Henry Bolton is a Walter Mitty character who is killing off Ukip, says one of his key aides who quit the party today over his affair with a blonde glamour model half his age, Mail Online can reveal.
Susie Govett, 46, was Mr Bolton’s press aide for his successful Ukip leadership bid last year.
She joins North East MEP Jonathan Arnott who has also left the party over the furore, while MEP Bill Etheridge has threatened to step down as Ukip spokesman if the leader doesn’t stand aside.
Mr Arnott quit the party saying Mr Bolton is ‘not the right man for the job’ and hitting out at ‘backstabbing and shameless self promotion’ in the party.
‘With yet another new leader came new forlorn hope,’ he said. ‘Over the last week it has become abundantly clear that the current leader is not the right person for the job.’
In a scathing interview with Mail Online, Miss Govett said she felt ‘betrayed’ after watching the man who she’s campaigned for twice on his honesty and integrity living an unaffordable ‘champagne lifestyle’ to impress Jo Marney, 25.
Mr Bolton left his wife and their two young children to start up a relationship with Miss Marney, who has herself been ejected from Ukip over racist and offensive social media messages.

The embattled party leader, 54 – who party bigwigs could oust on Sunday over his conduct – finally ended his marriage on Christmas Eve.
Miss Govett, a single mum-of two, said: ‘I don’t think the party will ever be able to come back from this because no one will ever be able to move beyond his conduct and her offensive comments. He’s killed Ukip.’
She went on: ‘He’s like some sort of Walter Mitty character, making out he’s something he’s not and living a champagne lifestyle he cannot afford to maintain to impress this glamour model half his age.
‘I feel so betrayed. We looked people in the eye and told them to vote for Henry because of his honesty and his integrity.
‘He campaigned as a happy family man. Now he’s claiming that his marriage was a sham. His wife simply had to go back to Vienna, Austria, to work last summer because someone had to pay the bills.
‘The reason why he’s fallen for a woman half his age is because he lacks emotional maturity. It’s like he’s having a delayed mid-life crisis.’

MEP Jonathan Arnott has also quit the party today, saying it was clear Mr Bolton was not up to the job
Miss Govett, a part-time call centre worker and Shepway District Councillor, who lives in Greatstone, Kent, has worked with Mr Bolton since they both started campaigning for the party in 2015.
She even inviting his family around for a private party at her house after the 2015 General Election.
She has never previously questioned his conduct – but said she she feels he’s threatened the whole future of the party that members have been trying to rebuild since Nigel Farage left as leader two years ago.
She continued: ‘He’s put the future of the whole party at stake at a key Brexit juncture, setting UKIP back a decade.
‘Now the party looks like it’s full of fruitcakes and loonies like the Tories always said it was. If a party can’t even govern ourselves, how can we seriously expect people to back us to govern the country?
‘The party’s leader has shown such a fundamental lapse in judgement with his conduct that we’ve lost 1,000 members in the last month.
‘We came in with a vote share of -18% on our last count in a by-election in Hulton in Bolton yesterday.’
Ukip is facing a potentially vulnerable time in its history with members quitting and vote share falling since its height during the 2015 General Election when the party became the third biggest in the UK in terms of vote share under Nigel Farage’s leadership.

Its National Executive Committee is meeting on Sunday afternoon to discuss Mr Bolton’s future as party leader.
Despite some insiders calling for him to quit or be kicked out, others fear his departure and another leadership election would leave the party in a precarious position.
Miss Govett says will serve as an independent councillor after failing to get Mr Bolton to accept responsibility for his behaviour and apologise.
‘He’s so busy blaming everyone else, from Jo Marney to party forces out to oust him, to the media, instead of looking in the mirror and acknowledging that there’s only one person who’s caused all this – and that’s him.’
A UKIP spokesman said: ‘I’m very sorry to hear that Susie has left the party.
‘She’s worked very hard for Ukip and we hope that she continues representing her constituents as she always has.’
