Lee Hanlon and Amy Maxwell were both agency staff working for oil giant, Shell, when a video of them indulging in carnal acts was reportedly shared on social networks.

It is claimed that his wife, Charon then discovered the video and sent it on to a number of his contacts, including workmates and bosses at the company.

The footage, taken in a Premier Inn this month, was then shared widely and it has since been revealed the pair have lost their jobs at Shell.

Charon, 37, is alleged to have set up a WhatsApp group called "shagging" and, posing as her husband, posted the videos with the message: "Been caught cheating on wife and 8 month old baby with slag from Shell. Anyone else up for it?”

According to The Sun, she is also said to have scratched "cheating b*****d" into the paintwork of his Audi car.

It is claimed that Lee and Amy, 33, met six months ago while working at Shell's decommissioning plant in Aberdeen.

Both couples are said to be staying together despite the incident.
