Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the world's most eligible bachelors in the world in 2007, with a high flying career at Manchester United.
It was then that he struck up an unlikely romance with former Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson.
The pair went on a date together - and it ended up being the most British date ever.
Revealing what happened, Gemma told Manchester's Key 103 radio: "We went to my house and drank cups of tea and watched Only Fools and Horses. Genuinely!
"I don't know if he's into it now but he seemed to enjoy it.
"Only Fools and Horses and cups of tea, he seemed to enjoy it then but I’m going back about six/seven years."
Gemma, 36, has previously explained how she'd been offered big money to discuss their brief fling - but she declined.
"With Cristiano it was mad, because everywhere he went he was followed by photographers," she said in 2010.
"When we did split up I got offered so much money to speak about him and I didn’t want that."
The actress is now dating Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez and they share daughter Mia together.
Because of his work, Gorka is regularly away but Gemma recently spilled on how she makes it work with the dancer.
"It was actually really lovely to be all together," she gushed to The Mirror of their time in lockdown together.
"Gorka works away a lot so it was good to have that time together. Obviously it was horrendous for some people, but we just said, 'Look, it is what it is. We're not going to get this time back. Let's embrace it."
"Normally with us juggling our work one of us will look after Mia and one of us will walk the dogs for example, but during lockdown we could do things as a family," she continued.
"We had a lovely weather too which was great. Before lockdown we always had to juggle things.
"We won't have that back so we tried to make the most of it."
The pair are in no rush to get married and might even decide not to walk down the aisle, despite Gemma being keen to take Gorka's last name and be a part of his family.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Gorka revealed: "We’re good as we are.
"Some people get married and it doesn't mean anything. We’re happy… but we’ll see.
"We’d love to have a sibling for Mia, but not yet. Let us enjoy Mia and our time with her."
