Washington, Oct 5 : A former intern on the David Letterman show has laid claims that she had a secret fling with the talk show host and comedian.

According to TMZ. com, Holly Hester said that the relationship started in the early `90s when Letterman, now 62, called and asked her on a date to the movies.

"I was madly in love with him at the time," Us magazine quoted her as saying.

"I would have married him. He was hilarious," she added.

But the relationship between them ended a year later because of their age difference. (ANI)
