GIRLFRIEND­S TO BE QUIZZED Ronaldo’s exes could be made to testify in rape case

the incident nor a descriptio­n of the suspect. Police said she did receive a medical exam. Ms Mayorga claims she feared for her safety and says she was told she would be humiliated if she pressed charges.

She said she brokered a £288,000 hush money deal and agreed to never discuss the alleged incident again. But she is now trying to overturn the agreement – alleging she was bullied into it. Ronaldo – who scored for Italian giants Juve in their 2-0 win at Udinese last night – has denied any wrongdoing.

He told his 75 million Twitter followers: “I firmly deny the accusation­s. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.

“Keen as I may be to clear my name, I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense. My clear conscious (sic) will thereby allow me to await with tranquilli­ty the results of any and all investigat­ions.”

Ever since turning profession­al in 2002, the Portuguese star has been linked to a string of actresses, models and socialites.

Gemma Atkinson once said their romance was “really, really glamorous”.

She also told how on their first date they enjoyed cups of tea at her house while watching sitcom Only Fools and Horses. A representa­tive for Gemma last night said she did not wish to comment. After leaving Man United for Real Madrid in 2009 – and around the time of the alleged rape – Ronaldo briefly dated American socialite Paris Hilton, 37.

The following year US reality TV star Kim Kardashian, also 37, was seen in Madrid and spending time with Ronaldo.

His longest relationsh­ip was with Russian Irina Shayk, 32, from 2010-2015.

Ronaldo became a dad to Cristiano Ronaldo Jr in June 2010, announcing he had full custody of his child and would not publicly reveal who the mother was.

Last year he said he had fathered twins – Eva Maria and Mateo – via a surrogate in the US. And last November, girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, 23, gave birth to their daughter Alana Martina.

If Ronaldo faces legal proceeding­s he could be extradited to the US under a treaty agreement with Italy.
