An ex-girlfriend of abusive rugby star Stuart Hogg said he led a double life for three years by pretending to be happily married while secretly seeing her.

Jilly O’Donnell said she found out he was still with his wife when the ex-Scotland international captain gave a TV interview to reveal they were expecting their fourth child.The family man and rugby ace, 32, was outed last week as a controlling and manipulative abuser after he pled guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse against now estranged wife Gillian.If the case had gone to trial, the ex-British and Irish Lions star would have also faced a charge of bombarding Jilly, 47, with hundreds of messages and a barrage of repeated phone calls over a 17-month period despite her begging him to stop.Jilly has now decided to speak out about the torment she suffered at the hands of Hogg in the belief that many other women have fallen victim to him.Jilly, a student nurse from Newcastle, said: “His actions and behaviour have caused so much hurt and anger to so many women.

He knows that but somehow, he will still end up being the victim.”She met Hogg when he started liking her photographs on Instagram during the pandemic in 2020.

A single parent to three adult children, she said she was in a vulnerable position during lockdown but was flattered by the attention from Hogg who was 15 years younger than her.Hogg, who was a full-back with Premiership side Exeter Chiefs at the time, told Jilly that he was separated but still living with his wife for the sake of their three young children.She said: “We confided in each other, became best friends.
