THE mistress of love rat Birmingham MP John Hemming has told how she and their five-year-old daughter are still pining for their missing cat Beauty a year after it was taken from their home.

Emily Cox said that daughter Isabel still asks after tabby Beauty.

And she is pleading for anyone who may have seen the kitten in to get in touch.

Mr Hemming’s wife Christine was last week found guilty of stealing the cat in a burglary at Ms Cox’s Moseley home in September last year.

Details of the Yardley Liberal Democrat MP’s “love triangle” relationship with Mrs Hemming and Ms Cox were revealed during her trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

The MP had divided his time between Ms Cox’s home and his family home where 53-year-old town and country planner Mrs Hemming lives children yards away.

Mrs Hemming, who has three children with the MP, is due to be sentenced on October 28 for burglary.
