Martin opts for flamboyant life in a frock over farming

A farmer is to swap his wellies and dungarees for stilettos and a flamboyant frock in a bid to build a better life.

Martin McGuinness, 48, has decided it’s time for Miss Scarlett Rose — his glamorous drag persona — to take centre stage.

Twelve years have passed since he left behind the bright lights of London and immersed himself in rural life back home in Meenarillagh, 5km outside the heritage town of Ardara, Co Donegal, following the death of his father, Frank.
