England hero: Father-of-two John Terry, pictured with his wife Toni, had an affair with his former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge's girlfriend.England captain John Terry can today be named as the married footballer who had an affair with his former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge's girlfriend.
The father-of-two had won a gagging order stopping the public learning about his affair with French model Vanessa Perroncel.
The so-called ‘super-injunction’ was granted by a High Court judge under human rights laws.
Terry, 29, had successfully claimed that exposing his reported infidelity with Perroncel, who is the mother of Bridge's three-year-old son, would be a breach of his right to a ‘private and family life’.
So draconian was Mr Justice Tugendhat’s order that even its existence was supposed to be a secret. But the injunction ran out at 2pm this afternoon.
The affair is thought to have started after Bridge, 29, transfered from Chelsea to Manchester City in January 2009. Perroncel, 28, remained at the family home in Surrey, while he moved to Cheshire.
But the couple separated last month.

Terry and his wife Toni are the parents of three-year-old twins. The couple married at Blenheim Palace in June 2007 before enjoying a two-week honeymoon on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's luxury yacht in the Mediterranean.
Terry has been no stranger to controversy in the past. He was arrested following a fracas at a nightclub in 2003. He was later cleared of four charges, including affray and wounding with intent.
He and Chelsea team-mates were also accused of drunkenly mocking American tourists after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
Terry has spoken of how his parents worked hard to help him on the road to success, saying when he became England captain: 'I definitely see my success as a chance to repay my family.'
However, his father was recently caught supplying cocaine in a bar. Ted Terry was secretly filmed arranging to pass on the class A drug to an undercover reporter.
And Terry's mother Sue was cautioned for shoplifting last year alongside his mother-in-law Sue Poole after being caught with £800 of clothes and groceries from Tesco and Marks & Spencer.
