Downfall of the noughties' most notorious love rat: What happened to model James Gooding who BLAMED girlfriend Kylie for his stint in rehab - after he cheated and called her 'self-obsessed and friendless'


The model turned-photographer, now 50, admitted to cheating on the star with Sophie Dahl and later branded her a 'self-obsessed, virtually friendless control freak' in a scathing tell-all interview.

Kylie Minogue called him her 'delightful scruff from Essex' and with few male models ever becoming household names, the fame afforded by dating one of the world's biggest popstars should have been a dream come true for James Gooding. But it limped on in an on-and-off fashion for another year before coming to a dramatic halt at the same ceremony in 2003, when they had colossal bust-up in front of shocked party-goers after Kylie's raunchy duet with Justin Timberlake. After their split and the scene at the Brits he held a vigil outside Kylie's Chelsea house before going on a drugs bender, and ending up spending 10 days in rehab at Farm Place Clinic in Surrey.
