London, Feb 20 (ANI): The woman whom soccer star Ashley Cole sent dozens of racy texts has claimed that he "took crazy risks" to see her.

Vicki Gough claims she started an affair with Ashley, who's married to singer Cheryl, after he got her number from a friend.

He allegedly persuaded her to meet at a Lincolnshire hotel before a Chelsea match in October 2008 and she claims they spent the night together, reports The Mirror.

"He could not stop himself taking crazy risks," said Vicki, 30.

Initially her identity was kept secret but she was outed after her name appeared online on football fan forums and in the media.

Birmingham City employed her where she helped finalise football transfers but she moved to Chelsea's Premiership rivals Liverpool in September. (ANI)
