Team-mate affair claims dismissed

THE furore over underwear model Vanessa Perroncel’s alleged relationship with England captain John Terry erupted again yesterday with fresh claims of liaisons with three more players.

Ms Perroncel’s publicist dismissed reports that she had flings with three other past and present Chelsea stars, saying she regularly met footballers through her work in nightclubs.

Perroncel, the ex-partner of Terry’s England team-mate Wayne Bridge, has yet to speak out about her alleged relationship with the Chelsea captain andremains at the centre ofa bidding war to go public with her story.

Responding to claims in The Sun relating to an alleged affair with one footballer in 2003, Max Clifford said: “She met him when she used to work in a club, about 10 years ago.

“She knew him and she knew some of the players but she didn’t have affairs with them.

“She knew lots of the footballers and lots of stars, as you do when you work in clubs.”

The publicist said he would be meeting Perroncel later yesterday to discuss her next move.

Her son Jaydon, 3, was collected by former Chelsea player Bridge, his father, and taken to his Manchester home to protect him from the media frenzy.

The couple, who separated in July, were going through “a very emotional time”, Clifford said.

Bridge, 29, who now plays for Manchester City, will look after Jaydon for the next couple of days. He and Perroncel have shared childcare since their relationship came to an end.

The publicist has dismissed suggestions that Perroncel was in love with the England skipper, although they had been “close friends” for years.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he will allow him some time away from the team if he needs it, but insists no decision has yet been made.

He has confirmed Terry will remain captain of the club but has refused to discuss whether he should hold on to the England captaincy.

All eyes were on the captain on Tuesday night as he led the Blues out in a 1-1 draw with Hull.
