John Terry’s lover Vanessa Perroncel had a fling with a second Premiership star – during her on-off affair with the England skipper. Her mystery man is a household name and is now terrified he will be the next to be exposed.
Vanessa, 33, is mulling over whether to accept an offer of £250,000 to tell the story of her affair with married Terry. Her spokesman said: “If she decides to, she’ll come out and say exactly what happened.”
Meanwhile, shamed Terry has been repeatedly phoning heartbroken wife Toni in a desperate effort to save his marriage.
Toni, 28, fled to their holiday home in Dubai at the weekend as news broke of her husband’s affair with Vanessa Perroncel, ex-girlfriend of his England team-mate and former best friend Wayne Bridge.
The source added: “Toni will take as much time as she likes to think things through. It is understandably a very difficult time but her main priority at the moment is their twins. They are her life and she wants to protect them foremost.
“She is still taking John’s calls. She thinks it’s important for them to still communicate with each other for the sake of the kids, however upsetting the whole situation is.”
Chelsea defender Terry is said to be ready to pay Vanessa £500,000 to buy her silence over their affair.
He fears any chance of a reconciliation with Toni will be wrecked if Vanessa, 33, decides to reveal all with a kiss-and-tell story.
She was yesterday said to be mulling over offers of up to £250,000 from various media outlets .
The insider said: “JT wants to fix things with Toni but he can’t afford a load of intimate stuff to come out in the wash. If Vanessa is all about the money, he’ll find the money.”
Vanessa’s spokesman Max Clifford said: “She has known John for a long time and obviously I think during that time they had become very close friends.
“Vanessa will decide what she wants to do, and she will then, if she decides to, come out and say exactly what has happened.
“You’ve only got to look at Tiger Woods. There was one, there was two, and then suddenly there were 12 or 13 who allegedly had relationships with him.” Terry, 29, who earns £170,000 a week, is said to be confident he can smooth things over with Toni, even though the fling with her former friend Vanessa is the latest in a string of infidelities.
