Once the girlfriend of Chelsea star Wayne Bridge, French lingerie model Vanessa Perroncel found herself at the centre of the glitzy WAG scene. But this all came to a crashing halt in 2009 when it was alleged she'd had an affair with Wayne's England teammate John Terry, with the fallout sending shockwaves through the world of sport.

While Vanessa denied the claims, she split from Wayne shortly afterwards and soon retreated from the limelight, keeping a low-profile while they continued to co-parent their son Jaydon, now 18. Yet this week, nearly two decades on from the scandal, Vanessa found herself at the forefront again after rapper KSI used a press conference to mock Wayne with taunts about the affair, crudely jibing: 'Aren't you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex?'.

Wayne, who had been due to take part in a boxing match with KSI, abruptly pulled out of the scheduled clash, saying that KSI had 'crossed a line' and that his 'priority' was 'protecting the other families involved' in the scandal. Vanessa has not commented on the scandal outright, yet shared a cryptic post on Instagram in the aftermath that read: 'The smallest minds often come with the biggest mouths.'.
