'I caught my ex messaging other girls - so I got the ultimate revenge he'll never forget'

A scorned woman who claims she caught her ex messaging other women savagely took revenge against him - by pouring glitter over everything he owns.

Jade Butters, 23, bought 82 tubes of glitter for £15 after deciding to teach her ex a lesson - and making sure he'd never forget her.

She then filmed herself sprinkling the glitter over his clothes and bed, and even putting it in his toothpaste.

The nursery nurse also sprinkled glitter into his washing powder, ensuring his clothes would remain glittery for many days to come.

Jade, from Durham, said: "We got a £15 Amazon voucher from work for Christmas.

"I spent the entire voucher on 82 tubes of glitter. I know how glitter can get really annoying and I just thought it'd be a really good idea to spread it around his house.

"Work gave me the gift of revenge for Christmas. At first, I thought I'd be grown up and the bigger person but after I'd done it I felt so proud. I can't stop smiling when I think about it.

"I didn't want to do anything that would be criminal damage or that would hurt someone's feelings, it's just a harmless prank."

Jade sought her opportunity to launch revenge on her ex of three years when she collected her belongings from his house while he was at work.

Jade said: "I still had a key so we agreed that I'd go and collect my stuff while he was at work so I used it as my opportunity to do it.

"I put it in the washing up liquid, washing powder at the top of his toothpaste so when he goes to brush his teeth it all falls out, in the drawer of the washing machine and in all his pockets.

"I thought about putting it in the toilet system.

"I put it in his bedding so it'll fall out when he strips the bed. It'll be haunting him for years."

Jade also left the glitter in places it wouldn't immediately be noticeable, meaning the house looked untouched at first.

This left her ex to discover each surprise when he went to brush his teeth, get into bed and wash his clothes.

The relationship spiralled when Jade claims she saw messages to other women on his Apple Watch last month.

She said that, when confronted, her ex confessed everything - and she ended it on the spot.

Jade said: "The first couple of years were really nice and light-hearted. It was a good relationship, we'd do things together and were really lovey-dovey.

"A couple of weeks before Christmas, I was on his Apple watch looking for games because I was thinking of getting one and some messages popped up but I thought they were just from a game server.

"It was playing on my mind so I went back to check and I saw he'd been messaging other girls and sending photos.

"I just said 'I'm calling it quits and leaving'. I wasn't putting up with it. I was disgusted and devastated, I just couldn't understand why he'd do that.

"It was just before Christmas and we were ready to start a new year and then I found that."

She claims that, after discovering the glitter all over his house, her ex sent her an expletive-laden message.

But she said: "A lot of people [in my work group chat] have been saying how evil it is and a few girls have said they're going to do it."
