Terry at bay as 'mistress' signs publicist

Pressure was increasing on England football captain John Terry yesterday as it emerged that the woman with whom he allegedly had an affair had signed up publicist Max Clifford.

Mr Clifford said he planned to meet Vanessa Perroncel, who wanted to read newspaper reports before deciding on her next move, later yesterday.

Terry scored the winning goal for his Chelsea team on Saturday night but remained stony-faced about claims that he had an affair with Ms Perroncel , ex-partner of his former team-mate Wayne Bridge.

There has been no word from the Football Association or England manager Fabio Capello about whether Terry will continue as England captain.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed on Saturday that Terry will remain captain of the club. He refused to discuss whether Terry should remain skipper of the national team for this year's World Cup.
