Shane Warne put in his place by fiance of page-three model
A PAGE-THREE girl in the UK claims that Aussie cricket legend Shane Warne has bombarded her phone with text messages.
AUSSIE cricket legend Shane Warne has been put in his place by the fiance of a page-three girl after reportedly bombarding her phone with text messages.
Model Rhian Sugden claims she has been bombarded by messages from Warne, despite being told three times that she was engaged to Coronation Street star Oliver Mellor, the Sun reports.
After several messages over the past year, Mellor finally stepped in this week to tell Warne to leave his fiance alone.
“This is Rhians (sic) Fiance. As I can see from previous messages — she has mentioned this a few times,” Mellor wrote.
“Not sure why a 46 year old man who she has never met ... would want to meetup with her other than to be inappropriate. Get the hint and find somebody single to bombard with messages.”
Warne reportedly replied with a thumbs up emoji.
He first made contact with Sugden over a year ago, and was caught out reading her account in October last year when he favourited one of her tweets.
According to The Sun, Warne first contacted the model over Twitter begging for drinks. She informed him that she was engaged, to which he responded: “Hahahahaha, sob !!!!! “I know, will leave you be gorgeous one, be happy xxx.”
Warne is no stranger to controversy over explicit text messages, previously accidentally sending a text message to his now ex-wife Simone Callahan that was meant for a girlfriend.
Then when he started dating Hollywood actor Liz Hurley, the cricketer became embroiled in another texting scandal.
