Would-be Marathon runner Paula Radcliffe, 28, appears to have deceived us all, or so said sources close to the roly-poly athlete last night. Close friend, Emma Gency, 28, revealed that Paula's bizarre pull-out of the Olympic marathon was actually the result of a drunken pact made with her last year.
"No matter how good I make it look, if I stop on the 36km mark whilst in fourth place, you'll know I was making good on my promise."
Gency insists that these are the words of her chum Paula, who will now demand that Emma delivers on her side of the bargain by seducing and bedding ex-Prime Minister John Major - thus following in the footsteps of ex-health minister and failed "Devil's Kitchen" chef Edwina Currie.
"We'd often laughed and joked about Paula simply stopping during the Marathon at the Olympics" spake the distressed pactee, "At one point she claimed she would simply laugh, walk off the course and go and buy a burger or something. I notice she didn't do that, but I am amazed she went through with it."
Paula Radcliffe was presented with these developments late last night, but has so far refused to comment. Her silence tells its own story. Honestly, she's so naughty.
Grr - can't see what you were saying about Paula cos her pic is stuck over your text?
