Danger Ahead
Christina El Moussa has a hot new guy, but his former fling has a warning for the reality star
Christina El Moussa has found happiness with Ant Anstead, but his ex-flame has a warning for the Flip or Flop star.
Christina El Moussa kicked off 2018 with a new man by her side. On Jan. 1, the Flip or Flop star — who’s endured four failed relationships in the past 20 months — shared an Instagram photo of herself on a bike ride with hunky British TV host Ant Anstead, the star of Discovery Channel UK’S car makeover series Wheeler Dealers. Nine days later, in an Instagram story post, the HGTV star declared that this would be the year of “healthy relationships,” “self love & respect” and “genuine love.”
But she’ll have a tough time finding those things with Ant, says a woman who claims she hooked up with the English car guru — while he was married! In late 2017, Ant, 38, an- nounced that he and his wife of 12 years, Louise, had quietly separated in July. A year before that, however, he was trading sexually explicit photos, direct messages and Skype calls with a sexy English blonde he met on social media, the woman exclusively tells Life & Style, until their fivemonth flirtation-turned-fling fizzled out in late 2016. A rep for Ant denies the claims. “Christina is so not his type. Ant once told me he didn’t like reality TV people!” claims the woman, adding that she thinks Ant is in it for the fame and will cheat on Christina, 34, too. “A leopard,” she warns, “doesn’t change its spots.”
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Ant started following the woman on Twitter in 2015, she claims: “He was 100 percent with his wife then. He kept liking things and pictures I was posting before we started direct messaging each other. It was all a bit flirty.” Eventually he suggested they meet for drinks at a London hotel. “He outright asked me if I was looking for something,” she says. ( Early texts show that Ant told her he was married and asked if she was interested in “a fling.”) “He kissed me [that night], but that was about it. He was very concerned about being seen in public.”
After exchanging some X-rated messages, he invited the woman to a charity soccer game in which he was playing. There, she claims, things got hot and heavy: He pulled her into a private bathroom and she performed oral sex on him. “In the middle of it, his wife phoned and he panicked, so we stopped,” she says. He was still excited after the call ruined the
moment, so “he was trying to talk [ himself ] down. He kept saying to himself, ‘ Margaret Thatcher, Margaret Thatcher, Margaret Thatcher,’ ” she says. “He’s very charming but has got a way of being quite manipulative. He can be hot and cold. Sometimes he’d make you feel really special, and then other times he’d act like a total d---.”
TROUBLE AHEAD
Christina — who posted to Instagram on Jan. 10 a photo of an English knight in shining armor — should be on guard, warns Ant’s former fling. She exchanged texts with the police officer- turned- carfabricator just weeks ago. ( He complained that the media was “all over me as I’ve been dating a celeb! So unfair.”) Not only are Ant and Christina “very different people,” says the woman, “but now that he’s living in America and getting a lot of attention, he will be tempted by other women. He won’t be able to help himself.”
