But the Brummie-born snapper is now back with the troubled pop star, and now his secret girlfriend, model and actress, Amanda Pagel, has spoken out for the first time revealing that Adnan lied to her about his relationship with Britney denying it was sexual.

Amanda revealed how Adnan used to leave her straight after they had sex, to go to see Britney, and that he "pitied" her, and wanted to run away to Italy with his secret girlfriend.

In an interview with Look magazine Amanda said: "I'd just split up with my boyfriend, but I was lonely and wanted to make new friends."

He promised Amanda his relationship with Britney was not sexual and kept reminding Amanda of what a hard time he was having.

"We started texting 40-50 times a day, just jokes to start off with, then flirty messages. I'd text "can't wait to see you" and he'd reply pretty much the same thing. We saw each other pretty much every day."

She soon fell for Adnan calling him a "fantastic kisser" and "really smooth". As the pair grew closer, Adnan always visited her at her home, but they never went out in public so as not to "betray" Britney.

But he clearly didn't find it difficult to betray his feelings about the singer to Amanda.

She explained: "'He kept saying: As soon as she's better and back on her own two feet doing her own thing, we can go public.

"And he told me he 'pitied' her and felt really sorry for her. She'd been through a lot and he used to say he was the only one that she trusted."

And he suggested to Amanda that they run away together, and start a new life in Italy, where they could start a family.

Amanda said Adnan would "leave pretty quickly, after we had sex, and I think he used to head straight to Britney's."

She revealed that Britney sent Adnan hundreds of texts daily, and phoned him constantly.

She said: "Britney used to call all the time when he was over at mine. He'd answer immediately and walk into another room to speak - he always whispered into his mobile and shut the door."

But Amanda only realised she had been taken in by the 'smooth' Brummie, when she woke up to find the story splashed all over the media about the row between Britney and Adnan after the singer found their flirty texts on his mobile phone.

Britney allegedly flew into a rage, throwing the photographer's iPhone into her pool after discovering the suggestive messages.

Heartbroken Amanda said: "I felt sick. I knew the texts were one's we'd sent to each other. I used to send him texts saying "I miss your kisses" and couple y stuff like that but when I found out that Britney had seen them I freaked out and called him immediately."

Adnan promised her the story was untrue, but when days later another story broke claiming Britney was pregnant Amanda realised that that there were "three of us in this relationship - and I would never be a priority."

And callous Adnan even tried to justify his behaviour telling heartbroken Amanda "It's just time-share", confirming to Amanda that he had been sleeping with Britney all along.

Soon after a picture of Adnan leaving Amanda's home was released to the media and cowardly Adnan told her they should put things on hold until everything "blows over".

Amanda said; "I kept asking him why I had to wait for it to blow over - people were going to think of me as the girl who stole Britney's boyfriend, and that wasn't the case.

"I know he'll go mad when he reads this, but I want people to know I didn't steal Britney's boyfriend."

The pair are still in contact, with Adnan texting Amanda recently to wish her a happy 21st birthday. And a text the other day which said: "I miss you...your face, your smile, the taste of your lips, but most of all I miss your heart."

And Amanda offered some advice to the troubled star, who has since reunited with the cheating photographer.

She said: "I'd tell Britney to be careful who she trusts. I don't believe he wasn't sleeping with Britney. I just hope she doesn't get hurt like I did."
