Ex-Lions rugby star Andy Powell was left red-faced after he was publicly shamed by his estranged wife on Twitter.
The sportsman had broken up with Natasha Gascoine in February, just nine months after their wedding, and had been angling for a reconciliation with her.
Unfortunately, his methods of persuasion were far from effective, and largely involved bombarding her with lewd text messages.
This didn't go down too well with Gascoine, who posted screen shots of the texts up on Twitter (they are still there if you really want to get a sense of just how crude the messages were, as they are far too explicit to publish in full).
In one of the messages, Powell charmingly tells Gascoine: "I'm in Montpellier just had a chance to bang a girl". But, she must have been thrilled to read, he goes on to say he'd rather be with his wife. To put it in the mildest context.
