An unnamed England player reportedly paid a dominatrix to act out his sexual fantasies, which included being humiliated and called a "sissy".

Jessica Black, a 29-year-old dominatrix for hire, claimed that the footballer in question also enjoyed "prancing around in his wife's lingerie" during their meetups.

"I knew he was a professional sportsman the moment he turned up because he had the car, the watch, the ring," said Black, who alleges that she was threatened with legal action if she featured the player in her new book Mistress For Hire.

"He was a very handsome man. I mentioned the book to him but he felt that due to the fact that so many footballers have cheated on their wives he did not want to end up in the same bracket.

"I totally respect that but don't feel he should have threatened me. This is my bread and butter. If I went around exposing people, it would not be good for my image. So I didn't push him after that. I've only seen him once since."

Black, who also claims to have been paid by top pop stars and judges, charges £350 an hour for her services.
