Nicolette Smith was further devastated when she noticed Stephen Smith, 52, had married Awa Jobarteh, 19, at the same African register office they tied the knot at seven years earlier.
Ms Smith then called the police, but incredibly her cheating former partner has avoided jail and claimed he was the victim.
Nicolette admitted she was disappointed that he was given a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years with 150 hours' unpaid work.
'I feel as though he's got away with this and has been portrayed as some kind of victim himself after all that he's put me through. He knew if he responded to my divorce petition, he'd give away where he'd been hiding,' she said.
Discussing the way he was dumped by his new bride she told The Sun: 'She looked so young in the pictures and he looked a little pathetic. I don't know what else he could have expected'.
Smith claimed he was a wronged victim, duped and abandoned by his latest spouse after he met her in Gambia, married her on November 7, 2012 and brought her to the UK.
Smith married his second wife in December 2005. The marriage broke down two years later.
Robert Mochrie, defending, said: 'This was a man who acted rather hastily. It is, you might think, absurd somebody is getting married on the same day they are handed a divorce certificate. If he'd waited just a few months perhaps, a divorce might well have been finalised,' adding that Smith's motive was love.
'This defendant, born in 1961, was perhaps understandably taken by her and was keen to tie to knot,' said Mr Mochrie.
'He has been wronged. He was abandoned by his third wife. Her intentions were quite clearly to dupe a man of more senior years, as so often happens with men who travel to foreign lands to seek happiness.'
