Howard Donald Accused of Cheating on Partner

London, March 15 – After Mark Owen, his ‘Take That’ bandmate Howard Donald has been accused of cheating his long-term partner.

Donald is said to have cheated on his girlfriend Marie-Christine Musswessels, the mother of his youngest daughter Lola, before they split in late 2009.

Merith Van Onselen alleges she had an affair with the singer while he was still involved with Musswessels, reports dailystar.co.uk.

She revealed that they met when he was working as a DJ in Berlin, Germany, in July, 2008. They had an eight-month affair after he bombarded her with saucy e-mails.

Van Onselen, who has now split from her husband, said: ‘The first time I met him I told him I was married and he pulled a sad face. I thought that was the end of it. We kept running into each other at different DJ nights. He would say I was beautiful and special.

‘Then one day I gave in. It was the start of a passionate relationship. Howard spoke a lot about feeling guilty about Marie. He was so confused and kept saying to me, ‘Look at the big picture, you are married and I am still in a relationship.”

Van Onselen claims the romance ended in October, shortly before the star split from his girlfriend.
