'Get me her number': Cristiano Ronaldo traded Porsche for Dannii Minogue and Kimberly Wyatt's digits, claims masseur
MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM: A former masseur for Manchester United has spilled the beans about Cristiano Ronaldo. He has alleged that the football legend asked for his help in finding out the phone numbers of two singers that he fancied. Rod Thornley has said that the five-time Ballon d'Or award winner traded with him to get the phone numbers, selling him a Porsche for half price as a thank you. The ladies in question were TV star and singer Dannii Minogue and Kimberly Wyatt, a member of the Pussycat Dolls.
"He is having a massage with me and on the TV is the X-Factor," Thornley told the Under The Cosh Podcast. "There was Dannii Minogue, the sister of Kylie Minogue, and he asks 'Can you get me her number?' I'm like 'I'm a masseur of Man United'. But, I am a man of many means and, within like four or five days, I've got Dannii Minogue's number on my phone."

'They went on a couple of dates'
Thronley continued, "So I hand it to him. Apparently, they went on a couple of dates and whatever. Nothing came of it in the end." "About four or five months later, we're in March or April, he is leaving for Real Madrid. We all know he's off at the end of the season," he said. "So, he says to me while the X-Factor's on again on Saturday night and it was that Kimberly Wyatt from Pussycat Dolls. Can you get me her number?' he asks."
'What's in this for me?'
"So I'm like 'Wow, what's in this for me? I'm getting you girls' numbers from everywhere and I'm getting nothing out of this," the masseur said. "He said 'You like my car?' He had a Porsche convertible. He said 'When I go to Real Madrid, I'll sell it to you for half price'. It took me about 10 minutes to get her number. I pass it on to him."
Thornley added, "And, sure enough, the end of season comes and I ask if the deal is still good. He's sticking to it. I give him 30,000 pounds for a 60,000 pounds car. The next day I sold it for 60,000 pounds!"
