British boyband star Mark Owen confessed he cheated on his wife (and girlfriend of five years) Emma Ferguson with at least ten women before they got married in October of 2009. Mark maintained a four year old affair with mistress Neva Hanley, which he put an end to just a couple of weeks before his wedding.

Mark confessed the other flings were only one-night stands that happened when he was on tour with “Take That”. “I don’t know how many girls there were in all,” Mark says. ‘Maybe ten.” The 38 year-old singer claims his bandmates, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange did not know about his sexcapades. Yeah, right!!

Neva and Mark maintained contact and remained friends. He even regularly sent his ex-mistress money probably to keep her quiet but they finally decided to cut all contact for the sake of Mark’s marriage.

“She phoned me the week before I got married,” he tells The Sun. “She said she had lost her job and was going to lose her flat – and asked if I could help her out… I wasn’t paying Neva with the intention of keeping her quiet. I’d have no money left if I was paying them all off…”

Mark is a Tiger Woods of boybands wannabe! However he was smart enough to understand the scandal would have made tabloids headlines sooner or later if he hadn’t confessed. Mark and wife Emma have two kids, Elwood (3) and Willow Rose (1).
