Former Man United masseur claims Cristiano Ronaldo ‘asked him for the phone numbers of Pussycat Dolls star and Dannii Minogue in exchange for a reduced price on his Porsche supercar – which he sold the next day for a profit of £20,000!’
- Cristiano Ronaldo traded his Porsche for two women’s numbers, it is claimed
- Ex-Man United masseur ‘got Ronaldo numbers from Pussycat Dolls singer’
- Rod Thornley says the superstar striker gave him the car for half price
That has been claimed by a former Manchester United employee Cristiano Ronaldo traded his Porsche for the phone numbers of a Pussycat dolls star and Danny Minogue.
Ronaldo’s first spell for the Premier League giants came between 2003 and 2009, when he developed from a scrawny teenager into one of the best players in the world before moving to Real Madrid for a then-world record £80 million.
The Portuguese superstar became one of the most marketable athletes in the world at the time, dating former glamor model Gemma Atkinson in 2007.
But the attacker also dated several other celebrities – including two glamorous singers – and apparently asked former United masseur Rod Thornley to give him their numbers.
Thornley, speaking at the Under the Cosh podcast on YouTube, claimed that Ronaldo approached him for the figures of Pussycat Dolls singer Kimberly Wyatt and Kylie Minogue’s sister Dannii – and was supposedly rewarded for his cooperation.

Thornley apparently also got hold of Ronaldo Dannii Minogue’s numbers, but their data fell out
He said: ‘He’s having a massage with me and the X Factor is on TV. “Who Is This Girl?” It was Dannii Minogue, sister of Kylie Minogue. “Okay, can you give me her number?” I’m like, “I’m a Man United masseur”.
“But I’m a man of many resources and in four or five days I’ll have Dannii Minogue’s number on my phone. So I give it to him. They went on a few dates and stuff. In the end nothing came of it.
“About four or five months later, we are in March or April, he leaves Real Madrid. We all know he’s out at the end of the season. So he says to me as the X Factor is back on Saturday night and it was Kimberly Wyatt from Pussycat Dolls, “Can you give me her number?”
“So I’m like, ‘What’s in this for me? I’m getting your girls’ numbers all over the place and I’m not getting anything out of this.’ He said, “Do you like my car?” “He had a Porsche convertible. He said: “If I go to Real Madrid, I will sell it to you for half price”. It took me about 10 minutes to get her number. Pass it on to him.
“Of course the end of the season is coming and I ask if the deal is still good. Yes, he sticks to it, but yes, 30,000 I give him for a 60,000 car. The next day I sold it for 50,000!’
Dannii Minogue presented X Factor UK between 2007 and 2010, while Wyatt was part of the hugely successful California girl band Pussycat Dolls until they split in 2010.
Ronaldo’s current partner is Georgina Rodriguez, whom he met when she worked as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.
A source close to Cristiano Ronaldo says the claims are not true.
Thornley said Ronaldo rewarded him by selling him his £60,000 Porsche supercar for half price
