LEANNE Edelsten, the former wife of one-time Sydney Swans owner Geoffrey Edelsten, claims to have had an eight-year affair with the UK-based Australian critic, author and humorist Clive James.
Ms Edelsten told Channel 9's A Current Affair the pair had pet names for each other - he was Mr Wolf because of the way he ravaged her the first time they had sex and she was Ms Hood, short for Little Red Riding Hood.
She claims she exposed the affair because she feared British newspapers were about to break the story.
Mr James, 73, has since been evicted from his home by his wife and now lives in Cambridge.
The pair met in a Sydney restaurant in 2004 and kept in touch through emails, which included raunchy photos of Ms Edelsten. They met up every time James came to Australia.
"He wanted photos because he was missing me," she said.
She said she didn't reveal her background when the two met, simply saying she was a single mother of two and a nurse.
"He made me laugh, from the get-go," Ms Edelsten said.
She said each time before and after sex they would share a Cherry Ripe.
Why?
"Because he loves them, and so do I," she said.
The Twitterverse went ballistic after the interview was screened, with many people criticising Nine for filming a seemingly confused old man.
