Ugly ducklings: Tom Clifford and Janine Walker are to marry in December after meeting on Britain's first dating agency for ugly people
He admits he 'has a face that makes children cry' but she calls him 'her handsome prince'. And in a few months they will be married.
Self-confessed 'great personalities' Tom Clifford and Janine Walker have become the first couple to get engaged following a whirlwind romance sparked on Britain's first dating agency for ugly people.
The couple met less than a month ago onwww.theuglybugball.com- a dating website for the 'aesthetically challenged'.
But after four dates - and a mutual love of junk food and TV dinners - they got engaged this week. Now the pair are planning a winter wedding near their respective homes in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.
Tom, 36, a carpet fitter, said: 'I've been a joke to women for years because of the way I look.
'I always thought that I was too ugly to meet Mrs Right but my life changed when I met Janine. She's beautiful and I love her in every possible way. I still can't believe this happening.'
Tom, who has been single since 1998, spotted Janine, 31, on the site in late August.
His cover email read: 'Dear Janine, Just seen your beautiful face on The Ugly Bug Ball and would love to meet up. You live near me, so this shouldn't be a problem.
