“He says, “Can you give me her number?” 

Continuing, Thornley said: “What do I take from this? I’m getting girls’ numbers from everywhere and I’m getting nothing. And then Cristiano Ronaldo said to me: “Do you like my car?” He had a Porsche Carrera convertible”.

“When I go to Real Madrid, I’ll sell it to you at half price,”  Ronaldo told Thornley.

“It took me about ten minutes to get Kimberly Wyatt’s number ,” the masseuse admitted.
