Danny Cipriani’s ex claims his magic mushroom-fuelled ‘psychotic’ breaks meant she couldn’t tell him she’d miscarried

DANNY Cipriani's ex Victoria Rose has shared a shocking account of the rugby player's alleged drug use that she claims led to the end of their marriage. The brunette mum-of-two is currently in the midst of divorcing the sportsman, who she first met in January 2020 after connecting on social media. And asked to describe Danny in an interview with the Mail, she said: "Gentlemanly, chivalrous, considerate and kind… but also completely psychotic, delusional and in a high state of paranoia when he'd eaten a lot of magic mushrooms.".

During their first date, Victoria says she noticed Danny "necking pills from a bottle" - with the now 37-year-old blaming the Xanax usage on a "knee injury". She also says he took more pills just two hours later - but being their first meeting, she didn't realise what a "red flag" it would turn out to be. Less than two months after meeting Danny for the first time, Victoria found out she was pregnant.

Shortly after discovering she was pregnant, Victoria says Danny wanted to "purge himself" and "wipe the slate clean" - so gave her his phone and password... saying "this is me". When she looked through the device, Victoria realised the extent of Danny's sexual appetite - and adds "You wouldn't believe the women he'd slept with". She claims he told her he would have sex with up to three women a day at one point, among them "A-list celebrities and actresses".

"It should have been another red flag to me but he told me he was a changed person; that he'd work hard to be a proper family man," she sighs. But despite Danny's pledge, he was apparently unable to kick his drug habit, which led to magic mushroom-fuelled episodes which happened up to four times a year. One such episode happened soon after Victoria had found out she was pregnant, with Danny thinking she "was the Devil".

"He ran down the street naked, hit his hip on a passing car, just jumped up again – his resilience was insane – and I managed to coax him into the house before he ran outside again, launching himself backwards down a flight of stone steps in the garden and smashing his head so hard on the ground I thought he was dead," she recalls. He was taken to The Priory to recover from the overdose. Later that week, Victoria - who was 23 weeks pregnant at the time - sadly miscarried their son, who they called River.

But due to still being "psychotic" at the time, she was told not to break the news of the miscarriage to Danny, as he "wouldn't even have understood". Instead, when she told him - when he was still on anti-psychotic medication - she says he was "heartbroken" and "broke down in floods of tears". It was when the pair returned to his home after the miscarriage that his drug use got worse, she says, claiming he used to get packages of what appeared to be chocolate delivered to the door of his home in Gloucestershire.

Monica Irimia (2007) - Danny began dating Cheeky Girl star Monica in 2007. However their relationship was short lived, as it was claimed that he cheated on the singer with glamour model Larissa Summers. Kelly Brook (2008 to 2010) - Kelly was one of Danny's longest and most high-profile relationships. The model and actress reportedly broke up with Danny when she caught him giving his phone number to a Las Vegas stripper.

Lindsay Lohan (2010) - Danny started dating former Disney star and Freaky Friday actress Lindsay Lohan in 2010. However, their relationship was very short-lived and they split after just a few dates. Katie Price (2011) - Danny’s relationship with Katie began in 2011 and ended that same year in a bitter feud. Lara Bingle (2011) - Danny started dating Australian model Lara Bingle after his split with Katie Price. Lara told Who Magazine that she had “fallen in love with Danny”, just weeks before he dumped her.

Jasmine Waltz (2014 to 2015) - Jasmine and Danny began to grow close in 2010, after he split with Kelly. However, their relationship started properly in 2014. They split just a year later. Kirsty Gallacher (2015 to 2016) - Sports presenter Kirsty dated Danny for six months between 2015 and 2016. However, their relationship broke down because of their “12 year age gap". Victoria Rose (2020 to 2023) - Victoria became the first woman to marry Danny when they tied the knot on April 27, 2022. The pair met in 2020 and got engaged after just a year. In November 2023, Danny confirmed that he had split up from his wife.

AnnaLynne McCord (2024 to 2025) - Actress AnnaLynne McCord reportedly met Danny on Raya, months after he split from Victoria Rose. Danny described AnnaLynne as his “miracle” after making their relationship public. However, the couple eventually went their separate ways in 2025. But the chocolate, which was even packaged in Cadbury's wrappers, was actually laced with the hallucinogenic drug psilocybin – also known as magic mushrooms.
