Let’s be serious here, who’d expect their perfect monogamous husband to be in a world famous boyband?

It seems that being a member of Take That is tough on monogamy as allegations surface that another band member, Howard Donald, has been cheating on his longterm partner.

Late last week Mark Owen confessed to a string of 10 affairs behind his wife's back. The singer admitted he has been "an idiot" and subsequently checked into rehab to deal with his drinking problem.

And now his bandmate Howard has been accused of cheating on his girlfriend Marie-Christine Musswessels, the mother of his youngest daughter Lola, before they split in late 2009. He also has another daughter, Grace, from a previous relationship.

In an interview with British newspaper the News of the World, married Dutch beauty Merith Van Onselen alleges she conducted an affair with the singer while he was still involved with his baby mama. She claims to have met the star while he was working as a DJ in Berlin, Germany and alleges they embarked on an eight-month affair after he bombarded her with saucy emails in June 2008.

Merith, who has now split from her husband, tells the newspaper, "The first time I met him I told him I was married and he pulled a sad face. I thought that was the end of it. We kept running into each other at different DJ nights. He would say I was beautiful and special.

"Then one day I gave in. It was the start of a passionate relationship. Howard spoke a lot about feeling guilty about Marie. He was so confused and kept saying to me, 'Look at the big picture, you are married and I am still in a relationship.'"

Merith claims the romance ended in October 2009, ironically just before the Take That star split from his girlfriend.
