By Shari Miller PUBLISHED: 05:41 EST, 20 January 2013 | UPDATED: 07:03 EST, 20 January 2013 The former partner of a benefits fraudster, who swindled as much as £100,000 from taxpayers to enjoy a lavish lifestyle, claims the ex-Moulin Rouge showgirl was also a love cheat who drained his finances. Company director Marc Lissimore, 46, today spoke of his relationship with mother-of-two Dawn Orton, who used taxpayers' cash to buy a convertible Mercedes and go on 41 holidays in 13 years. Orton was jailed for 12 months for wrongly claiming widowed mothers' allowance, plus an additional month after she initially refused to turn up for her trial at Hull Crown Court earlier this month.
