Far more productive off the pitch than on it, it would seem.
From the News of the World:
CANCER scare model Danielle Lloyd's heartless soccer star lover is CHEATING on her, we can reveal.
Charlton Athletic striker Marcus Bent has been sneaking away from the distraught beauty's side to bed an air hostess.
While tearful former Miss Great Britain Danielle, 23, was facing an op to have an implant removed after docs found a suspicious swelling, rat Bent, 28, was comforting her one minute then bombarding 33-year-old Kirsty Fisher with saucy texts the next.
And the former England Under-21 star slept with the brunette at his room in the Lowry Hotel, Salford on Friday, April 27, before Charlton's game at Blackburn Rovers.
"He was so randy in his texts — he kept asking Kirsty to send him close-up pictures of her body," a pal of the air hostess told us.
"He asked her to turn at up at the hotel in a long coat and high heeled shoes.
"But when they got down to it the sex was over very fast. Kirsty told me she felt a bit used."
Our revelations will stun brave Danielle who has now been given the all-clear after surgeons found no trace of cancer when they replaced her 34FF implant.
She is pictured strolling hand-in-hand with him in the sunshine earlier this week — touching her breast as if still in some pain from the surgery.
Secret
Now she faces the heartache of knowing that all the time his thoughts have been focused on another woman.
Bent, 28, first met mum-of-one Kirsty at Brasingamens nightclub in Alderley Edge, Cheshire — a favourite haunt for footballers — when he was playing for Everton and while he was living with his then fiancée Kelly Clark.
He has been in a secret on-off relationship with Kirsty ever since — arranging trysts with her whenever Charlton play in the north west.
She also visited him at his room at the Marriott in Hale, Cheshire, three weeks ago before the south London club played Manchester City.
But now Kirsty has shown Bent the red card—after demanding that he chooses between her and Danielle.
She told a friend: "I've had enough, I am sick of him making me feel cheap. I've told him it's over."
Kirsty's pal told us: "Kirsty is a lovely girl and is appalled by the thought she could be hurting someone else. When she first met Marcus when he was at Everton he told her he was still living with his fiancée but they were separating. That's why she agreed to keep seeing him.
"When he moved to London last year they began to see less of each other—but the relationship picked up again over the last few months and Marcus has even been talking about going on a summer holiday together.
"But when Kirsty found out he was seeing Danielle she was devastated and wanted to know where she stood. The trouble is Marcus wants to have his cake and eat it."
Kirsty began cooling on Bent the night he asked her over to the Marriott before the Manchester City game.
"Kirsty went to his room but didn't like his attitude. He was basically saying ‘get your clothes off love' so she left," says the friend.
Days later Bent texted her asking her to come down to his home in London. "Then he changed his mind and said they should stay in a hotel. Kirsty got as far as Birmingham and turned back. She said it didn't feel right," says her pal.
Dumped
"She did sleep with him at the Lowry but now says it has made her feel cheap and she regrets it. She now realises Marcus is just a womaniser and has had enough of him."
Bent — who has been seeing Danielle since she was dumped by West Ham star Teddy Sheringham after her flop on Celebrity Big Brother — took Danielle to Highgate Hospital, north London for her operation on Monday.
Danielle had further surgery on her left breast and another biopsy was taken by doctors. But the blonde model was given the all-clear.
After the op, cheating Bent took Danielle on a shopping spree near her home in Essex. An onlooker said: "They were holding hands and didn't care who saw them together."
Danielle may certainly care about holding hands with Bent again after today.
When we tried to talk to Kirsty about her relationship with Bent she refused to comment and said: "I don't talk to newspapers."
When we approached Bent he admitted knowing Kirsty but added: "I've got various girlfriends that I text — it doesn't mean I have a relationship with them."

If one man could sum up what is wrong with the Premiership, it's him.
I agree and for me Marcus Bent has to be one of my most hated players in the Premiership, yeah I'd include Robbie Savage and maybe a few others, but how sad is that he is someone who actually plays for us? I can't think of another Charlton player I've ever had to include in a list of 'Premiership's most hated'. Yeah we've had plenty of cack players but Marcus Bent takes the biscuit. He is totally untrustworthy on the pitch because he never does the business and evidently he is completely untrustworthy off the pitch as well.
I can't wait for the day our club gets rid of this clown.
A footballer / or young male in the public eye shagging around is certainly not a novelty. It has always happened and always will. Had Marcus the ability to score a few goals, we would all be laughing at these stories and saying 'nice one Marcus'.
The difference is here we are simply not used to players who have had any form of media spotlight before. It is no real relevence to us what players get up to in their own time, if a fella who isn't married and has money to burn wants to blow it on fast cars and faster women, its entirely up to him.
Is it effecting his performance ? Not really, they've always been questionable, but he has probably performed better under Pardew than under Curbs, Dowie or Reed. They only thing that was questionable was if it was true that he was out clubbing very soon after going off injured. If that was true, then you question his desire, but we are relying on a gossip column of a freebie newspaper for the truth. I suspect if it was true, Pardew would not of had him feature the next week.
I am certainly not a fan of Marcus Bent, he has not scored enough goals on the pitch, and hasn't come across as desperate enough to want to get us out of this situation. He won't be here next season.
But just because he is shagging celebrity birds is not the reason to think of him as scum.
"If you have been in the Premiership five years and you sign another player from a Premiership club on a four-year contract they are not coming to you assuming you are going down."
Bent signed a three and a half year contract, so maybe he (and Reid and others) will fall into this category.
Get the feeling he won't be rushing to go anywhere else...?
Give me a feckin break.
He can shag half of Manchester after the game but he should be focussed on his performance before it, he's supposed to be a professional.
Do you really think Ferguson or Mourinho would allow their players to get away with that the night before a crucial game?
Agree with the post above. This man is the epitomy of everything that is wrong with football today. A talentless nobody who never seems to even do the basics of his job, yet he is paid millions and acts like some sort of bigshot superstar.
Total w*nker.
SEE THE ARTICLE.......
And the former England Under-21 star slept with the brunette at his room in the Lowry Hotel, Salford on Friday, April 27, before Charlton's game at Blackburn Rovers.
We played them on APRIL 28th - the DAY AFTER!!!!!
No guarantee this story is true, though somehow its hard to believe it wasn't.
He acts like he doesn't want to be a footballer, he wants to be a D-list celebrity, and just makes the bare minimum of effort with his game in order to justify the big pay cheques that fund his lifestyle. For a short while I thought Pards might get the best out of him, but he's just reverted to type again. I despise the man.
He hasn't been anywhere near what we need from a player, but neither have so many others this season.
I agree that he carries himself on and off the pitch in a pretty embarrassing manner but Marcus Bent alone was never going to keep us up!
He is part of the problem, not the entire problem itself.
I think his on field performances though have illustrated just how good Shaun Bartlett was for us.
Plenty of people slagged him off too though as I remember.
But, he's not George Best is he? He's a journeyman striker (ha!) who should be 100% focussed on his preparation so that he can produce his absolute best when he gets on the pitch, that's all we ask of him for his 20,000 per week and he can't even do that.
Does anyone really think that a top pro like DiCanio would have spent the night before a game banging some slut? No, of course he would not.
pardew must of known he was here and given him the ok to go out
ormiston i suggest you be very careful calling people sluts mate - internet slander is on the up.
The difference with Di Canio is he would not have been caught
and i think you are going over the top in all honesty.
If you seriously think that having a first-team player cavorting with some bird the night before the most crucial game of the season is OK and is acting professionally then you are very much mistaken.
Talking about slander, I suggest you ask Di Canio himself if he would ever have gotten up to that sort of stuff the night before a crucial game, as you suggest he would have?
He would be horrified and massively offended because he [as you will see from reading any football book that mentions him, including Curbs autobiography] took his preparation extremely seriously and would never be so unprofessional as to be getting up to that sort of stuff so close to a key game. In Italy they stay in a hotel away from distractions before EVERY game to avoid this sort of thing.
I am good mates with a former pro Rugby League player here in Brissie [he only retired 2 years back] and I asked him a while ago what he would think if one of his team mates was on the job the night before a "semi-final" [as they call the play offs here]. He said [and I quote], "He'd better have a fucking good game or we'd string him up by the fucking balls."
Mate, Marcus Bent can screw every bird in the UK for all I care but NOT THE NIGHT BEFORE our biggest game of the season and not when its the GAME I TRAVELLED 10,000 MILES TO WATCH HIM IN.
