Rugby star Danny Cipriani claimed in his explosive autobiography that Kelly Brook cheated on boyfriend Thom Evans after she went on a secret romantic holiday with him.
In his new book the England star, 35, said he was “devastated” over the relationship between his ex and his former Wasps teammate, 38, and allegedly set out to meet up with her behind his pal’s back.
The sporting legend dated the Page 3 star, now 43, between 2008 and 2010, with the brunette beauty later finding love again in the arms of his friend just a few months later.

Now the hunk has told The Sun on Sunday how he felt it was “fair game” to have an alleged affair with the model.

Ahead of the book’s release, he sat down with the publication for a frank interview and claimed the pair secretly got together in Mauritius while Kelly was still dating Thom – even though he knew “deep down it’s wrong.”
He told the publication: “I felt like it was fair game… I felt like what was mine wasn’t mine anymore. We secretly meet up in Mauritius, while she’s meant to be with Thom.”
“Ultimately, when we got back together, I realised very quickly that it wasn’t what I wanted. When you love someone, when you’re with your soulmate, it’s difficult. It’s challenging.

“I didn’t have that type of relationship with Kelly. And it just wasn’t love… for me,” he explained.
Daily Star has reached out to Kelly Brook’s representatives for a comment.
In November 2010, Danny watched Kelly and Thom’s romance blossom from Australia, where he was working after signing for the Melbourne Rebels, and he’s now admitted he was full of jealousy and was determined to win her back.

In his book, he wrote: “It was definitely a difficult scenario – it’s like seeing your mate and your ex-girlfriend all over Facebook, but yet it’s a national newspaper. The whole thing was intense.
“I was away in Australia, and Kelly was still messaging me. And I was so confused and torn and twisted at that time.”

When Tom and Kelly announced their pregnancy back in March 2011, Danny admitted he was “devastated”.
But the pair unfortunately lost the baby later that year, which sparked Danny to reunite with a heartbroken Kelly in Mauritius.
When the news of their alleged affair came to light in January 2013, Kelly denied speculation that Danny was involved.

She said at the time: “Thom and I mutually agreed to go out separate ways some time ago. It had absolutely nothing to do with a third party.”
A month later, she was back out in public with Danny and even labelled him her “boyfriend” again by April.
But their romance was short-lived after she found a series of messages from scores of other women on his phone.
Since then, all three have found love with other people, with Kelly tying the knot to long-time boyfriend Jeremy Parisi in 2022, Thom Evans engaged to Nicole Scherzinger and Danny now married to his wife Victoria Rose.
