JESE RODRIGUEZ once paid more than £4,000 to eliminate his then ex-girlfriend from a reality TV show.
The former Real Madrid winger won the Champions League twice with the Spanish giants, playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, his life off the pitch has become far more newsworthy than his exploits as a footballer.
Back in 2018, Jese paid €5,000 to eliminate Aurah Ruiz from the Spanish version of Big Brother.
According to Sport Bible, he took revenge after their public break-up by texting in votes to remove her from the show.
Aurah was eventually the ninth contestant to be evicted.

Their high-profile split had seen the Spanish model take Jese to court and accuse him of neglecting his duty as a father.
In return, the ex-Spain under-21 star countersued her for slander and harassment.
The couple’s relationship did not end there, though, with a sex scandal in 2020 seeing him sacked by PSG.
Jese was the subject of claims he had cheated on Aurah with a model pal and had been caught in the act by his partner.

The pair later reconciled and tied the knot last summer after Jese popped the question earlier in 2022.
However, that was only after she was forced to deny rumours she ran him over.
His wild life has also included a pop career under the stage name Jey M and a spell with Stoke.
Jese joined the Potters on loan from PSG in 2017 but managed just one goal in 13 appearances.
The 30-year-old is currently without a club after leaving Sampdoria earlier this summer.
