A new TV drama tells the incredible story of Canoe Man John Darwin, who faked his own death at sea in 2002. He hid in a secret room at home while wife Anne made a fortune in a life insurance and pension scam – even lying to their two sons that their dad was dead. The plot was exposed by the Mirror in 2007. The four-part ITV drama The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe, which starts on Sunday, was inspired by a book by ex-Mirror man David Leigh – who now recalls his unlikely friendship with Anne.
