The text below is from Simone Clark's entry on Wikipedia, so it carries the usual health warnings about possibly being a load of ********.

Private life

Clarke was the girlfriend of Yat-Sen Chang, an ENO dancer of Cuban-Chinese descent, with whom she has a four-year-old daughter, Olivia.

On 19 December 2007 it was announced she planned to marry BNP councillor Richard Barnbrook, whom she had been seeing for more than nine months. [7] In statements made before he met Clarke, however, Barnbrook was quoted as saying, apropos her relationship with Chang, "I'm not opposed to mixed marriages but their children are washing out the identity of this country's indigenous people." He has since said that should he and the ballerina wed, "her child will be my child."[7]
The really serious thing about this story is the future of this poor child Olivia. I hope she is going to be okay. I really hope she and her mother and her stepfather, Barnbrook, become an affectionate and strong little family and are able to look back at all this in twenty years time and have a laugh about it. I hope Barnbrook is really working hard to make that happen. If he doesn't, then he really will have been the rat the NOTW accuse him of being. More than that I won't say because it is, after all, none of my business.
