John George murder suspect Jonny Smyth is provided with three-hour conjugal visits with his new bride Madison Allen.
As revealed exclusively in the Sunday World, the controversial couple tied the knot at a secret ceremony in Gibraltar back in February – while Jonny was on the run from Spanish police who wanted to speak to him about the murder of the 37-year-old father-of-two.
Madison Smyth, as she is now called, revealed they got married in a low-key ceremony on St Valentine's Day after sneaking back into Spain from their secret hideout in Portugal – before travelling across the border to the British Overseas Territory to get married and then sneaking back.

Belfast man Jonny Smyth was arrested and returned to Spain six weeks later after John George's dad, Billy, tracked the couple down, though he has yet to be charged with any offence.
Much to the annoyance of the family and supporters of John George, Madison was never arrested despite their belief the 19-year-old Newtownabbey woman helped cover-up the murder.
Smyth is one of two men Spanish police quizzed about the murder of John George in Alicante in December last year.
John disappeared in December in the Alicante area. His remains were found in January following extensive appeals from the family and friends who travelled out to search for his body.
Now, they are officially husband and wife Jonny and Madison, who used to make tens of thousands of pounds from streaming their steamy sessions on OnlyFans, are entitled to conjugal visits which last a staggering three hours.

Last night, Madison Smyth told the Sunday World they are effectively provided with a hotel room for private use twice a month.
'You have a big room with a large window and a double bed with blankets and pillows,' says Madison.
'There's a bed, bedside table and chairs and then the bathroom is separate. It's not particularly romantic, but when you aren't getting to see each other much you don't care – I wouldn't even care if it was a prison cell – so long as we get to spend time together.
'You also have a shower and a bathroom in the room with deodorant and towels and things like that. You get three hours. I would describe it like a one-bedroom hotel with a bathroom. It's very clean and just pretty plain.'

Earlier this week Madison explained why she had decided to get married to a man who has himself talked about the possibility of going to jail for several years.
'We had wanted to get married for so long and we decided to do it in February in private.
'Jonny proposed in Portugal on the 11th of February and we got married three days later on Valentines Day.
'I'm the happiest I've ever been right now and we both know we are each other's number one supporter and always will be.

'I'm forever grateful for how happy he makes me and the things he has done for me in the past and even now and it will continue – we will continue to be and do our best for each other.'
She says after they tied the knot they went out for dinner but they are planning a full wedding when Jonny is released.
'We just went out for dinner afterwards – my mum or the rest of my family didn't know I was even with Jonny at that stage – they thought he was in Thailand and I was in Spain.
'When he proposed I sent a picture of the ring to my mum but she didn't believe it until I sent her a picture of the marriage certificate.

'I was shopping one day and I came back and he had the apartment all decorated and he asked me to marry him. And I couldn't believe it and said 'yes' straight away. He bought the ring last July and he said he would marry me – after the fallout after the John George murder he realised I was the only one to stand by him.
'I'm proud to be his wife he's been there for me more than anybody. At the start, when I first met him, he asked me what my job was and I said OnlyFans.
'But he made me stop it. I said to him I wanted to do it and he agreed – and when he saw how much I was making he joined in.
'We made £10,000 in a week. He still has money and is able to send me money. It's money from the gym.'
In the aftermath of John George's murder Madison was subjected to a hate campaign in which it was claimed she had covered up the murder.
'I've done nothing wrong and neither has Jonny,' she claimed
'I made my witness statement to the police two weeks ago – I have never been arrested because they know I had nothing to do with it – no matter what anyone else wants to say.'
Smyth was made a wanted man in January after disappearing following the discovery of missing Mr George's body in an orchard in Rojales near Torrevieja south of Alicante.
He was held on March 25 on an international arrest warrant after being tracked down to an unnamed Airbnb in Braga, a city in the far north of Portugal.

After being brought back to Spain, Smyth was initially held in a remand prison near the border town of Badajoz in Spain's south-west Extremadura region after being driven across the frontier by armed cops.
He was then transferred to another prison where he is at the centre of an ongoing investigation into the murder of Belfast dad-of-two John George.
Madison says whatever happens to Jonny she won't be returning to Northern Ireland ever again.
'We will always live in Spain – we will never return to Northern Ireland,' she said. 'He could be locked up but I think he will be set free because he's done nothing wrong.'
