A Catholic priest has been sacked from a London university amid allegations he had a relationship with a 33-year-old student, it has been claimed. 

 

According to a report by Dailymail, Father Paul Rowan was reportedly dismissed from his job as senior lecturer and programme director of theology and religious studies at St Mary's University, in Twickenham. It came amid claims he had become close to undergraduate Charmaine Garton - a mother-of two - about two years ago.

 

According to the Sun on Sunday, Father Rowan is understood to be appealing against the decision, which was made in November. But the 47-year-old is also due to face a church probe, it is claimed.

 

A church source told the Sun: 'There are employment proceedings taking place regarding his dismissal from the university. Once they are concluded his future will be determined by the church. It is a matter which will be taken very seriously.'

 

Father Rowan, from Warrington, Cheshire, is popular among students at the south west London university, according to the Sun. One student is quoted as saying: 'He was easily the best lecturer I had at the university. He was very engaging and made the subject really great.'

 

The Liverpool fan, who once boxed for England under 19s, joined St Mary's University around eight years ago. Father Rowan did not respond to the Sun's request for a comment while Ms Garton said she could not comment.  MailOnline has requested a comment from the university.

Headies Organisers release statement on the drama that happened on awards night

Read the official statement from Headies Awards organization below...

We are proud of what we have achieved over the years. The Headies stage has birthed the careers of many artistes who are of A-list status today. We are also glad that we have reinstated pride and prestige into the winning of a locally organised music awards and, we have celebrated artistic ingenuity for 10 straight years; a feat no other group before us was able to achieve.

Every year, the screening team collate all creative materials released in the year in review and screen for nomination. This tedious process goes on for at least three months before the screening team comes out with a final list. The voting categories, such as 'Song Of The Year', 'Artist Of The Year', & 'Next-Rated' are left strictly for fans to vote and choose the winners. We wish to say categorically that we do not tamper with the outcome of the voting process. The limit of our involvement in this voting process is to advice the nominees to engage their fans and solicit for their votes. We do not accept any responsibility for failure on the part of the nominees or their record label, when they fail to do this.

Unfortunately, most times, Voting, Year In Review and Definitions Of Each Category, are generally taken for granted by many artists. We can also attest to, and hereby state categorically that, there is no evidence that any of the artistes aggrieved and vocal about their displeasure to the turnout of the award, voted in the 'Next-Rated' category, as our voting process captures email addresses and phone numbers.

We have ensured that the awards happened regardless of sponsorship, and that it gets better with each passing year, without giving excuses about challenges. We may not have gotten everything 100% right, but integrity has been our watch-word. The 109 Nigerian artistes that have won can attest to the fact that they did nothing different from those that have not. Awards by nature, are and will always remain, controversial except every nominee gets one.

We try to ensure that winners are within reach before announcing their category, as the whole essence of celebrating talents will be defeated without that.

While it is not out of place for an artiste or a party to vent their disapproval, we strongly condemn all kinds of improper conduct and the use of profanity on live television. In the same manner, we condemn provocative comments. In all, we see no use or reason for a disgruntled artiste or party to destroy valuable properties put in place to give them extra comfort before they perform or come on stage. This is totally unacceptable and will be addressed.

We congratulate all nominees and winners of The Headies 2015 and wish them a more successful 2016.
