Mario Balotelli confesses having sex with Wayne Rooney's hooker

London, Apr 5 (ANI): Mario Balotelli has admitted to having twice bedded the hooker who famously had a threesome with Wayne Rooney.

The Manchester City striker decided to confess that he cheated on his girlfriend by sleeping with Jenny Thompson at his 3million pounds Cheshire mansion rather than pay "hush money".

He spoke out as his lawyer, Vittorio Rigo, revealed that a woman, not Thompson, had offered a "financial alternative" to details of his romp emerging, a deal, which the Italian footballer flatly rejected.

Instead the 21-year-old, who has been dating Italian beauty Raffaella Fico since last summer, insisted that he would prefer to "admit what has happened" and "deal with the consequences".

"Mario is a young and impulsive football player and as such he is an easy target for tabloids looking for stories and people seeking to benefit from being associated with him," the Mirror quoted his agent, Mino Raiola, as saying in a statement.

"Lately I feel that the chase has become more purposeful and women, in particular, are targeting Mario looking to make money from him directly or by selling stories to newspapers.

"In this regard, we therefore wish to confirm that Mario has had a brief involvement with Miss Jennifer Thompson, a well-known figure amongst tabloid readers in England.

"Mario prefers to admit what has happened, has refused any means on offer to try to keep the matter silent and will deal with any consequences his actions bring in the way of public attention.

"However, he prefers to deal with his personal life in private and had told those close to him about this situation prior to any suggestion of this matter becoming public," he added. (ANI)
