Footballer JERMAIN DEFOE, 29, has reportedly cheated on new girlfriend Alexandra Burke with part-time promotional model Laura Brown, 23.

The Geordie lass revealed that the spurs striker, who she had met in October, had invited her to his Malmaison hotel room in Newcastle with dubious intentions. "I never planned on sleeping with him", Laura told The Sun, "It just happened."

Alexandra Burke, who rose to stardom in 2008 after winning talent TV show The X Factor, has apparently said that she is in love - Defoe and Burke certainly looked loved-up in pictures in the news earlier this week! Laura expressed her shock at seeing the photos in the paper after claiming that Jermain had described the relationship as "early days".

Sympathetic Laura also told The Sun "I regret it. but she obviously has not got a clue he has cheated on her. I feel so sorry for her." Well, it's safe to say the 4-million record selling popstar probably has some inkling now!

Giving little away, Alexandra was all smiles last night (26/04/12) as she entertained fans at a gig held in Leeds at the University. Representatives for Defoe and Burke are yet to comment on the kiss-and-tell girl's claims.
