I'm rampant ‘Razor' Ruddock secret OTHER half

THE blonde dismissed as a meaningless fling by jungle hardman Neil ‘Razor' Ruddock hit back last night — to reveal they secretly lived together as a couple for over a YEAR!

Stunning Ashleigh Fogg told how the love-rat former football hero—now sweating it out in ITV1's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!—led a double life behind real wife Sarah's back.

Speaking of their affair for the first time, blonde Ashleigh said the relationship was so serious they:

SET UP a permanent love-nest 100 miles away from Razor's wife and two kids,

SNEAKED extra romps in a motorway car park even when he went home to his family, and

SHARED the drama of a miscarriage after he made her pregnant.

Madness

Before jetting to the Aussie rainforest last week Razor, 35, publicly admitted cheating on Sarah, claiming they were just "moments of madness" and that he hadn't really "cared about" the other women.

But furious Ashleigh told us: "That's hurtful. Neil would spend Monday to Friday with me living as man and wife. Then at weekends he'd go home to Sarah.

"And he always told me how in love with me he was and that he wanted to be with me full-time.

"Once when I stormed out in a row, he ran after me crying and begging me to return. He was totally smitten."

Former Liverpool ace Razor met Sheffield divorcee Ashleigh in the bar at London's posh Harvey Nichols store at the beginning of 2001, when he was preparing to become the coach at Swindon Town in Wiltshire.

"I knew nothing about football or who he was," confessed Ashleigh.

"When he said he was in coaching I thought he meant he was a bus driver!

"At first I wasn't interested but I soon warmed to his roguish charm and we ended up kissing in the bar. We couldn't keep our hands off each other.

"We met again the next day. That's when he told me he was a footballer...and dropped the bombshell that he was married.

"But he said he'd been separated for two years and only saw his wife and children at weekends. I believed him— I had no reason not to."

Ashleigh added: "Neil was desperate to sleep with me but I made him wait weeks. When we finally did make love it was explosive.

"We'd waited so long the passion was incredible. The pull between us was all about sheer animal magnetism. We were ripping each other's clothes off and it went on for ages."

The affair turned even hotter after a few weeks, when Ruddock moved to Swindon. He checked into the posh De Vere Hotel while he was looking for a proper home.

"Staying in Neil's hotel room was like being teenagers again," giggled Ashleigh.

"He loved me to dress up in underwear and look really feminine for him. We went out quite a lot but most of our time would be spent making love in the room.

"The staff used to call me Mrs Ruddock and genuinely believed I was his wife." Eventually the club bought Razor a £750,000 penthouse in the town's trendy Plaza 21 development.

Interior designer Ashleigh, 42, said: "I went around with Neil looking at the properties—it was to become my home as much as his. I'd go there on Mondays and spend the rest of the week there. On Saturday he'd be at a match and then go home to Sarah and the children.

"But on Sundays he'd go out for a newspaper and ring me. That's when we often arranged to meet at Scratchwood Services on the M1.

Hungry

"We'd hop into one of the cars and make love. We were so hungry for one another we just couldn't wait for another day.

"At our apartment there was an internal lift down to the car park. When I knew Neil was coming home, I'd put on a pink shirt of his and a pair of stilettos.

"Then I'd travel down in the lift and greet him. Neil's eyes would be out on stalks. He'd drag me upstairs and make love to me. We were very adventurous.

"After a night on the town we'd be making love until four or five in the morning. He then had to get up and train his players. I don't know how he did it. But he was always ravenous for sex when he got home.

"Once we went to eat at a really nice golf club but all the way through the meal we couldn't resist kissing and touching each other. When we got outside we just leaped into Neil's car and made love.

"We did it three times before we got home! And when we got through the front door, it just carried on and on.

"When I got pregnant Neil was really relaxed about it. But then I miscarried very quickly. I was scared—but I'd never really wanted to have his baby.

"He used to say he was worried about drinking too much. He had this persona of the boisterous, loudmouth joker but deep down he was insecure and harboured all these fears—mostly about losing his wealth and status."

Eventually gossip about Razor's mistress reached Sarah at home in Fryerning, Essex. And bizarrely the two women ended up chatting on the phone.

"Sarah called Neil on his mobile and he told her he was with someone," said Ashleigh. "Then the phone was passed to me and she told me she knew about the two of us. I said that was fine and that was that."

But the affair continued—even when the press found out. It was the second time Razor had been exposed for cheating. In 1995 he broke Sarah's heart when the News of the World uncovered his relationship with lingerie model Fiona Robinson.

Nevertheless the romance with Ashleigh went on...until she ended it in early 2002. "I realised it was going nowhere," she explained. "It was a case of ‘I'm not happy with the celebrity...get me out of here!'

"But I've been watching the show this week and Neil's been brilliant. I know he has the wit and charm to pull it off. I just hope he can keep his hands off the girls along the way."
