Movie hunk Hugh Grant has been blasted for seducing his personal trainer with his "fame and wealth" - by the woman's spurned lover.

The LOVE ACTUALLY star, 43, has been accused of luring Ukraine-born DANA VERBYTSKA, 25, away from Brazilian barman AUGUSTO JUNIOR - despite her protestations that her and Grant "haven't slept together".

Junior says, "I can't believe Grant has stolen her from me.

"He's a big famous film star, how the hell can I complete with that? He's turned her head with his fame and his wealth.

"I don't know whether he knew she had a boyfriend but Grant's taken the woman I love away from me."

Grant and Verbytska met when he joined his local gym in London's exclusive Chelsea district - where the blonde fitness trainer gave him personal tuition as he attempted to get in shape.

A friend of Junior tells British newspaper the SUNDAY MIRROR, "He confronted Dana but she denied there was any romance and insisted they were not sleeping together."
