Lapdancer's husband slams England striker, Jermain Defoe for 'breaking up his family and marriage TWICE'

A dock worker, Tony Calvert has reveled how his wife has left him TWICE for England and Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe. 26-year-old Calvert, was left heart-broken when his wife and mother of his child,  Rachel first dumped him on Valentine’s Day. The Newcastle United fan’s anguish was made worse when he discovered his wife’s new man is the main striker of arch city rivals Sunderland.

Defoe, 33, gave his relegation-threatened Premier League side a lifeline when he scored in Sunderland’s convincing 3-0 win at Norwich.
And when Rachel’s affair with the former MLS star broke down after he was pictured with another woman, Tony decided to throw HER a lifeline for the sake of their 3-year-old daughter.
His wife admitted living with the £70,000-a-week serial ­womaniser wasn’t all she’d hoped for – and compared their failed romance to a Hollywood film.
But now Tony has been left devastated after Rachel, 24, changed her mind AGAIN and told him she wants Defoe to play dad to their daughter.

Tony said: “I’ve read that he’s a born-again Christian. But he’ll still sleep with ­another man’s wife.

“He’s broken up a marriage and a family twice. I thought things couldn’t get worse after being dumped on Valentine’s Day but somehow they have. I feel a total fool.”
Tony, who married Rachel two-and-a-half years ago, first split with her in January but arranged a meeting on neutral territory the following month to patch things up.

While chatting in his car outside an Asda ­supermarket near their home in South Shields, Rachel dropped the bombshell she was seeing the top footballer and ­wanted a divorce.
Later that week she was ­pictured in her slippers taking out the bins at Defoe’s £2million mansion in Ponteland, Northumberland.

Feeling at home?

Rachel had met the star on a night out in Newcastle and a few days later he turned up at a club where she was working as a lapdancer.
Tony said: “He went to the club in trackies and hoodie. They let him in and he asked for her. He pursued her even though he knew she was married.”

But days later Rachel was knocking on Tony’s front door saying she still loved him.
Defoe, whose ex-girlfriends include models Imogen Thomas, 33, Chantelle Houghton, 32, and former Miss GB Danielle Lloyd, 32, had been pictured leaving the Hilton hotel in Newcastle with Hayley Wilson. Hayley, 28, was ­previously shacked up with former footie ace Stan Collymore.

Shaken Rachel sent Tony soppy pictures of teddy bears with “husband” written on them.
She also sent a letter saying: “I mean it when I say I love you from the bottom of my heart, you’re my rock, my world, my foundation and my true soul mate and I will do anything to prove to you that we are meant to be together forever!!”

Tony said: “When she turned up she was crying her eyes out saying it was the biggest mistake of her life. She sent me this letter and was sending all these lovey-dovey texts saying she still loved me.”

He said Rachel kept comparing their relationship to the film The Notebook – a love-triangle ­romance starring Ryan Gosling set in the 1940s.
Tony said: “I hadn’t even seen the film so didn’t know what she was going on about. I have now – it’s rubbish.”
The couple moved back in ­together but after a few weeks Rachel went on holiday with ­girlfriends to America.
She returned at the end of March, but within a day things had changed again.

Tony said: “That night we slept together but the next day she rang me at work and said,‘I don’t want you to come home tonight’. She said she wanted to be by herself and no longer loved me. I had no idea what was going on in her head. What had changed in 24 hours?
“She never mentioned him. But then a few days later our daughter said she was going to ‘Jem’s house’.
“She said to me, ‘You have to be nice to Jem, you’ve been saying bad things about Jem’.
“I realised Rachel was back with him. Since then she’s told me they’re in love and they want to get engaged.
“I don’t know if he knows she’s saying these things.”

Tony and Rachel when the going was good

Tony’s main concern is now his daughter.
He said: “The season ends in a few weeks. If Sunderland go down and he moves club where’s the stability for my daughter?
“What if he goes abroad again? Will he take Rachel with him? Maybe there is a one per cent chance that shes the girl who turns him round?
“But they’ve dragged me through the mud and I feel like I’ve been used. I’ve been a fool, but I won’t be fooled again.
“I won’t take her back again if it all ends in tears. I won’t let her do this a third time.”

Defoe is yet to issue a comment on this.
