Model: Becker's five-second sex fling was romantic highlight

The Russian model who had a five-second fling with Boris Becker in a restaurant broom cupboard has said it was the romantic highlight of her life.

Angela Ermakova likened Becker to a "high-speed train".

The 34-year-old model said the liaison at London's Nobu restaurant was anything but sordid and she had felt like Cinderella in a dream.

She recently won a £3,300 monthly maintenance payment deal for herself and daughter Anna.

Becker said the five-second fling had been a mistake, but Miss Ermakova's differing view of the brief encounter emerged when she spoke for the first time about it.

She said: "Boris pulled me into the broom cupboard. He became more and more passionate, to stop him when he was so excited was as impossible as stopping a high-speed train.

"I felt like Cinderella in a beautiful dream. Boris was like a radiant German knight."

She said she hoped the publication of photographs of Anna in the magazine would encourage Becker to make contact with his 16-month-old daughter. "I hope when Boris sees these magical photos of Anna that his heart will go out," she said. "It will be like looking at his own reflection in a fountain of youth."

Becker, 33, is reported to be preparing a house in London for Miss Ermakova and Anna.

He agreed in the High Court in London this month to pay maintenance for at least another 17 years, although he originally disputed Miss Ermakova's claims and hired private detectives to investigate her background, admitting he was Anna's father only after DNA tests proved it.
