Bridge infamously refused to shake Terry’s hand prior to a clash between Chelsea and Manchester City, despite lingerie model Vanessa always denying the allegations.
Bridge and Vanessa dated for four years after first meeting in 2005, and share a son.
The Terry rumours surfaced soon after they split in 2009; friends claimed he had seduced Vanessa as he comforted her over the break-up.
In January 2010 she became the subject of a super-injunction imposed by a High Court judge which prevented the press reporting the allegations – but it was lifted a week later.

Ranked World Number One at the time, dozens of women came forward alleging they had sexual relationships with the-then married golfer.
Former madam Michelle Braun alleged that “every couple of months he requested to have multiple girls”.
“It could be up to 10 girls at a time,” she claimed. “He had a particular type, he liked young college cutie, girl next door types, preferably blonde.”
Former stripper Jamie Jungers claimed she had an 18-month affair with the golfer – rumoured to have slept with more than 120 women.
Woods’ wife and mother of his two kids, Elin Nordegren, divorced him for a whopping $100million, according to reports.

At the same time it emerged he was also having a fling with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas.
Giggs took out a gagging order but was named as the footballer in question in May 2011 by a Scottish newspaper.
After he was named, Imogen said: “I called it off a million times but he kept coming back. He knew it was wrong as well, he said as much, but he was pursuing me.”
Ryan settled his £40million divorce from wife Stacey in 2017.

Yankees players Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich famously traded partners in 1972 – and caused one of baseball’s biggest romance scandals in the process.
It’s said Peterson became drawn to former cheerleader Susanne Kekich, while quieter Kekich became close to Marilyn Peterson.
Kekich, then 27, said at the time: “Don’t say this was wife-swapping, because it wasn’t. We didn’t swap wives, we swapped lives.”

It was especially bad timing for footie star Andy Carroll when photos emerged of him passed out in bed with a blonde after a day of partying — just two weeks before his wedding to reality TV’s Billi Mucklow.
The ex-England striker, 33, partied with Taylor Jane Wilkey after flying to Dubai to gatecrash his fiancée’s hen party and had gone on a 17-hour drinking session.
But both parties denied anything untoward had taken place, with Taylor, 27, telling The Sun: “It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun.”
Thankfully Andy and Billi’s wedding still went ahead, and the pair are still happily married today.

He’s been with childhood sweetheat Coleen since they were 16, but there have been many reports surrounding Wayne Rooney over the years.
In 2004 the Sunday Mirror reported that teenage Rooney had paid £140 for sex with prostitute Charlotte Glover, then 21.
Around the same time he was said to have slept with Gina McCarrick, then 37, at a £45 brothel in Liverpool.
It was at this same brothel that he was said to have slept with grandmother Patricia Tierney, then 48, known as the ‘Auld Slapper’.
Rooney went on to cheat again, sleeping with £1,000-a-night prostitute Jenny Thompson, then 21, in July 2009 along with Helen Wood – while Coleen was pregnant with his son Kai.
But Coleen has forgiven him and the couple are still going strong.

A few months later American site Gawker, which has since folded, published a small snippet of the tape online.
Hogan filed a lawsuit against Heather and Bubba for invasion of privacy, winning a settlement.
Linda Hogan, who split from her husband in 2007 – the same year the sex tape filmed – later slammed the film as “sickening”.
“I knew something was going on behind my back, I just didn’t know it was so close to home,” she told Radar.
