Danny Cipriani’s estranged wife Victoria Rose has filed for divorce, nine months after their split.
In a bombshell new interview, Victoria, 42, claimed the former rugby player blew £600 a month on drugs, messaged other women and admitted she felt ‘humiliated’ when he moved on with American actress AnnaLynne McCord.
Danny, 36, has previously admitted to taking cocaine, a crystallised toad psychedelic and to having so many magic mushrooms that he became convinced his Victoria was trying to kill him.
Speaking about how his drug habit took a toll on their three year marriage, Victoria told The Sun: ‘I got so sick of it. It started to upset me. Everyday he said he wouldn’t do drugs. Then by midday he’d be back on them.’
Victoria said Danny would eat mushroom laced chocolate bars and she wouldn’t know if he was on them or not as he ‘would function so well’.

She said: ‘One day he took a large amount and just lay on the floor. I thought I would be able to help him and he said he wanted to stop taking drugs. Danny was taking loads of prescription drugs and I just said, “Enough is enough.”
Victoria admitted their marriage became increasingly strained when he stopped playing for Bath, claiming she noticed messages from other women on his phone.
The row which ended their marriage in November, she says, was sparked by her becoming worried over his closeness with other women at a self help event.
Victoria admitted she shouted at the other women ‘he’s my husband’, before later rifling through his phone where she says she found flirty messages to others.
She admitted she feels she had the ‘wool pulled over her eyes’ after ignoring his previous Lothario past.
‘I was shocked, heartbroken. They werent sexts but they were telling women they were beautiful, and about the connections he felt to them. Not the kind of thing you want to read your husband sending,’ Victoria said.
Victoria said they had a huge row and Danny left the house with just four pairs of jogging bottoms.
‘I knew his reputation but thought he was a new person,’ she admitted.
Months later, Danny confirmed his relationship with AnnaLynne, 36, with the couple documenting their whirlwind relationship on Instagram, leaving Victoria feeling ‘humiliated’

Months later, Danny confirmed his relationship with AnnaLynne, 36, with the couple documenting their whirlwind relationship on Instagram, leaving Victoria feeling ‘humiliated’.
Victoria, who is set to appear on the Netflix show Bear Hunt, went on to describe how she first got together with Danny after meeting via a mutual friend in 2019.
After a dalliance, Victoria learned she pregnant during Covid, with Danny’s child, a baby boy.
She said she told Danny, who was in Malibu at the time, of her news with him being committed to making a relationship work.
She moved into his home in Cheltenham.
They tragically lost their son in June 2020, who they named River, at 23 weeks.
Victoria, who has two children of her own and is also a grandmother, said they then went through gruelling rounds of IVF to try to have a child.
They got married in 2021 with Victoria revealing Danny bought her a whopping three engagement rings.
MailOnline has contacted Danny’s representatives for comment.
The couple share snippets of their relationship on social media and have been seen out and about together on numerous occa
At the time of the split, Danny released a statement to announce the news, telling his Instagram followers that he ‘only wished the best’ for his ex.
Victoria then announced that shockingly, she was ‘made aware of the situation at the same time as the public’ in a now deleted post.
The media personality opened up about the difficult time and apologised for her ’emotionally charge response.’
She wrote: ‘Danny publicly announced our split without any prior notice or discussion with me. I was made aware of the situation at the same time as the public, and this has caused me a great deal of pain.
‘I apologise if my reactions and responses have seemed reactive or emotionally charged.
‘The truth is, I am still going through a difficult time, and it is challenging for me to see Danny speaking about our separation publicly while I have not yet found the strength to process it, adjust or heal.
Victoria concluded: ‘I really don’t want to be caught up in the fanfare. Sorry for any hurt I have caused.’
