Poor Lisa

Quote:

BROTHER star Mario Marconi’s wedding plans were in chaos last night over claims he spent a night with a busty blonde following a snog in a hotel bar.

A sensational video has emerged of the muscleman locking lips with Victoria Anderson – just hours before he proposed to long-term lover Lisa Appleton live on TV on August 24.

The pair kissed minutes after her boyfriend left the table.

And by the time her lover Duncan Hoare returned from having a cigarette outside the hotel bar they’d vanished.

Devastated Duncan now wants to know exactly what happened later on between Victoria, 23, and Mario, 43.

In an admission that will devastate Lisa, last night Mario admitted kissing the girl.

But he denied doing anything else claiming the girl had "set him up."

CCTV footage from the hotel appears to show the pair getting into a lift together before disappearing into one of the bedrooms.

Canadian-born Victoria, who flew back to her homeland just two days after her encounter with Mario, didn’t return to her own room for nearly FIVE hours.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star Sunday Duncan, a 39-year-old engineer, reveals how he had befriended Mario while staying at the Premier Inn Hotel in Borehamwood, Herts.

He said he had no problem introducing Mario, real name Shaun Astbury, to his girlfriend because he was so excited about proposing to Lisa the following day.

But as soon as his back was turned Mario and Victoria disappeared. He has no idea exactly what went on during the five hours that Victoria was with Mario and like Lisa, he’s now desperate to get to the bottom of it.

Distraught Duncan, who met Victoria last April, said: "She was the love of my life. “I still can’t believe it. I have good days and bad days but most of the time I just feel numb.

"It’s taken a lot of courage for me to come forward and talk about what’s happened.

“I think that Lisa is going to be shattered. I think it’s important that she finds out the truth before she makes the biggest mistake of her life.

“We’re both in the same boat and I’m here for her if she needs to talk to me about what happened that night.

“Victoria was an incredible lover.

"She’s a very passionate woman and is comfortable doing all sorts of things in the bedroom.

"She was always very creative. I have nightmares about them together.”

Duncan revealed how he had first met Mario a couple of days after he was evicted from the Big Brother house.

He bumped into him again the night at the London hotel before he proposed.

He added: “I use the Premier Inn Hotel all the time as it’s close to where my family live. We started chatting in the bar and I thought he seemed like a nice bloke.

“When I bumped into him again a few weeks later it was like we were old friends.

"Vic and I spent the evening in the hotel bar until eventually Mario was the only other person left up. So we sat down at the same table and carried on chatting. He kept going on about how he was going to propose to Lisa. He even showed us the engagement ring.

“Mario said that Big Brother had put the pressure on him to propose and he was worried how it would look if Lisa turned him down.

“But he still seemed excited about what he was about to do so I had no worries about him and Victoria.

"The thought that something might happen between them didn’t even enter my head. I was up and down quite a lot as I smoke but I wasn’t worried about leaving Vic and Mario alone.

“It was approaching 4am when I suggested that we should all call it a night. I then went out for another cigarette. I must’ve been outside for about four or five minutes but when I came back into the bar they were both gone.

“I looked around everywhere and asked the night porter if he knew where they’d gone but he said he hadn’t seen anything.

"I rushed up to my room hoping that Vic would be inside waiting for me but she wasn’t. I then came back downstairs and searched everywhere for her.

"I even went outside and started calling her name. I couldn’t believe it. One minute she was sat there with Mario the next she was gone.

"After a while I decided to head back to my room and wait for her to return. I must’ve crashed out about 5am and didn’t wake up until she started knocking on the door at around 8.30am. She looked a right state.

"Her hair was all messed up and she said she didn’t want to talk.

“I asked her if she’d been with Mario but she told me some story about meeting a group of people in the lift who invited her back to their room for a party.

"We had a massive row before she crashed out. I just didn’t know what to do. She then crashed out and I started going over the events in my head. She made me feel like I was being stupid for even thinking that she’d been with Mario let alone accusing her of it.

"Victoria was due to fly back to Canada a couple of days later and I tried my best to put the whole incident behind me. But after she’d gone I realised that I had to know what had happened.

“I was planning to join her in Canada where I was going to meet her parents for the first time so I had to know before I committed any more of my life to Victoria.

"I managed to get hold of the security tapes and was devastated when they semmed to confirm my worst fears.

"I’ve watched the tape over and over and he’s the one who comes onto her. "I’d certainly get some kind of satisfaction bashing him up. But that’s just not me.

"That’s why I decided to speak out about what he got up to with Vic. “Everyone, especially Lisa needs to know the truth."

When confronted about the story Mario said: "I remember the night. I was in the bar and getting a lot of attention.

"Everyone wanted to chat to me because I’d been in the Big Brother house. I remember this girl being very over friendly with me. I kissed a lot of people that night and that’s all it was with her. Thinking back it all seems a bit strange.

"If I was her boyfriend I wouldn’t have gone back to my room if my girlfriend had disappeared with another man. Why didn’t he knock down every door looking for her? It’s all a set up.”
