A MARRIED priest who had an affair lost his appeal today against a tribunal decision to ban him from working as a vicar.

The Rev David King, 54, from Egton, North Yorkshire, was found to have had an improper, intimate and physical relationship with Tracy Byrne, 46, a married mother-of-four.

Mr King was suspended on full pay in February last year after Mrs Byrnes husband James, 52, complained to the Church of England about Mr King's relationship with his wife, which began in December 2004.
