THE teenage schoolgirl who fled to France with jailed teacher Jeremy Forrest has revealed the pair were only caught because of her jealousy. She says she hopes to marry the 30-year-old and "have children" with him when he is released from prison.

In an interview with The Sun, the girl – who cannot be named for legal reasons – said she and Forrest were looking for bar work in Bordeaux when Alison Cummins, the manager of the HMS Victory pub, called to offer Forrest work. The schoolgirl, who was 15 at the time, decided to accompany him to the interview because she believed Cummins had flirted with him at their first meeting.
