'Kelly Brook cheated on Thom Evans with me in Mauritius,' claims Danny Cipriani
Danny Ciprani has lifted the lid on his fiery relationship with Kelly Brook in a bombshell new autobiography - and claims she cheated on her boyfriend with him.
The rugby ace, 35, claims that Kelly flew to Mauritius for a secret rendezvous - while still in a relationship with his former teammate Thom Evans. Danny and Kelly, 43, dated from August 2008 to June 2010, with her starting a new relationship with Thom shortly after their split.
Despite playing for an Australian team at the time, Danny recalled that seeing the new couple all over the papers was painful, and that he was “devastated” when they announced their pregnancy in March 2011.
He writes in the book: "It was definitely a difficult scenario — it’s like seeing your mate and your ex-girlfriend all over Facebook, but yet it’s a national newspaper. The whole thing was intense. I was away in Australia, and Kelly was still messaging me. And I was so confused and torn and twisted at that time.”
Tragically, Kelly and Scotsman Thom, 38, who is now engaged to Nicole Scherzinger, suffered a miscarriage in April 2011. It was after this that Kelly met Danny in Mauritius.
Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen destroyed by 'pay row and radio walk-out'He claims in the book: “When she loses the baby, we secretly meet up in Mauritius, while she’s still meant to be with Thom. I know deep down it’s wrong, but I’m convinced I want her back.”
Kelly and Thom eventually split up in January 2013. At the time she claimed there was no third party involved in the end of their relationship. She was dating Danny again from the following month.
After rekindling their romance, Danny decided that actually it isn’t what he wants. He told The Sun on Sunday: “Ultimately, when we got back together, I realised very quickly that it wasn’t what I wanted.
“When you love someone, when you’re with your soulmate, it’s difficult. It’s challenging. I didn’t have that type of relationship with Kelly. And it just wasn’t love . . . for me.”
More of Danny’s bad behaviour, including some appalling treatment of Kelly, who he describes as “hot and cold”, is revealed in the book. He writes that during one row she slapped him around the face after he told a stripper in a Las Vegas club he would dump Kelly and come back to the US to see her week.
He told the paper: “It all started because I was very p***ed. I was having a dance and it felt like she (the stripper) was doing a bit more than a dance. I started chatting some cheesy lyrics to her.”
Kelly overheard the dancer telling pals in the toilet what her client had just said to her, and she saw red. He remembers: “Kelly came out and slapped me around the face.” He claims that in her rage she was restrained by bouncers, and the drama of the situation caused him to consider self-harming with a piece of broken glass back at their hotel.
The couple eventually split for good after Kelly found out he had been sexting other women. He said: “She went through my phone and saw lots of messages she probably didn’t enjoy reading. She just caught me red-handed.”
Representatives for Kelly Brook have been approached for comment.
