On-air wedding pair split

Birmingham - They met at their wedding, and they're splitting three months later.
Craig Cooper, 30, and Becky Duffy, 28, tied the knot on a "blind marriage" radio programme but split after she discovered he was sending flirtatious text messages to a female co-worker.
"It's just one of those things," Duffy said in an interview on BRMB radio on Tuesday.
Another marriage of strangers arranged by the station in 1999 also fizzled after three months.
Selected from over 250 contestants on the programme Two Strangers and a Wedding, the couple were picked by listeners to BRMB after being quizzed on air by astrologers and marriage counsellors.
Cooper said he was attracted to Duffy on the wedding day, but came to see her more as a sister or friend.
Duffy claimed to have no regrets.
"The risk of me and Craig not getting on together was pretty big anyway, but ... I've had such a good time," she said.
