Former England rugby captain Will Carling claims he was headbutted in front of his baby son by his new girlfriend's former lover. Carling said the attack happened as he took his 12-month-old son Henry to watch Harlequins play at their ground in Twickenham, London. Graham Birkett, according to Carling, approached him in the corridor.

According to the Daily Mail, Birkett had an affair with Lisa Cook (35), for whom Carling recently left Henry's mother, 30-year-old Ali Cockayne.
