The opening Saturday ceremony was held at a hair, beauty and tanning salon owned by Iris Ginn, who had led a double life as Leila the Milkmaid and charging for sex. The beauty shop was opened in Howard's district, the Sun reported Monday. Advertisement "Michael wouldn't have had a clue about all this when he met this woman," a Tory spokesman said. "I'm sure he will be pleased she is no longer a prostitute and is trying to make an honest living." Ginn, who still advertises on her Web site that she provides "specialist services" is facing jail for fraud for allegedly getting nearly $55,000 in housing benefits to run a brothel in the seaside town, reported the Sun. The mother of two is scheduled to be sentenced next month and has been warned she may go to prison if the money is not re-paid "He was very pleasant to talk to, the fact he took time out in his busy schedule to help us is fantastic," Ginn said. "I've admitted what I did in the past is wrong and now I'm trying to make a new life." Advertisement
