The scandal has cost him his captaincy, but not his marriage, which he seeks to repair.

A lawyer for Vanessa Perroncel, the woman at the centre of the John Terry scandal, is investigating the possibility that Perroncel had her mobile phone hacked by journalists.

The model's phone and those of her friends showed signs of being illegally accessed, Charlotte Harris of JMW Solicitors told MediaGuardian.co.uk. There was evidence that information from voicemail messages had appeared in national newspaper articles, she said.

Harris also represents Perroncel's agent Max Clifford, who last week won a court action allowing him access to documents concerning the News of the World phone-hacking case, which saw a private investigator used by the paper, Glenn Mulcaire, and the paper's royal editor, Clive Goodman, jailed.
