John Terry 'seduced lonely Vanessa Perroncel after Wayne Bridge split'

London, Feb 8 (ANI): Vanessa Perroncel embarked on a passionate affair with John Terry after he comforted her over her split from Wayne Bridge, it has emerged.

Two of the French lingerie model's closest friends spilled the beans on the 33-year-old's affair with the former England captain.

Antonia Graham and Nadean Moses claimed it was Terry who seduced Perroncel, who was "sad and lonely" following her break-up from Bridge, his friend and England team-mate.

Terry, 29, phoned Perroncel last July offering to help help her get back with Bridge, 29, as the couple were in the midst of breaking up.

"Vanessa was sad and lonely. John was playing the caring friend," the Mirror quoted Graham as saying.

"He called Vanessa up. Vanessa told me, 'John is being the peacemaker. He said Wayne and I are great together'."

The cracks begun to show in Vanessa's relationship with Bridge after his 10-million-pound transfer to Manchester City from Chelsea last January.

After they broke up, she returned with their three-year-old son Jaydon to Oxshott, Surrey, where Terry and his wife Toni, 28, were neighbours.

Graham and Moses claim it was only two weeks later that the Chelsea skipper visited Perroncel to offer his support but their friendship soon turned into a passionate affair.

Mose said: "He would pop round a couple of times a week, offering a shoulder to cry on. He brought DVDs for her son."

Perroncel and Terry were always careful not to be seen outside the house together and Terry would carefully park his Bentley or Range Rover out of sight.

Graham and Moses hit back at accusations that Perroncel was a home-wrecker claiming she was heart-broken after her split from Bridge.
