Phil Collins' ex-wife hired a male stripper for sex and introduced him to the music superstar as her friend. The stripper, 29-year old Preston Thompson, made some explosive revelations to The Sun, as he says he had a 14-month affair with Orianne Cevey, 46, after she hired him from an escort agency while she was living with Collins. He said she showered him with gifts that included a $90,000 (£70,000) Mercedes G-Wagon and expensive designer clothes. Not just this, she also took him away on a private jet to the Bahamas and made him her date to Sir Elton John’s A-list Oscars party, without Collins having a clue. Thompson adds that she also invited him for clandestine visits to Phil’s £30million waterside mansion while he was away. Orianne married amateur musician Thomas Bates, 31, in August despite continuing to live with Phil Collins and is now battling him for millions in court.

Thompson told The Sun, “Orianne is trying to ruin Phil’s life. He took care of her, gave her millions of dollars, and now she wants more. I think she still wants to live that rock-star life, but Phil is done with that and has settled down. Orianne’s still young and wants to go out and party with good-looking guys. She has treated Phil like he is lower than dirt. She is two-faced.”

Collins and Swiss-born Orianne, who met in 1994 when she was his translator, divorced in 2008 — with the Genesis drummer and vocalist forced to concede $32 million (£25million) to her. Collins and Orianne, who have two children, kick-started their romance all over again eight years after their divorce. Orianne moved into Collins's mansion. However, not all was sunny in this paradise, as she is said to have hired former model and part-time stripper Thompson through his “companion” agency — called Fantasy Date — in March last year.

They met at the five-star Wynn Las Vegas hotel, where Thompson says they had sex after their first date. Thompson, who has private strip shows under the name Bradley owing to his likeness to Hollywood star Bradley Cooper, told The Sun: “We hit it off right away. I was introduced to Orianne by her assistants up in a double master suite overlooking the city and was told she had been married to Phil Collins."

"She had a cane in her hand and she wasn’t really able to walk very well because she’d had surgery and she was in rehabilitation. We had drinks and room service. I stayed the night there with Orianne. She paid a couple of thousand for the companionship that night but didn’t pay me for the sex because my time was over," he added. He added that they began seeing each other, and it was not just a 'sexual' relationship, they actually began enjoying their time with each other. She would tell Phil Collins that she was out on 'business trips' and that he 'didn't care'. Apparently, she told Thompson that they weren't really together and it was just for the kids. "Orianne wanted to have sex all the time, but with younger people than Phil," he said.

Thompson, who met the couple's children, added: “I was introduced to Phil as just her friend. We shook hands and it was awkward. I had a feeling maybe he knew." He said that she wanted to marry him, within two months of dating. He added: “I didn’t want to be known as a toyboy. I turned her down again and again. She said, ‘You don’t love me, you’re just here for my money’. But I said, ‘If I was here for your money, I’d have married you the first time you asked!’” He claimed that she would fly into a rage if he denied sex, and was even jealous of his cat.  Their relationship came to an end in May, after he supposedly caught her cheating. He was later shocked to know that she was marrying her new lover, Bates. In a partial settlement of her court battle with Collins, she agreed to be out by mid-January.
