ONE of England's footballers secretly enjoyed a relationship with a Made In Chelsea beauty, two stars from the show have revealed.
Mason Mount, 25, had a string of dates with one of the girls from the E4 reality show - but it fizzled out because he wasn't 'bad boy enough' for her.
Made In Chelsea stars Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam spilt the tea on their co-star and Mason while gossiping together on a podcast.
And although they didn't name their "very best friend", fans are convinced they have worked out who had a fling with the Manchester United star - Sophie and Melissa's pal Ruby Adler.
Ruby, 28, has starred on Made In Chelsea since 2020 and fans will know her for her on/off long-term relationship with Reza Amiri-Garrousi.

They have now split for good and she has also been linked to co-stars Charlie Wicks, Bali-based model Renan Severo and - most notably - Miles Nazaire.
Ruby has also been snapped Love Island's Tom Clare and is said to have fallen briefly for convicted drug dealer Nicholas Sinclair.
Sophie and Melissa have shared a clip from their podcast, Wednesdays Podcast, on TikTok and say their friend dated Mason in the lead up to the 2021 Euros.
Sophie reveals: "One of our very best friends was fully dating Mason Mount."
Melissa added: "He really liked her and took her to an immersive experience for their first date. How niche is that? There was no alcohol or anything."
Sophie remembered that her pal went straight from her house to the date, before Melissa said that it was around the time of the 2021 Euros.
"That's why it was such a big deal!" Melissa said.
Sophie explained that Mason "wasn't drinking" because of the European Championships, with Melissa adding: "It was really tricky first date territory.
"One, you're going with a huge star.... [and] he brought his little brother."
Melissa described Mason as "very young," while Sophie chipped in: "I think very innocent and just not quite bad boy enough not for our friend."

Melissa agreed with Sophie's summary, before the girls laughed about how they wish their friend was still dating Mason.
"Would I like for her to be with him now and for us to be going on his jet to places? Yeah. He's obviously flying private jet."
Ruby joined the cast of Made In Chelsea as Reza Amiri-Garroussi's girlfriend. Their relationship was on and off and they split for good in 2022.
Last year, she dated convicted drug dealer Nicholas Sinclair, after his release from prison.
A source told The Mirror at the time: "Most of her cast-mates were thrilled to see her loved-up with Nicholas.
"But what most people don’t know is he was behind bars until a few months ago. He was mixed up with some serious people."
Nicholas had been found guilty of being involved in the distribution of class A drugs.
It was also revealed that Ruby had a "secret fling" with Love Island All Stars winner Tom Clare, and the two were messaging just hours before he entered the villa in January this year.
Ruby, who is currently believed to be single, was said to be "confused" about Tom's decision to go on the show.
He ended up winning the ITV2 winter Love Island spin-off with Molly Smith.
