Big scandal in UK's world of soccer. Chelsea star and England's captain John Terry was today exposed as a love cheat who had an affair with a team-mate's girlfriend. The married Terry, who has three-year-old twins with wife Toni, had a secret affair with Wayne Bridge's then partner Vanessa Perroncel.
The media was previously prevented from reporting details of the affair after Terry's lawyers were granted a "super injunction" at the High Court in London last Friday, claiming exposing his infidelity would breach his right to a "private and family life". But today Mr Justice Tugendhat dramatically lifted the order allowing the media to report the story.
Bridge, 29, and French underwear model and actress Vanessa had their first child Jaydon in November 2006. They are reported to have split at Christmas.
Chelsea's team manager Fabio Capello will now face pressure to strip Terry of his captaincy following the revelations.
