Ultimo bra tycoon Michelle Mone has made shocking revelation that Shane Warne had asked her to "go to the bedroom," at their very first meeting, a request which she denied.
In her soon to be published memoir 'My Fight To The Top,' Mone, 43, revealed that she was "fixed up" with 45-year-old cricketer, through a mutual friend, cricket commentator and former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan, and since they couldn't meet straight away, they had spent two months constantly communicating over the phone, News.com.au reported.
Mone, whose 22-year marriage had just ended at the time, said that she got a text message from Warne that he had arrived a day early to "sort some things out" with former fiancee Liz Hurley.
Since it was Valentine's Day, she wondered whether he was two-timing her, and was furious when he stood her up, and the pictures of Warne and Hurley in the followed in morning newspapers.
She continued that he met her later that day in her suite in the hotel, to which she had reluctantly agreed giving him the benefit of the doubt, and when he finally came, after a bottle of champagne and him smoking about 35 cigarettes, he asked "Can we go next door to the bedroom?"
Mone said that she made it clear to him that was not that kind of girl and he was not her type. He added that it taught her never to start texting a guy without meeting him first.
