Top Premier League footie ace ‘pays off transgender glamour model after two year affair’
The married footballer has accused his ex-lover of extortion and harassment as she vows to lift the lid on their fling
A MARRIED Premier League footballer has been accused of having an affair with a transgender glamour model who he allegedly paid off when she threatened to expose their two-year fling.
The footie ace, who also plays for his national side, embarked on a secret love affair with the curvy blonde behind his wife's back - even travelling as far as North America and South America to meet up.
But things turned sour when he accused her of extortion and harassment after she threatened to tell-all about his relationship with a transgender.
Sources say he is desperate to keep the affair under wraps to avoid being "ridiculed" by his teammates, reports the .
His legal advisers have encouraged his ex-lover to sign a non-disclosure agreement and offered her £7,500 to keep quiet.
But she claims to have only been given half of her payout - and now aims to profit from the affair by boosting her own image.
Friends of the woman say she believes the footballer had fallen for her.
She says she was always open about being transgender.
It's the latest in a long list of celebrities who have tried to cover up their indiscretions by taking out an injunction to gag the media.
The A-list couple behind a threesome gagging order against The Sun on Sunday can still not be named after Supreme Court judges upheld the ruling.
They have already been named in China, America, Spain and even Scotland - leaving almost two billion people worldwide free to read who the couple are.
But Britain’s most senior judges at the highest court in the land decided to keep the details of the case secret – despite acknowledging “the story has been accessible on the internet and social media”.
