According to report by UK Mail Online, Former footballer John Fashanu is embroiled in a bitter split with his wife Abigail amid claims that she threatened him with knives after he slept with their maid.
The ex-Wimbledon player, 52, has filed for divorce, claiming his 'life was at stake' - and says it was in fact her who cheated on him - with another woman who she calls her 'spiritual partner'.
Mrs Fashanu, 48, strenuously denies these allegations and says her ex-husband is 'sick and needs help'.
Fashanu, who also presented hit TV show Gladiators, wed Abigail in 2011 but their marriage hit the rocks last year.
While she claims to have caught him undressed in bed with two women, including the housemaid, he says he found her in bed with a female friend.
Mrs Fashanu denies this - claiming the woman is just a friend who was living with her for a short period.
As well as the allegations of cheating and threatening behaviour, the father of five has accused his wife of stealing thousands of pounds in cash from their marital home in Nigeria.
Speaking to Patrick Hill at The Sunday People, the former star said: 'My life was at risk and I didn't want it to happen again. That's why I filed for divorce.
Denying that he slept with the housemaid, he added: 'This is me, John Fashanu, you're talking to. It's absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story, at least let her say it's Beyoncé or someone.
'I've been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world. I certainly don't have to sleep with my cleaner!'
