Mario Balotelli ran off with my best pal, says ex Katrina Harrison

London, May 18 (ANI): A model who had a secret affair with Mario Balotelli has revealed how he seduced her best friend at her birthday party.

Katrina Harrison, who dated the Manchester City star for two years, said she felt physically sick after spotting him playing "footsie" with her glamour girl friend Holly Henderson.

Moments earlier the footballer had asked the 26-year-old to wait for him in his car so that they could go back to his home together.

But instead, she went back into Manchester's trendy Circle club where her birthday bash was being held, and found the 21-year-old romeo flirting with her closest friend.

Harrison discovered that she was only one of a bevy of beauties bedded by the football bad boy behind the back of his former Italian lingerie model fiancee Raffaella Fico, 23.

The betrayed beauty was so embarrassed that she quit her lucrative modelling career and moved abroad, where she is now a student.

"I know what footballers are like. They can have their pick of just about any girl. But Mario seems to want the rest of the team's share too. I wasn't expecting a ring or a wedding but I did think he'd have more respect for me than that," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

"It was my birthday party, all my friends were there. I'd been sitting on his knee moments earlier when we'd gone outside together, and there he was sorting out the next notch on his bedpost ... my best mate!

"He was tapping her with his foot and they were looking into one another's eyes. I felt physically sick and went home. That was the end of my relationship with Mario and Holly."

Harrison said that she met the footballer at a Halloween nightclub bash in London shortly after he moved to City from Italian giants Inter Milan in 2010.

Balotelli sent over one of his pals to direct the stunning men's magazine model, who was dressed as a Devil, to his table.

That night Harrison revealed that she went back to his room at a five-star hotel for the first in a series of sex romps.

"He was quite rough in bed but afterwards very tender and gentle and loved to cuddle," she said.

"I'd give him six out of 10. And he was really fit. I like bad boys and I fancied him straight away," she said.

After Balotelli returned to Manchester the next day they swapped BlackBerry messages and phone calls.

Harrison, who lived in Essex, said he wanted to know her every move and pestered her to travel north to see him again.

When she missed her train for one planned meeting she said that the flash star sent a chauffeur-driven Mercedes to pick her up for a 470-mile round trip to his bed.

"By the time I got there it was 2am and he fell asleep," she said.

Balotelli later found out that Harrison had once even dated former City and current QPR star Shaun Wright-Phillips, 30, and got very upset with her.

"He'd obviously had the mickey taken out of him and couldn't stand the fact I'd been out with Shaun. He just exploded and I lost the plot and went home," she added. (ANI)
