The lingerie model who had an affair with footballer John Terry has begged her former partner Wayne Bridge to take her back. Vanessa Perroncel, who had a four-month relationship with the sacked England captain, has made an astonishing plea to Bridge, the father of her three-year-old son. Manchester City star Bridge was a close friend of Terry, 29, until news of the affair broke last week.

Now Miss Perroncel has revealed she is still in love with Bridge from whom she split last summer and is hoping for a reconciliation for the sake of son Jaydon. She told friends: 'It would be amazing to have him back. I wish we never split. 'I know how painful it's been for me to read all the stories this week about all these men I'm supposed to have slept with so I can only imagine what it's been like for him.'

Close friend Antonia Graham, 29, said: 'Vanessa has never stopped loving Wayne but she doesn't know if he feels the same. When they split up in the summer it was because of a number of things, not some big bust-up. She was engaged to him and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, and nothing's changed. He is the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, not John. She just hopes it is not too late.'
Terry has allegedly paid Miss Perroncel £800,000 not to sell her story to the press.

It comes as fresh allegations emerged over the weekend about other women Terry has slept with. The Chelsea player was forced to make an emotional phone call to wife Toni - who has fled to Dubai - to deny having a one-night stand with former Big Brother contestant Orlaith McAllister. Miss McAllister - now a topless model - allegedly slept with Terry when Toni was pregnant with his twins, Summer Rose and Georgie John, now three. Terry called his wife in the early hours of Sunday morning to deny reports in one of the tabloids that he had bedded Belfast-born McAllister, 30, after meeting her at the Elysium nightclub in central London - the club where Vanessa Perroncel used to work.
