Mother-of-eleven claims her husband has left her during her TWELFTH pregnancy

Cheryl Prudham, 32, claims that Robert, 29, has cheated on her more than TEN times over the course of their five-year relationship, starting from when she was pregnant with their first child.

She now says that he has walked out on her during her twelfth pregnancy - which will be the couple's sixth child together - and has vowed never to take him back.

Mrs Prudham told The Sunday People: "He's been unfaithful more than ten times. Things went wrong quite early on.

"Two weeks before we got married he was cheating. At that time I was eight months with our first son, Leon, and I felt I had no choice but to get on with it.

"It was a mistake but I was naive and just hoped it was a one-off.

"I was desperate to have a stable family life and give the kids a home with a mum and a dad - something I'd never had but always craved."

By the time Mrs Prudham met her husband in the summer of 2009, she already had six children by two different men.

She fell pregnant with her seventh child just two months after her first date with Mr Prudham, and he then moved from Manchester to live with her expanding family in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

"He seemed unfazed. I had six kids and my world soon revolved around him," she said.

While confessing that the relationship moved at a face pace, Mrs Prudham said the first sign of trouble came just weeks before they were due to marry in March 2010.

She explained: "A few weeks before we exchanged vows, Robert walked out on me, claiming he needed space.

"He started referring to a girlfriend in his Facebook status updates. I felt like I was having a nervous breakdown."

But the next month, Mrs Prudham said he came back "begging forgiveness" and the couple married in May 2010 - the same month Leon was born.

She said: "He was full of remorse and swore he'd made a mistake and would never cheat on me again."

However, their honeymoon period was short-lived as Mr Prudham apparently left AGAIN just six months after their wedding.

Mrs Prudham then claimed he changed his relationship status on Facebook, stating that he was in seeing a woman she had never heard of.

She took him back, but says that he walked out on her for a third time in March 2011 - two days before her birthday and while she was seven months pregnant.

"I had no idea how I was going to cope. I hit rock bottom," Mrs Prudham said.

But she claimed: "From then it followed the same pattern. Every six months he'd become distant.

"I'd confront him, he'd say he didn't want me, then walk out and start seeing someone else.

"I'd spend night after night wondering whose bed he was in."

According to Mrs Prudham, her husband never denies sleeping with women and merely says it is none of her business.

When asked about her claims, Mr Prudham called his wife a "liar" and admitted he had cheated while the couple were "on a break".

He then accused Mrs Prudham of being pregnant with SOMEONE ELSE'S child.

He said: "She's been with people behind my back. I'm not allowed to see the kids, I haven't a clue why.

"It's over. We split up because she is pregnant with someone else's baby."

Mrs Prudham said: "He knows I haven't cheated. How would I have the time? I'll do a DNA test."

The prolific mother sparked controversy this month when she revealed that her large brood - which is understood to cost the taxpayers £38,000 a year in benefits - would be expanding by revealing a pregnant scan of her twelfth child on Facebook.

She had her first child, George, now 15, when she was 17 and living in a hostel.

She then had son Jack, 13, with the same father before their relationship broke down.

She went on to date a butcher and by him had daughters Caitlin, nine, Maisie, eight, Millie, seven, and Madison, six.

With Mr Prudham she had sons Leon, four, and Lenny, three, and then daughter Lainey, two, and twins Lexy-Rose and Lacey-May, aged five months.
