Blunkett announces wedding plans

Mr Blunkett has been in a relationship for about three years.

Former home secretary David Blunkett is to remarry, his spokesman has said.

The 61-year-old Labour MP for Sheffield Brightside will wed Margaret Williams, a doctor who works in the city.

The couple have been in a relationship for about three years and revealed their plans to friends at Dr Williams's 50th birthday party last weekend.

Mr Blunkett was divorced from his first wife Ruth, with whom he has three sons, nearly 20 years ago. Divorcee Dr Williams has three teenage daughters.
