VIDEO Vanessa Perroncel: I didn't have an affair with John Terry

Model Vanessa Perroncel breaks silence about tabloid claims

Vanessa Perroncel and Wayne Bridge's son Jaydon Jean Claude Bridge was born in November 2006

Vanessa Perroncel has rubbished claims she had an affair with married footballer John Terry.

The model was alleged to have had a 4-month fling in late 2009 with the Chelsea footballer after she split from his former teammate Wayne Bridge.  

'We were friends. That's what we were,' says Vanessa, 33.

'I denied [the claims] from the start but people didn't want to hear. I've never said, "Oh yes, I've had an affair with John Terry." I said, "No, he was my friend."'

Vanessa has also denied allegations that John, 29, paid her to keep quiet about the rumoured fling.  

'Absolutely not. I didn't take a penny from him,' she tells GMTV.

Vanessa - who contacted John's wife Toni Poole after the rumours broke to reassure her - hopes she'll be able to rekindle her romance with Wayne, the father of her 3-year-old son Jaydon. 

'It would be lovely, but you know, Wayne might not feel that way,' she adds.

John and Toni got married in June 2007.

They are parents to 4-year-old twins Summer and Georgie.
