The father whose two-year-old girl died when her buggy plunged into the sea has told cops he let go of the handles to kiss his secret mistress.
Andrew Hopper admitted taking the woman on a seaside day out with Rebecca, two, and her eight-month-old brother Lewis.
While the pair embraced, a gust of wind rolled their double buggy over a 15ft drop. It hit the swirling waters with the strapped-in mites face-down.
Andrew and the woman, a colleague from work, leapt in to unclip them ? but eventually all four had to be pulled out by passers-by.
Andrew?s wife Sarah had been unaware of the affair, and believed the woman to be only a family friend. Last night she was trying to come to terms with the revelation.
