If someone uses deception to gain consent to sex, specifically lies about their real name, age, where they live, marital status and child status, can consent to sex with them be freely given? (England)

I don’t want to get into the details of what happened too specifically. If an individual gives a fake full name, age, marital status as listed above, to gain consent to sex with someone, does the law stipulate if that consent cannot be freely given? Clarification would be really helpful. Thanks
