Cough up, Nick... or I will dish the dirt

Knowles wife’s tweet threat

- BY TOM BRYANT Head of Showbiz tom.bryant@mirror.co.uk

NICK Knowles’ estranged wife says she will spill the beans on the star if he breaks “a promise” to pay school fees for their son.

One horrified pal of the telly host said: “Her threats are effectivel­y blackmail.”

In a second blast on Twitter Jessica Rose Moor, 30, wrote: “Nick maybe intelligen­t but he is not smart.

“He now denies he withdrew his promise to send Eddie to private school but it was sent by his solicitor to mine. He has also denied cruelty but I have diaries and photograph­ic proof.

“I want him to keep promises he made when he walked out to have a string of girlfriend­s. If he does not keep his promises my only option (since I can’t afford to fight it legally - which he knows) is to publish all I have including witness statements. I’ll have nothing to lose.”

The couple’s divorce turned ugly after Jessica tweeted last week that he had subjected her to years of “emotional cruelty and physical abuse”.

A spokesman for Knowles, 55, said the allegation­s were not true with a pal calling them “horrendous” and adding that they had “floored” the star.

Yesterday a friend of Knowles said of her latest post: “It’s effectivel­y blackmail, an awful thing to do.” Another added: “He looks after Jessica and Eddie, just as he supports his first wife and other three children.

“Nick can’t imagine what proof Jessica has. He’s never treated her badly.”

Its understood Knowles has instructed lawyers in response to her claims but he will not respond publicly.

A friend of the Who Dares Wins host said after her first post: “Nick can’t understand why she’d accuse him of such horrendous things.

“He’d never harm Jess and only wants the best for their son. He took Jess to Barbados, got her set up with a magazine blog and she sold stories. This shows her being very bitter.” Another pal said: “Nick pays Jess more than double what most people make in a month.”

Since the couple split, Knowles has dated actress Olivia Hallinan, 33, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Danielle Mason, 34, and ex-TOWIE member Pascal Craymer, 30.
