John Terry and Wayne Bridge set for awkward reunion with ex-England team-mates in same £995-a-night World Cup hotel
JOHN TERRY and Wayne Bridge are set for an awkward reunion as they are staying in the same hotel for the World Cup.
The former Chelsea and England team-mates famously fell out over allegations Terry had had an affair with Bridge’s then-partner Vanessa Perroncel in 2009.
Bridge infamously refused to shake Terry’s hand prior to a game between Chelsea and Manchester City, despite Perroncel denying the allegations.
The left-back later quit international football as he believed there would be division in the squad if he was picked alongside Terry.
But now the pair could have to face one another at the Fairmont hotel in the new Doha district of Lusail.
The hotel, which was completed in 2022, is exclusively housing World Cup officials and members of the media like Terry, who is working as a pundit for beINsports during the tournament.

Meanwhile, Bridge is in Qatar as one of the World Cup’s ‘Fifa Legends’, and has made appearances in hospitality and similar events.
But there is a chance he will avoid contact with Terry altogether in the huge 362-room complex.
The five-star hotel offers several different communal areas with rooms priced at £995 when it opens to the general public at the end of the tournament.
The hotel also offers a private pool, spa, and a ballroom, with guests also treated to fine dining.
