'I'm marrying Big Issue seller who gave me 50p!'
A former homeless man is getting married to a woman he tried to sell the Big Issue to, before giving her money to help her out.
Jack Richardson gave Toni Osborne 50 pence towards her electricity, after she confessed she was too poor to buy the magazine.
