THE Premier League footballer who cheated on his wife with model Imogen Thomas was last night petrified he will be named.
He won a gagging order last week banning details of his seven-month sexual relationship with the stunning former Big Brother contestant becoming public. But the player – who has an image as a family man – fears his identity could be exposed if the injunction is successfully challenged at a High Court hearing on Wednesday.
A source close to the star said: “He is terrified his name will be revealed and is worried about the impact this would have on his marriage and family.”Distraught Imogen, 28, told how she had begged him to use his influence to suppress the story when news of the romance leaked.
But she was shocked to be served with a legal ban threatening jail if she ever revealed his identity.
In an interview with our sister paper the Sunday Mirror she said: “One minute we were madly in love, the next I was being hit with an injunction, being made to feel like some sort of criminal – his lawyers were very cold with me. I’ve been crying for days.
“These injunctions only seem to exist to look after high-profile people. I know what I did was wrong but he’s the one with a wife and children – he’s the cheater. Now my life is in pieces.“I can’t stop crying but I don’t suppose he is because he is protected by the law.
“I’ve been branded a home wrecker and a whore. But he hasn’t lost anything.”
Imogen also revealed how the footballer promised her last week: “I’ll look after you.” But she has not heard from him since.
She said: “When I heard he was going to abandon me and let my name come out, that was when I felt hurt and betrayed.” Imogen told how she met the love rat in a populr London club last year.She said: “I knew he was married but I was caught up in the moment. The first thing I said to him afterwards was ‘that’s it, you’re a married man, let’s leave it there’.”Yet the Premier League star continued to chase her and Imogen said: “I called it off a million times but he kept coming back.”
