John Terry's sacking upsets 'mistress'

London, Feb 06 (ANI): Lingerie model Vanessa Perroncel has expressed sadness at the loss of English soccer star John Terry's captaincy because of an alleged affair with her.

The model, who is an ex-girlfriend of Terry's England team-mate Wayne Bridge, was disappointed when she learnt of the decision after Terry's 12-minute meeting with coach Fabio Capello.

She was spotted shaking her head and saying, 'Oh my God', at her publicist Max Clifford's West London office.

"Vanessa would also like to add that she finds it very sad that John Terry has been dropped as England captain," the Sun quoted Clifford as saying.

Earlier, Clifford said on her behalf: "In recent days I have been the centre of a great deal of press speculation and comment.

"I would like to put on record my thanks to Max Clifford for his advice and help at this difficult time. The details of my friendship with John and his family have been the subject of intense and wholly unfair and untrue media speculation.

"As Max has already said, much of the material in the press is inaccurate. I now find myself subject to other unsubstantiated and false claims which have appeared in the papers over the past few days.

"This has only added to the pressure which my family and I have been under. The media has sought to pore over my private life and that of my family, which is very upsetting.

"I have decided I do not want to speak publicly about the speculation since it only seems to add more fuel to the fire.

"I have a three-year-old son and he is my main concern. I do not believe speaking to newspapers or the media is in his interest or my own. I do not wish to add anything more to what I have said."

Perroncel has a three-year-old son, Jaydon, with Bridge. (ANI)
