The 31-year-old said, who originally wrote about the sexual assault in her weekly OK! magazine column and later went on to claim that though she'd never reveal the identity of the alleged attacker he was a "famous celebrity", in response to possible police intervention:

"I'm not going to say anything. What's past is past and I just want to forget about it as best I can. The whole thing has been a nightmare and I wish I never said anything in the first place."

But now the glamour model, who even called up Matthew Wright to defend her claims when the presenter began a panel debate on whether she should have spoken to the press or not, is being backed up by Gladiator Ace, who dated her in the mid-1990s.

He claims he saw the number of a "serial shagger" on her Pink mobile phone (which literally could be anyone and thanks for the colour detail otherwise we may not have believed you) and immdeiately assumed that she had been seduced by the "famous celebrity".

But when Ace, real name Warren Furman, accused Priceof sleeping with the "notorious" celebrity, she sobbed and sobbed.

Ace explained:

"He had a notorious reputation in showbiz for being a serious player, a serial sh***er. I screamed at her and walked out.

"But now, after hearing about her rape claim, I'm haunted by the fear that she reacted like that because of what that man had done to her."
