Mario Balotelli 'bedded Wayne Rooney's cousin'

London, Apr 14 (ANI): Mario Balotelli not only scored with Wayne Rooney's hooker Jenny Thompson, he also had an affair with his rival's cousin.

The Manchester City star was so smitten with glamour model Holly Henderson that he asked to marry her.

Balotelli chased the blonde - second cousin of Rooney - for months after falling for her in a nightclub.

Henderson said it was "weird" the women Balotelli cheated with were linked to arch rival Rooney.

"It's all a bit odd. I am Wayne's second cousin though I don't know if Mario is aware of it," she told the Daily Star.

"I know Jenny. I know what went on between her and Wayne, but I don't judge," she said/

After they shared kinky phone sex, Balotelli, 21, begged her to give up her career as a lingerie model.

The jealous footballer even turned up on the set of Channel 4 food show Celebrity Come Dine With Me in which Henderson, 33, was appearing - after she told him they would be filming her in a hot tub with a male dinner guest.

Henderson claimed that the T-shirt messages Balotelli flashes when he scores were directed at her, including the famous: "Why always me?"

But their relationship ended after they were pictured together in Manchester and Balotelli confessed he had a girlfriend, Italian model Raffaella Fico, 23.

Two months later the footballer had a fling with escort Jennifer Thompson, 23, who Rooney paid for sex seven times while his wife Coleen was pregnant in 2009. (ANI)
