    The Sun on Sunday revealed Khan had demanded “no holds bar” sex from the woman earlier this year before the fling escalated.
    It’s understood Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom, 32, found out about the betrayal before calling the woman, who wants to remain anonymous, and threatened to out her.
    A source said Faryal is now deciding “whether or not to walk away from the marriage”.
    And last night, Khan was spotted on TV without his wedding ring.
    READ MORE ON KHAN
    He appeared on TNT Sports ahead of the Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr fight.
    Khan sat on the panel of presenters and also discussed a potential return to the sport – ignoring the recent bombshell.
    In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, the woman involved in the sex scandal said that Khan told her his marriage was “on the rocks”.
    Khan had messaged the woman on Instagram in February after she viewed his profile.

    She said: “I got a notification that I had a message from Amir Khan. I was shocked and, at first, thought it was a joke but he asked me for my number and then started messaging me on WhatsApp.
    “He was intense straight away and spoke about his marriage problems. I thought he was very confident.”
    In one text, Khan said: “Things were a little tough [at the moment] with what we going through.”
    The woman said: “He then rang me and told me he was in an unhappy marriage — and it was more of a business arrangement.”
    The next day, Khan sent a number of selfies from a Pakistan work trip and asked her to send him some “naughty pictures”.
    He wrote: “I need to let me have u for a day locked up with me. Make it dirty n naughty. No holds bar. Everything goes. U know it’s been 4 months for me. No sex.”
    A fortnight later, the couple met up at a ­restaurant in Wembley, North West London, where Khan was hanging out with pals.
    She said: “I went to meet him for the first time and he was with friends.
    “We just chatted and it seemed normal to them he was meeting a woman that wasn’t his wife, which I found surprising.
    “Nothing happened but then the next day he asked me to drive to visit him in Manchester.”
    On March 7, the woman travelled from London to a plush hotel in Manchester where she checked in under the company name “Khan Operations”.
    She said: “It was quite brazen that I was checking in under his name.
    “We went out to dinner and then he had to go back to his friend’s house to FaceTime Faryal so she would think he was staying there while I waited at the hotel. We had a night of passion.”
    The following week, the woman claims Khan begged her to visit him at a hotel in London, where he was staying during a trial after he was robbed of his £72,000 watch in April 2022.
    She said: “He messaged me, pleading me to get to his hotel room at 3am. I ended up driving there later and stayed four hours.”
    She added: “Things started to get serious. He’d message he loved me and even asked me to be his girlfriend.”
    Just days later, Khan messaged: “Me and my wife are having big problems. On camera looks okay . . . I’m done.”
    But in May, he turned on a Whats-App function which means texts are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
    She said: “I asked him to turn it off as I felt insulted — like I was his dirty little secret.
    “He told me over the phone he’d been kicked out as Faryal had caught him cheating but he said it was an old video on his phone.”
    She and Khan met up one more time before the relationship swiftly ended.
    SEX SCANDAL
    On June 5, the woman claims she received a phone call from him to warn her that his wife had found her number on his phone and blocked her.
    She said: “He was flying back to Dubai without her and said he’d call me when he got there.”
    The woman then received a second call at midnight — but this time from Faryal, adding: “She said she wanted to know what was going on and Amir had told her I was a fan who was harassing him.
    “I put the phone down on her and she sent me a text message.”
    Faryal’s text to the woman, seen by The Sun on Sunday, read: “I know you’re a very bad liar and I can see right through your bs.
    “So next time stop stuttering and get your story straight.
    “Trying to protect a man who blocked you and doesn’t rate you. I have recorded the whole call and have proof of your harassment.
    “I don’t want to name and shame you . . . if I was you I wouldn’t even attempt to contact him.”
    The woman said: “I was in shock. There was no harassment as proven by the messages. I wasn’t allowed to contact Amir first.”
    On June 8, Khan sent a text saying: “She’s back today. I will message you soon.” The woman said: “He then went to the Maldives and I didn’t hear from him.
    “On June 15, I got a missed voice call and a voice note saying he’d call me when he can and a few days later he changed his number.”
    She added: “It made me feel like s***. He got what he wanted and then just dropped me.
    “I always knew he was married. It’s not about that. It’s the lack of respect and the sudden shift in behaviour. Faryal’s message was horrible too. It scared me.
    “I then found out that he had been sexting other women at the same time he was having sex with me — which I find vile.”
    The couple are now splitting their time between their homes in Dubai and the UK.
    Khan recently jetted back to London alone as he shared snaps onboard an Emirates flight.

    He was left without a team at the beginning of this season and was a reserve driver for Red Bull Racing.
    But after a disappointing beginning to the season for Dutch driver Nick De Vries, Red Bull moved to remove the driver from AlphaTauri Racing.
    Ricciardo was then bumped up from reserve driver at Red Bull into De Vries’ place at Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri.

    The Australian was interviewed by podcaster Dax Shepard on The Armchair Expert podcast.
    Shepard was keen to find out whether it was still common practice for athletes to refrain from sex before events to which Ricciardo said: “I used to, but not any more.
    “I went against my rules obviously once and I was probably even better on Sunday so it’s all good. I threw that one out a few years ago.”
    Ricciardo has dated Berger since 2019 and has admitted to being loved up with the aspiring actress in a podcast interview last year.

    I’ve been accused of injuring my Wimbledon boyfriend by having too much SEX… it happened with my Barcelona star ex too

    TV PRESENTER Melissa Satta has hit out at online trolls after they accused her of distracting Wimbledon star Matteo Berrettini. The 37-year-old has said she has had enough of strangers online criticising her for the tennis ace’s injury struggles.

    Berrettini, 27, has reached the Round of 16 in SW19 after missing the Italian and Madrid Open’s with a persistent muscle tear issue.
    But it is Satta who has found herself coming under fire from fans.
    It is all too familiar territory for the TV host who found herself accused of having “too much sex” with ex-husband Kevin-Prince Boateng and triggering his injury problems.
    She went public with her new relationship with Berrettini at the beginning of the year but has faced a strange backlash from fans.

    Satta told Vanity Fair: “It was something that had been going on for months, when our story became known in January.
    “[They say] ‘Berrettini doesn’t win because Satta is distracting him, she’s too demanding’… But I held back.”
    Satta unleashed an epic social media rant last month where she raged against the “bullying and sexism” she had been subjected to.
    Berrettini has also hit back against the claims.

    Satta added of her experiences: “[This has happened before] with my ex-husband [Boateng] who suffered from pubalgia. 
    “Even there they attacked me saying that we had too much sex and that was the cause of his physical problems.
    “[The injury Berrettini has] is an injury in the same place as the one in 2021, when I didn’t know him. But in any case – do I really have to answer to these people?”
    Boateng is still playing at the age of 36 for German club Hertha Berlin.
    He has previously played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Barcelona, Dortmund and AC Milan.
    The former Ghana international also appeared in the Premier League for Tottenham and Portsmouth earlier in his career.
    In 2012 Melissa said: “The reason Kevin is injured so often is because we have sex seven to 10 times a week.
    “I hate foreplay, I want to go straight for it. I prefer to be on top so that I can be in control.”
    Meanwhile, Berrettini is hunting for his first Grand Slam win after losing the 2021 Wimbledon final to Novak Djokovic – who remains on course for a record-equalling eighth title.

    The five were stopped by the Uruguayan cops during a routine check on one of the men, aged 29, on June 24.
    Officers found that his two suitcases had hidden compartments containing six slabs of a white, powdery substance with a total weight of 14lbs.
    The police then pulled aside the rest of his group – three women, aged 26, 27, and 36, and a 35-year-old man.
    One of the women has been identified as former porn actress and model Mia Etcheverria, 27, who was once in a relationship with retired footballer Richard Morales.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    Morales, 48, made 27 appearances for Uruguay between 2001 and 2005 and played for Osasuna and Malaga during his senior club career.
    The five suspects have been hit with charges related to “attempted drug exportation”.
    Four, including Mia, are currently in custody as the police search for a sixth person in relation to the case.
    Mia’s lawyer, Pablo Casas, is claiming that his client “was unaware of the contents of the suitcases”.
    Most read in Football
    He told local media: “The conclusions that she collaborated, that she was aware of the contents, and that she simply passed those suitcases are incorrect.”
    Mia – real name Camila Navarro – from Las Piedras, was one of the main stars on Uruguayan adult channel Divas TV.
    She has two daughters with Morales, who, following her arrest, has said he will pay her legal fees.
    He said in a statement: “Nowadays, more than ever, my only priority is my daughters and their well-being, and I will protect them from any media exposure related to this issue.”
    The Ministry of the Interior of Uruguay said in a statement: “In the morning hours of Saturday, 24th June, personnel from the Carrasco International Airport Delegation, belonging to the General Directorate for the Repression of Illicit Drug Trafficking (DGRTID), were conducting checks in the check-in area of a flight bound for Madrid when they detected a passenger with a possible risk profile.
    “After verifying his itinerary, a routine inspection of his luggage was requested, which the passenger authorised. He was escorted to the inspection room while the three women travelling with him remained in the check-in area”.
    They revealed that the passenger was identified as a 29-year-old Uruguayan citizen whose luggage contained the six slabs of cocaine.
    “Furthermore, two vehicles used for the transportation of all these individuals were identified, and £770 and four mobile phones were seized from them”.
    The individual who officials believed was the organiser of the illegal activity was identified and an arrest warrant was requested.
    “The Justice system initiated a formal investigation regarding the passenger who had the slabs in his suitcase “for his alleged involvement in an offence stipulated in Article 31 of Decree Law 14, 294, in the form of attempted drug exportation”, the statement read.
    Two of the women and the second man identified at the airport were charged “for their alleged involvement in an offence stipulated in Article 31 of Decree Law 14, 294, in the form of attempted drug exportation as co-perpetrators”.
    And the third woman was reportedly charged “for her alleged involvement in an offence stipulated in Article 31 of Decree Law 14,294, in the form of attempted drug exportation as an accomplice”.

    For the first four individuals, pretrial detention was ordered, while the last woman was placed under total house arrest with an electronic monitoring device, all for a period of 90 days.
    The investigation is ongoing.

    Argentina World Cup star Claudio Caniggia accused of sexually assaulting his ex-wife

    EX-RANGERS star Claudio Caniggia has been prosecuted for “aggravated sexual abuse” following accusations made by his ex-wife.Former partner, Mariana Nannis, accused the Argentina striker of “beating and threatening to kill her” in a hotel room in 2018.

    Caniggia, 56, was prosecuted on Monday without pretrial detention, Argentine newspaper Clarín reports.
    Authorities established that Caniggia “should refrain from maintaining any kind of contact with the complainant, Mariana Belén Solange Nannis Silles, be it in person, telephone, text messages, social networks, emails or WhatsApp, instant messengers or an intermediary person.”
    He will also have to “inform and prove, more than five business days in advance, when he will leave the national territory of the Argentine Republic, expressly indicating the destination to which he will go and the time that he will remain present in foreign territory.”
    Authorities have also issued an embargo on the footballer’s assets for £15,400 – or five million Argentine pesos.

    It was established that this amount must be deposited in the country’s public bank, Banco Ciudad, “at the disposal of this judicial headquarters within the term of three days of notification of this order.”
    Caniggia was married to Mariana for 31 years, and they have three children together.
    The couple split in 2019 after he got together with model Sofia Bonelli – who he wed that year.
    Mariana filed her complaint to the prosecutor’s office of Dr Carlos Velarde in February 2020.
    Most read in Football
    After months of investigation, it was determined that the alleged crime happened in the early hours of May 5, 2018, after the couple left a wedding party in Buenos Aires and headed to Residencias del Hotel Faena, also in the Argentine capital.
    According to the file, Caniggia tried to have sexual relations with his then wife, but when she refused, he threatened to kill her, Clarin reported.
    He then “failed to punch her in the face as she covered herself with her hands, but then hit her in the arms and hands,” according to Mariana’s account, who claimed that she was sexually abused after the assault.
    The ex-wife’s complaint also mentioned that Caniggia’s alleged violence “affected her and the couple’s children, as well as some aspects of family privacy.”
    In March last year, the World Cup star appeared in court after being accused of rape.
    However, Judge Pablo Ormaechea ruled that there was not enough evidence to make a decision, and had asked the prosecution to continue investigating.
    The player is now no longer being accused of rape, but instead, he is being prosecuted for aggravated sexual abuse.
    In Argentine law, both aggravated sexual abuse and rape are serious offences, but they are defined and treated differently.
    Aggravated sexual abuse refers to any sexual act without consent, involving violence, threats, or abuse of authority.
    It can also include situations where the victim is unable to give consent due to factors such as age or disability.
    On the other hand, rape, known as “abuso sexual con acceso carnal” in Argentina, specifically involves non-consensual sexual intercourse or penetration.
    It typically carries more severe penalties compared to aggravated sexual abuse.
    Caniggia helped the Rangers win an SPL title, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups after a 2001 move from Dundee.
    He scored seven goals in 21 Dundee appearances following his 2000 arrival from Atalanta.

    Watford FC physio Phil Edwards ‘carried out horrifying sex attacks on 29 teen boys at club’, report claims

    A WATFORD FC physio sexually abused 29 teenage boys while working at the club, a report has found.The Championship side investigated allegations against Phil Edwards, who is thought to have killed himself in 2019 while facing claims he had assaulted a boy.

    It has now been revealed that as many as 29 potential victims were contacted by Watford, as well as six members of staff.
    The inquiry heard how Edwards was known to some at the Hertfordshire club as “Paedo Phil” and “Feel me up Phil”.
    Some 18 of the survivors provided signed accounts of their alleged abuse by Edwards when they were aged between 13 and 15.
    Edwards was arrested in June 2019 on suspicion of sexual activity with a child at his Woodside physiotherapy clinic in Watford.
    Read More On Football Abuse Scandal
    A fortnight later the 60-year-old was found dead at the home where he lived alone, with police suggesting he killed himself.
    Another 18 police complaints were filed against him for alleged child sexual offences between 1998 and 2019.
    Edwards is believed to have abused players at Watford’s Vicarage Road ground as well as his private clinic and his home in the 1980s and 1990s.
    The details have been revealed in a newly-published addition to Clive Sheldon KC’s independent report into child sexual abuse in football.
    Most read in Football

    The inquiry found English football did not do enough to protect children from predatory coaches from 1970 to 2005, cataloguing failings by eight clubs – including Chelsea and Manchester City – to act on concerns.
    Watford has now apologised to all victims they contacted, today’s addendum to the report says.
    Survivors told of Edwards carrying out unnecessary groin examinations, ordering them to strip naked and squat before he lay alongside them, given boys alcohol and showed them pornography, as well as encouraging them to “perform sexual acts”.
    Some also described how “Edwards appeared to enjoy inflicting pain on them and laughed or shouted at them if they cried”.
    Watford said they could find no payroll record nor personnel file to “show that Edwards was ever employed” by them, though acknowledged he provided physiotherapy services there and held “a position of influence and access within the club”.
    They also said the former members of staff they contacted “all denied any knowledge of the alleged abuse by Edwards”.
    One survivor alleged that club legend and former England manager Graham Taylor was told of the accusations against Edwards while he was Watford boss but “nothing was done”.
    Two members of staff who allegedly witnessed the conversation have denied doing so and Mr Sheldon accepted Watford’s insistence there was “no corroborating evidence to support that any staff member knew that the alleged abuse by Edwards was taking place”.
    He also highlighted the importance of Taylor, who died aged 72 in January 2017, being unable to contribute to the investigation.
    Lawyers representing the club reached out-of-court settlements in January with five former youth team players who said Edwards sexually abused them.
    In a statement, Watford said: “As a club, Watford FC wishes to apologise to all young people who experienced the behaviour perpetrated by the late Phil Edwards, while holding a position of influence and access within the club.
    “We thank the survivors for their courage and dignity in all of their dealings with Watford FC, their patience also which allowed us to both conduct a thorough internal investigation and work with Clive Sheldon KC and his team with regards to their own independent findings.
    “We are doing, and will continue to do, everything we can to ensure that the boys, girls, men and women who play for this club – and indeed anyone who works for or with the club – will not have to endure the experiences these young people did.
    “Watford FC will continue to champion best practice in relation to the safeguarding and welfare of the people in its charge.
    “Further, the input and observations of survivors, based on their experiences, will always be welcome in the future.
    “Support remains available for anyone who believes it would be beneficial to them.”
    Football’s abuse scandal was exposed in 2016 with allegations about former youth coach Barry Bennell, who is now serving a 34-year prison sentence for sex offences against young boys.
    Among the ex-players who came forward to reveal they had been abused by Bennell when youngsters were former Bury and Sheffield United footballer Andy Woodward, the first to speak out, and then ex-England, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool star Paul Stewart.
    Former Chelsea youth player Bennell worked for Crewe Alexandra in the 1980s and 1990s and also had links with Manchester City and Stoke City.
    The FA said in today’s statement: “We continue to offer support to anyone who has been impacted by non-recent child sexual abuse in football.

    “If anyone is ready to come forward at this time, they can do so without waiving their anonymity and there is support in place if they want to access it.
    “Abuse can be reported via the NSPCC Helpline on 0800 023 2642 or the police.”

    Sloan said she was ‘stuck in her own world’ while stalking the three Prem stars
    She also targeted Ben Chilwell, 26, and Brighton’s Billy Gilmour, 21, in a relentless ‘kiss and troll’ crusade after meeting the Premier League trio at a house party.
    During her harassment campaign, Sloan created sinister collages of Chilwell and Mount, 24, with other women and demanded apologies from the players for ignoring her messages.
    And Gilmour was left taking sleeping pills, cutting ties with his family and having his security beefed up after she falsely claimed she was pregnant despite the pair never having sex.
    On Tuesday, Sloan – a former OnyFans model – was spared jail when she was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

    She was handed a 12-week sentence suspended for 18 months and told to pay the millionaire stars a total of £1,100 in compensation – £500 to Gilmore and £300 to Chilwell and Mount.
    But speaking for the first time since her sentence, Sloan says she regrets her behaviour but claims it was down to “loneliness”.
    She told The Mail on Sunday: “I didn’t see it coming. I was very stuck in my own world.
    “I didn’t meet many people. I was quite lonely and being on OnlyFans just made me more lonely.

    “It’s only until it got to the point where I had to go to court, and potentially to prison, that I could see what I had done.”
    Sloan’s harassment exploded after she was invited to a party at England international Chilwell’s house after meeting him over social media.
    She slept with Chelsea team-mate Mount, who has 36 England caps, and the pair chatted “sporadically” for around six months until he cut things off.
    Sloan, from Exeter, Devon, then started stalking the 24-year-old and changed her number 21 times when he kept blocking her.
    She also sent him a screenshot of her paying £12.99 for a new number from Apple, saying: “I’m not buying food anymore so I can get more numbers.”
    ‘DEVIL BABY’
    And in the grips of obsession, she told him: “You must apologise or you will unlock a new character – Devil Baby. So let me apologise and make it right.”
    She told The Mail on Sunday the name was only meant to be “a joke”.
    Mount was left terrified that she would show up at the Chelsea training centre after she was unable to contact him.
    Speaking of her interactions with Mount, Sloan said she “thought it was going somewhere” but in reality there was no chance of a relationship.
    She also made an Instagram account with the username DevilBaby_10, which she used to create collages of Chilwell with other women.
    Gilmour was then bombarded with messages about Mount after the England star refused to message back.
    The stalker tagged his family and friends in the “completely fictitious” posts which ended in her claiming she was pregnant, despite the pair never having sex.
    Gilmour, who has been capped 16 times by Scotland, said her messages had a “huge impact” on his life following his switch from Chelsea to Brighton last September.
    He told the court: “I have not been able to sleep and have had to take sleeping tablets. It’s had a negative effect on my performance and professional life.”
    The court was told by Sloan’s mum, who describes herself on Facebook as a Reiki and Shamanic healer, that her daughter is “addicted” to social media.
    Following her trial, Sloan says she never intended to harm the three players but has learnt that online actions have real world consequences which she did not anticipate at the time.
    The influencer previously admitted one count of harassment, one of stalking and one count of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
    The latter charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
