Jermain Defoe poses with girlfriend Alisha on red carpet at Pride of Britain Awards – despite links to wedding planner
JERMAIN DEFOE and girlfriend Alisha LeMay impressed on the red carpet for the Pride of Britain Awards.
The former England striker looked elegant in a black suit as he posed alongside Alisha.
She matched her partner and looked classy in a black dress - but her relationship with Defoe has caused quite a stir.
That is because Defoe has been accused of cheating with Alisha by his ex-wife Donna Tierney.
Defoe, 41, split with Donna earlier this year - less than six months after their £200,000 OK! magazine wedding.
Donna accused Alisha, 31, of trying to “devalue” her by wearing a fake engagement ring.

That came after Defoe was linked to wedding planner Paige Bethany Mallabourn-Edmondson, 28.
Paige's mum told The Sun on Sunday that her daughter was in a "relationship" with the former Tottenham star.
But Defoe and Alisha were all smiles for the Pride of Britain Awards, which airs on Thursday.
The pair are believed to have moved into a £3million mansion earlier this year.
