Shane Warne doesn't waste time. Less than a month into Warne's English county cricket season another sex story has appeared in the British tabloids.
Pictures in Sunday's edition of the tabloid News of the World show Warne and two 25-year-old models involved in sexual positions with a blow up toy, allegedly taken on Thursday night.
The alleged sexual episode occured in west London during Warne's Hampshire game against Middlesex when he claimed 7-99.
One of the models, Coralie Eiccholtz, has known Warne for a few years but said things only started heating up after she learnt that the cricketer had separated from wife Simone.
"I've known him for years but nothing happened before because I knew he was married," said the New-Zealand born Eiccholtz.
"But since his split he's been texting like mad. He even sent me one during a match."
The other model Emma Kearney praised Warne's performance.
"Shane's a stallion and very willing to experiment. He loved playing around with the inflatable and was up for anything," she said.
After the 10-wicket win over Middlesex, Warne claimed he was suffering.
He said in an interview: "If I'm honest, I'm tired out."
Warne's management did not immediately return calls today.
Warne has a history littered with sexual and mobile phone indiscretions, most of them occurring either on tour or in the UK during a county cricket stint.
A series of tales were published in various tabloids prior to and during the Ashes series last year, leading to the end of his marriage to Simone.
The champion legspinner was dumped by sponsor the Nine Network during the Ashes for his off-field behaviour.
There is speculation the Nine Network are in negotiation to re-sign the Victorian, but that was before his latest scandal made headlines.
One of his current sponsors, Messages On Hold, reaffirmed their commitment to Warne today.
"Obviously what Shane does in his private life as a single man is up to him. Certainly his conduct at staff and client functions has been nothing short of exemplary," said managing director Kym Illman.
"Whilst we are acutely aware that some people will react negatively to this latest news report, we are focused on his undeniable cricketing brilliance and the powerful impact he has on the vast majority of our clients."
