We weren’t surprised to see John Terry looking so miserable when we spotted him leaving Stanford Bridge, even the beating he gave Arsenal winning 2-0 wasn’t enough to put a smile on the footballers face as he drove away whilst gabbing down the phone to who we assume must have the Samaritans.

After a meeting with England manager Fabio Capello to discuss the allegations that he had an affair with teammate Wayne Bridge’s former lover Vanessa Perroncel the decision was made to drop Terry as the England team captain and now it’s been revealed that the footballer has reportedly paid off at least four secret lovers in a bid to keep his scandals under wrap.

Apparently Mr Terry gave Vanessa Perroncel £750,000 to keep schtum and then instructed his team to approach a string of other girls with a similar offer. A source said:

"This has now all gone much deeper than an affair with a teammate's old girlfriend. It is all about Terry doing everything and anything to save his skin and reputation."

"He is going to astonishing lengths and spending huge sums. But whatever he does he can't prevent the truth from coming out. It is all unravelling."

Want a little more dirt? Well apparently John had a one night ‘thing’ with Big Brother 6 star Orlaith McAllister (Irish, blonde, big fake boobs) around Christmas time in 2005 just days after John proudly announced his wife was carrying his twins. Tut, tut, tut.
