Betrayed... and all alone: Toni Terry looks downcast in Dubai

Glum: Toni Terry by the hotel pool in Dubai yesterday

The sun may have been shining. The pool temperature was perfect.

But John Terry's betrayed wife Toni appeared to be under the darkest of personal clouds in Dubai yesterday.

Pictured for the first time since the revelations of her husband's affair, she barely raised a smile as she lay by the side of her five-star hotel's pool while her three-year-old twins played around her.

While they splashed and laughed, Mrs Terry, 28, remained stern-faced and appeared to be lost in her own thoughts.

The glamorous brunette, who has known Terry since childhood and had gone out with him for 11 years - wore a skimpy black and pink bikini which revealed her stunning figure.

And in a sign that may give the England captain hope he can save his marriage, she continued to wear her large diamond engagement ring.

She is, however, said to have consulted divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton - who represented Prince Charles, Madonna and Sir Paul McCartney.

The Mirror last night reported that Mrs Terry has had a change of heart and has agreed to take her husband back, telling him: 'You've got one last chance.'

During an emotional 45-minute phone call, Mrs Terry told him that if he ever strays again she will walk out with their three-year-old twins Georgie John and Summer Rose.
A friend told the newspaper: 'Toni's given him the benefit of the doubt.

'JT insists it was a silly fling and didn't mean anything. She's chosen to believe his version rather than what everyone else is telling her.

'Frankly, she's been through all this before but not as bad as this. But the sting in the tail is that if he steps out of line again she will throw him out and make sure he has as little contact with his kids as possible.

'That's the thing that will force him to focus. He loves his kids more than anything. Toni has also told him that she doesn't want him speaking publicly about it and if there is any apologising to be done, it will be to her.'

Mrs Terry fled to Dubai with her children, her parents and two friends in a bid to escape the furore over her husband's affair with former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge's ex-partner Vanessa Perroncel.

The sun-kissed Gulf state holds happy memories for the Terrys. The couple got engaged there, went there for holidays and recently bought a beachfront apartment on the city's outlandish Palm development.

However, on this trip Toni has chosen to stay in a hotel.

It has been reported that Terry has been granted special dispensation to miss one of Chelsea's matches so he can travel to Dubai to try to patch up the marriage.

Once a party animal...Dirty dancing with a brunette in a club and draped over blondes at a bar, this was John Terry enjoying his stag party.

Just one week before he tied the knot in 2007 with his childhood sweetheart Toni Poole, Terry was trying his luck with women during his time in Portugal.

Although he was with his team-mates it was the women in the club he was more interested in spending time with.

And if this was not enough to worry his bride-to-be, his behaviour post-wedding should have sent out a warning as he shunned a romantic honeymoon with Toni.

Instead the Barking boy, who has a penchant for gambling, went to Las Vegas with teammates Wayne Bridge, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joe Cole
