But when lockdown was imposed weeks later, the runaway pair persuaded mum-of-three Sue to let them move in with her from their holiday chalet, friends say.
Mrs Wiltshire is living in the main £450,000 detached three-bed home with Mr Wiltshire’s mum while he and his mistress, 59, are living in the annexe, separated by just an internal door.
Bosses are probing the Jag-driving priest, attached to Holy Trinity Church at Hadley, in Telford, Shrops.
A friend said: “He thought he would be able to get his wife and mum out of the house but they refused.
“When lockdown hit and he had nowhere to go, he moved his mum out of the annexe so he and Lucy could have it.

“They see each other every day. There’s not much room there. His wife is furious.”
Grandad-of-ten Mr Wiltshire, whose role involves helping struggling parishes, joined the church in 2018.
He revealed his 18-month affair with mum-of-three Ms Baker to his wife in March.

Mr Wiltshire, when asked about the allegations, said: “I have no comment to make.”
Mrs Wiltshire and Lucy Baker did not respond.
