      She says she did not feel “comfortable” and chose not to “entertain” the advances before allegedly receiving a message from Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom threatening to “destroy” her.
      In an explosive post on Instagram earlier this week, Ms Mann, a single mum, told her 19,000 followers: “I first met Amir Khan in 2016 whilst I was hosting Arijit Singh in Manchester!
      “A couple of days after the concert, I started receiving WhatsApp messages from an unknown number, with someone claiming to be Amir Khan!
      “I immediately had to ask, actor or boxer? Unfortunately it was the latter!

      “On a more serious note, these messages continued and then I started to receive calls and voicemails from Amir Khan himself.
      “Now I’ve been in this industry too long to not know when someone is flirting and making sexual advances.

      “This was not something I felt comfortable with and I chose to not entertain it, but remained professional.”

      Ms Mann, who presented the Official Asian Music Chart Show, claims it was then that Khan’s wife launched a tirade of “vile, abusive and uncalled for” attacks.
      The former presenter claimed: “It was apparent she had gotten hold of his phone and seen all the messages he had been sending me.
      “She then proceeded to message me pretending to be him, which was immediately obvious because she appeared to have (at the time), a few more brain cells than him.”
      Ms Mann went on to claim women have “fallen for his lies” – either “reciprocated his advances or… actively pursued relationships”.
      And she accused the pair of going “out of their way” to “abuse, blackmail, insult and threaten women”.
      The presenter said she chose to call Khan and his wife out because “enough is enough”.
      The Sun has approached Amir Khan’s and his wife Faryal Makhdoom’s representatives for comment.
      It comes as we revealed Khan begged a model to send him revealing pictures and tried to meet up with her in the run-up to his 10th wedding anniversary.
      He told influencer Sumaira, 25, “U look good on g string” and suggested she had a “boob job”.
      Khan and wife Faryal, 31, have reportedly split following the sexting scandal – spending time between homes in Britain and Dubai.

      A source close to the Khan family told MailOnline: “Faryal is taking time to think about whether or not to walk away.
      “She’s going through a very difficult time and choosing to focus on her children while she and Amir continue to co-parent.”

      That’s all from the Sydney Football Stadium
      England have almost confirmed their spot in the knockout stages with a 1-0 win over Denmark.
      The Lionesses will now have to wait for this afternoon’s match between China and Haiti to conclude before they find out where they stand in Group D.
      It wasn’t England’s best performance, but they showed glimpses of excellence during the first half before a devastating injury to Keira Walsh killed all momentum.
      Nevertheless, the Lionesses are still undefeated in this year’s tournament and they are yet to concede a goal.
      The race for the World Cup is still well and truly alive.

      Speaking to BBC Sport, Day said: “It’s not nice to see anyone go off injured but Keira is Keira and she is an integral part of the team.
      “I am really really hoping with everything that it isn’t anything too serious. She is a special player an special person.

      Worry for Walsh
      Keira Walsh was spotted on crutches and with her right knee in a brace during the second half.
      England lost all momentum after the midfielder was forced off shortly before half time.
      Walsh will now likely miss the rest of the tournament with what could potentially be an ACL injury.
      Her absence will be a devastating blow for the Lionesses.
      Walsh is irreplaceable in the England squad, so Wiegman may have to switch the structure of the team around to compensate for her absence.

      Sarina Wiegman reacts
      Speaking to BBC Sport, the England manager said: “We started well, we played well and scored the goal and then we had a little stage in the first half [where] we lost balls we didn’t have to lose.
      “Then we had the horrible moment with Keira. Second half was a fight and the team showed we adapted to the new situation and we had to fight to win. I am very proud of the team.”
      On James’ goal, she added: “For me it doesn’t matter who scores the goals. They played well, they started well and yes, LJ scored a beautiful goal.”
      Lauren James reacts
      Speaking to BBC Sport, the England winger said: “Yeah definitely [it was a great feeling to score]. It was a dream and something I’ve been thinking about but most importantly I’m happy to help us win.
      “I kind of had a thought and then as soon as it hit the net it was just relief.”
      “They [teammates] were just really happy for me and they said it before the game they had a good feeling about me. I am happy to have good people around me.”
      “I am calm all around the pitch. I am happy to bring that on the pitch.”

      Full Time – England 1-0 Denmark
      Lauren James’ world-class early strike was overshadowed by the devastating injury to Keira Walsh.
      Walsh has played more minutes for England than anyone else since Euro 2022, meaning she is one of the most important players in the heart of the team.
      The Lionesses fell flat after the midfielder went off, and their intensity dropped significantly which allowed Denmark to get back into the game.

      We’re back underway!
      The Lionesses are just 45 minutes away from potentially booking their spot in the knockout stages!
      Half Time – England 1-0 Denmark
      England have vastly improved performance-wise compared to last week’s opening match against Haiti.
      The Lionesses are so much more defensively solid both on and off the ball and they are offering so much more going forward.
      They just need to make the most of their chances now.
