Charlotte Robertson, 43, who is mum to Thomas, 24, and Jamie, 20, met her husband Glen, 47, in 2019, while she was working behind the supermarket tills. Their brief first encounter left Glen, who has 12-year-old daughter Freya, smitten and he visited the shop each day in the hope of chatting to her

It wasn't until four months later that their paths crossed again -and the pair went on their first date the next day. By the end of the week, they had declared their love for each other -with Glen proposing two months later. They tied the knot in September 2020 and are now approaching their fourth wedding anniversary and say they ''haven't spent more than three days apart''.

Charlotte, who is now a carer in a children's care home, from Winchester, said: "I was in the process of a divorce when I met Glen, so I wasn't expecting to find love again. I didn't even realise he was flirting with me at the tills. Nor did I know that he came into the store every day to try and speak to me.

"None of my colleagues noticed that Glen was coming in every day. When we did speak again, I could tell Glen was trying to keep the conversation going. I felt a compulsion to give him my number, like I was possessed. I'd never given my number to a total stranger but now I'm thankful I did.

"We instantly clicked and after our first date, we knew we had something special. I've never had a stalker before, so when Glen admitted, he'd been trying to speak to me for four months I felt flattered. I like to tease him about it every now and then but I'm just as besotted with him. Every little helper has a stalker-and sometimes you marry them."

Charlotte, who was working at Tesco in Broadwater, Stevenage, first came across Glen, an electrician, at her check-out in October 2019. Although their encounter was brief, Glen tried to make conversation, with Charlotte being "oblivious"...
