Papiss Cisse Gets Married In Paris Without Telling British Girlfriend

Newcastle footballer Papiss Cisse has left his on-off girlfriend heartbroken after telling her he was going on holiday only to marry a volleyball player three days later.

Rachelle Graham, 24, a beauty queen and former Miss Newcastle, says last week she said goodbye to the Senegalese striker, 30, believing he was off to spend a month in his homeland.

But after he failed to return her texts she became worried and went online, finding a picture of her love's wedding to sportswoman Diallo Awa, 29, at a yacht club outside Paris.

Miss Graham received horrific abuse after news of her relationship with Cisse became public in 2013 and it was reported to police.

Today it appears that she has been targeted again and said that she dated the footballer because she loved him, not for his money.

She tweeted: 'Yes I am upset and hurt as we were very close and I trusted him all these years. I had a good life before I met Papiss and I intend to get that good life back!

'Contrary to what a lot of you think I have never needed his money - I have my own thank you - and I did not date him because of his job and fame.

'I dated him for the same reason most people date someone and anyone who knows me and Papiss will tell you that!

'Now it's time for me to move on with my life and he will do the same. Everything happens for a reason'
