London, April 24 : Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo has apparently revealed that he was seeing former Miss Wales and 2006’s ‘Big Brother’ star Imogen Thomas during the same time she was dating a married footballer who hit her with a gagging order.

Ronaldo – who reportedly enjoyed a night of passion with the Welsh model five years ago – has told friends the pair has met several times in the past three months and also boasted, “She’s in love with me!”, reports the Mirror.

He even invited the beauty to watch him take on her old flame Jermain Defoe’s club Tottenham in a Champions League clash this month.

Ronaldo said she was so e­xcited about seeing him she was “doing back flips”.

Earlier it was reported that Thomas had a long-term affair with the mystery married Premier League footballer, who has obtained a legal order to keep his name secret.

During the affair, former Manchester United winger Ronaldo got back in touch with Thomas through Skype and Facebook in January.

Ronaldo recently told pals the pair speak regularly and Thomas is “obsessed” and in love with him.

But the model claimed the Portuguese star made the entire running and constantly chased her with calls and raunchy messages.

She told a pal he was insatiable, sometimes called her 20 times in a row and “went mad” if she did not answer her phone.

“She wants him to stop calling her and has no intention of meeting him. She’s saying she has never, in her life, met him,” a spokesman for her said. (ANI)
