FAI boss John Delaney: My new girlfriend saved me from personal demons

Irish football boss John Delaney has told how his new girlfriend saved him from personal demons.

The FAI head – who was forced to insist he wasn’t romantically involved with Nadia Forde – has been dating former model Emma English since May after being friends for over a year.

They first met at the Strictly Come Dancing charity ball last year, staying in touch and becoming extremely close friends.

And John, 46, said that before he met Emma he was going to a point where he wasn’t happy about himself.

He said: “I was probably going down a track that I wouldn’t have been very happy about myself.

“Then I met Emma and she’s been absolutely incredible, she’s a wonderful woman.”

But asked what she saved him from, John said he “wouldn’t have been in the best of places personally”.

He added: “We were friends for more than a year first, I’m very much in love with her, she’s a beautiful person, she’s changed me. When I asked Emma out in May it took a month for her to say yes.

“When she came back to me I didn’t answer her calls because I didn’t want to be rejected again. And then I got a call to say, ‘If you don’t call me back you don’t have any chance’.”

And Emma told the Saturday Night Show that there are two sides to John.

She said: “He has a great heart, he’s an incredible man in many ways, he has a great soul.

“He’s so romantic but he also has that big soft centre, he can never say no to anyone. He always wants to make people happy.”
