She stood accused of betraying of her former fiancé Wayne Bridge and her best friend Toni Terry.

But now, four months after her alleged affair with John Terry became front page news, Vanessa Perroncel claims it never even happened.

In a new magazine interview, the former WAG completely denies the moral charge sheet against her, insisting her relationship with the former Chelsea captain was only ever platonic.

Her side of the story: Vanessa Perroncel denies having an affair with John Te

The 33-year-old, who has a son Jaydon, 3, with Bridge, gave her side of the story to this week's Grazia magazine.

In the article, journalist Kathryn Knight writes how she went into the interview 'expecting justification and context' from Perroncel, but instead got 'a blanket denial'.

The French brunette told her: 'I had known John for eight years before I met Wayne, and we had always kept in touch - and that's all it was.

'What we had cannot be described as an affair, it was a friendship.

'Not one word of what was written about me was true.'

When asked directly if her relationship with Terry was ever physical, Perroncel replied with a firm no.

For those who have followed the scandal in the newspapers, her stance will come as something of a surprise.

It contradicts widespread reports the pair had a four month liaison in 2009 following the breakdown of her relationship with Bridge.

According to Grazia, her publicity agent interrupted the interview at the first mention of Terry's name.

The Max Clifford employee, who was sitting in on the conversation, asked Perroncel to carefully read a typed piece of paper to 'remind' her of her position before addressing questions about the footballer.

Perroncel continued: 'All this talk of him coming to my house twice a week for rampant sex just never happened.'

But she struggled to explain why she didn't speak up to deny the matter at the time.

The fall-out saw Terry stripped of his captaincy and Bridge confirm he would not play with the Chelsea star during England's bid for the World Cup.

She says: 'It's easy to say that now but I didn't know what to say or do when all this came out.

'I was scared of being tripped up. The whole thing was overwhelming but I'm now suing for defamation and breach of privacy.'

She also addressed Terry's extraordinary bid to seek a gagging order to keep affair allegations out of the press. The super-injunction was ultimately rejected by a High Court judge.

'I thought it was the right thing to do, although now I think he should have let the newspapers publish and we could have just sued them,' she says. 'Instead the story became the injunction.'

Perroncel claims she is back on good terms with Bridge, who 'now knows the truth'.

As she tells it, there are also no hard feelings between herself and John Terry's wife, with whom he has four-year-old twins, Rose and Georgie John.

'I talked to Toni to put her mind at rest, and to John, though I don't really speak to him at the moment as it doesn't feel like the right thing.'

She concludes: 'It's horrible what happened and everyone has to deal with a situation like this in their own way, but we are not estranged.'
