Third jilted lover emerges in Phoenix sex scandal

Wellington Phoenix star Steven Taylor’s alleged love triangle has turned into a love quadrangle with a third woman claiming to have been seeing the footballer at the same time he was dating two other women.

And, as Taylor is alleged to have done with the other two women, the former Premier League defender’s pet name for Katy Coffey was “long pins”.

Last week The Sun reported Taylor, who joined the Phoenix from Peterborough United in October last year, had dated 22-year-old Diana Adomaitis for more than six months while seeing an Australian model behind her back.

The unnamed Australian woman messaged Adomaitis just before Christmas to tell her that she had been having sex with Taylor — after seeing photos of the couple in Taylor’s seaside flat in Wellington.

Now 33-year-old Coffey, a model and singer-songwriter from Manchester, has revealed that she, too, had been dating Taylor — for more than two years.

“I can’t believe it,” Coffey told The Sun.

“He told me he wanted us to get married and spend our lives together.

“We even went on holiday to Tenerife twice and he told me he wanted me to meet his family. I feel like such a fool.

“I honestly believe he has something wrong with him. People don’t treat others that way.

“He thinks just because he’s a footballer he can treat people like dirt.

“To call us the same pet names is sick. He couldn’t even be bothered to be original.”

According to The Sun, Taylor sent Coffey messages calling her “long pins” just two days after telling Adomaitis she had him “smitten like a kitten”.
