A PREMIER League star last night gagged The Sun after we found him romping
with busty Big Brother babe Imogen Thomas behind his wife’s back.
The love rat got lawyers to ban us from naming him despite pals of lads’ mag
model Imogen saying he had told her she was the love of his life. Even his
agent admitted to being “shocked” at the secret six-month fling — which has
seen the pair meeting up at a string of luxury hotels.
The Sun was tipped off by a worried friend of Imogen, 28, who fears the soccer
star has just been stringing the brunette along for sex.
Our source said: “She’s completely lovestruck.” The romps — sometimes just
before key games — have seen Imogen usually spending an hour or two in the
hotel room before sneaking out.
Yesterday Imogen, who appeared in the seventh Big Brother series and was voted
sexiest ever housemate, admitted being at the same hotels as the player but
claimed she was either meeting her mum or attending “business meetings”.
Asked who the late evening business meetings were with, she smiled and said:
“That’s confidential.” When we pressed her about being spotted tiptoeing in
and out of hotel rooms, she said: “I have no comment. My private life is my
private life.” She then zoomed off in her sports car.
Last night the highly-paid player’s agent said of the revelations: “I’m
shocked. This is incredible. I can’t believe it. He’s such a family man.
“I don’t know what to say, knowing the closeness of his family.”
Big Brother catapulted Imogen to fame and a successful career as a model in
2006.
A former Miss Wales, she has previously dated telly’s Russell Brand and Spurs
ace Jermain Defoe. Five years ago a holiday sex tape she made with a DJ
boyfriend when she was just 20 leaked on to the internet — which she said
made her “feel sick”.
