A heartbroken groom-to-be jilted by his fiancée over Christmas is selling the chance for a new woman to join him on his honeymoon next month - and already has a bid of £690. John Whitbread, 32, from Donisthorpe, Leicestershire, is auctioning the spare ticket on his £1,950 dream break to the Dominican Republic with offers starting at 99p. Mr Whitbread says he is looking for a woman of any age with 'a good sense of humour' to join him on the two-week break at an all-inclusive four star resort in the Caribbean. He leaves for the Dominican Republic two days after Valentine's Day and returns on March 3 and hopes he'll have a 'new friend' with him.
