keep her lights on over Christmas.

Over the next year, Jack and Toni got to know each other as once a week Toni passed Jack鈥檚 Big Issue selling spot on the way to an appointment. When the underground car park Jack was sleeping in was boarded up, Toni offered him a place to stay, and Jack says 鈥渋t all blossomed from there鈥�.

Jack, who is now doing his degree while working as a Big Issue vendor, told 5 live he has 鈥渘ever been happier in his life鈥� and the couple are 鈥渁bsolutely perfect for each other鈥�.
