Warne's shoulder to cry on

The tabloids have revealed that Michelle Masters is the woman Shane Warne sought companionship in as his marriage fell apart and she was text messaging him up to 30 times a day. Masters, a secretary at a TV station near where Warne has settled in Southampton, has been a frequent companion during the past few months, it has been revealed. The two have also sent dozens of text messages to each other as Warne faced fresh allegations of infidelity, charges that appear to have led to his separation from wife Simone at the weekend. Although Michelle strongly denies their relationship was sexual, but just good friends and have been close since her engagement to his former Hampshire teammate Alex Morris in 2001. The couple invited the Shane to be their best man.
