She initially banned their daughter Peyton, almost two, to visit her dad – a £58 million signing from Monaco – if Melanie was around.

But she has since relented and has now revealed that Melanie sees so much of the toddler that she’s begun calling her Tata – or Aunty.

Samantha said in postings on Instagram: “It is true that when I first found out about the affair and Anthony left me, I was angry and shaded them on Snapchat.

“I won't apologise for that because I was hurt and angry and who wouldn't be?

“I have truly tried to turn the page since, even letting our daughter visit Anthony when she is there and my daughter calls her Tata.

“But Melanie and her friends still disrespect me on Snapchat and gave out my home address.

“She should leave me alone because I moved on and my life doesn't revolve around them.

“Melanie should focus on supporting Anthony and be nice to my daughter when she visits.”

She also stuck by two newspaper stories in the summer where she lifted the lid on the France striker's cheating ways, saying “Everything I said was true.”

Samantha, 23, blasted Melanie’s behaviour as 'disgusting'.

She said: “I asked her to stay away from him when we were having some problems and she agreed that she would.

“But she wasn’t true to her word.

“She claims it’s not just about sex with them — it’s love.

“I will never be friends with Melanie, her behaviour has been disgusting.

“She knew all about me and Peyton.

“Melanie knew Anthony as they grew up in the same area of Paris but she was never interested when he was just a teenager who was good at football.

“Now he has money and attention she is interested.”
