Lote Tuqiri rushes back to Australia after affair with Irish TV star

Former Wallaby Lote Tuqiri has been named as the man involved in a scandalous affair with an Irish TV starlet.

It is believed Tuqiri has flown back to Australia to rescue his marriage with wife, Rebekka, after news of his infidelity with Dr Danielle Meagher.

Known as ‘Dr Botox’, the Dublin Wives star told News Ltd she was unaware the rugby league and rugby union player was married.

"I did not know this man was married, I'm shocked, saddened and disappointed. I have no further comment," Meagher said.

The father of two who played a handful of games for Leinster Rugby this year, was reportedly involved in an affair with Meagher for a month, after meeting in a nightclub in Dublin.

Meagher only found out he was married with children last week.

"Danielle is a true professional and had no idea he was married until last week," a friend of Meagher told News Ltd.

"She didn't know who he was when they met.

"Danielle isn't a party girl. He was a complete gentleman at first.”

"He told her he was going to fall hard for her and she told him to relax, there are worse things in life than two people being in love and falling for each other. But then he told her he has a wife."

Tuqiri refused to respond to media on the subject.
