Shane Warne has been accused of having another affair and sending lewd text messages to the woman - this time as the star cricketer was trying to save his marriage.

Just three days after Warne and his wife Simone announced they were separating after almost 10 years of marriage, a new report alleges Test cricket's greatest wicket-taker had a steamy two-month fling with blonde Kerrie Collimore, and sent her 48 text messages.

The pair had sex on the bonnet of his BMW in a lay-by, London's Daily Mirror newspaper reported.

Shane and Simone Warne announced their separation last Saturday - a week after revelations the legspinner had sex with 25-year-old London student Laura Sayers.

Warne is now accused of having an affair with sales boss Collimore, 31, and sending her explicit text messages in April and May, before he stopped using his mobile phone.

An unnamed, close friend of Collimore's was quoted in the Mirror: "He couldn't keep his hands off her. He wanted sex everywhere - outside, inside, wherever he could."

The friend said Warne met Collimore at a nightclub in Southampton, where he is based with county side Hampshire, and he began sending her text messages soon after.

"Shane fell for her as soon as he saw her," the friend said.

"She'd no idea who he was and when she found out wasn't bothered.

"Shane wouldn't leave her alone. The phone was on fire with his messages. Kerrie couldn't believe how raunchy he was. He had the hots for her big time. She didn't know anything about his past and thought he was separated."
