Can ex kelly stop Danny’s womanising ways?

Danny ‘smitten’ with All Saints singer Nicole But ex Kelly warns: ‘You need to change!’ She fears the rugby star leads women on

- By Daisy Mclure

He’s made his way through a catalogue of celebritie­s, including Lindsay Lohan, Jordan – aka Katie Price – and Kirsty Gallacher. Now rugby star Danny Cipriani appears to have lined up his next love interest, after being spotted cosying up to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton in London last week.

REACHING OUT

But insiders tell Closer how his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Brook, has lashed out at the 28-year-old Lothario, who she fears is still struggling with commitment issues since their split in 2013 – and could break recently divorced Nicole’s heart.

An insider says: “Kelly hasn’t been happy with Danny’s behaviour since their split and has watched him break hearts after stamping all over hers. Despite their messy break-up, they’ve been in touch on and off and she’s still really sensitive when she sees him playing the field. When she saw he was on a date with Nicole, she felt she had to say something.

“Kelly reached out to Danny and warned him to treat Nicole well and not mess her around. She said she thought he needed to sort his head out before dating anyone else and causing further heartache, but Danny was fuming and told Kelly he was serious about getting to know Nicole – and warned her to stay out of his business. He says it’s got nothing to do with leading people on.”

STORMY ROMANCE

Danny and Kelly got together in 2008 and the sportsman has described the model-turned-actress as his only serious girlfriend. Things turned sour between the pair when Kelly discovered Danny had given his number to a dancer while they were on holiday in Las Vegas, and they split in 2010.

The Wasps player, who was recently convicted of drink-driving, has admitted he sought profession­al help for depression following his split from Kelly, which came around the same time as he was

dropped by the England team.

The pair reunited in February 2013, but ended things for good that summer when Kelly discovered he’d sent a number of flirty texts to other women.

In her 2013 autobiogra­phy Up Close, Kelly – who is now rumoured to be engaged to her French model boyfriend, Jeremy Parisi – said of her ex: “He needs constant attention from any woman at any time and if you’re not going to give it to him there’s a whole line of women who are ready to.

“From the attention of his own mother to his friend’s mother to glamour models. It’s endless. I started to think all these men are absolutely spineless.”

love-rat

Danny has earned a love-rat reputation over the years. Model Jordan, who dated Danny in 2011, claimed to have caught him in bed with another woman. He’s since gone on to date divorced sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, 40, and was recently linked to Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, 20. Now it appears he’s getting close to Nicole, 41. Onlookers at the Renaissanc­e Hotel’s bar in London said he looked “smitten” with Nicole – who has 15-yearold son, Gene, with her ex, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, 43. A source adds: “Kelly doesn’t want to see history repeat itself with Nicole.”

Cracking the states

Meanwhile, Kelly turned heads last week when she was seen with a noticeably bigger cleavage – sparking rumours she’d had a boob job.

A source says: “Kelly’s desperate to bag another big role in Hollywood and really crack the States this time.

“She hasn’t had surgery, but is using non-invasive techniques to give her bust a natural boost in the hope it’ll get her noticed.”
