Last night after the couple's family day out, the shamed and
sacked England captain bragged: "The boat trip was fantastic. It's
like being on honeymoon again only this time with the kids, and
it's better!"
One amazed observer who saw the couple angling on the luxury £3
million cruiser yesterday said:
"I don't know what sort of line JT's been spinning but it looks
like his missus has swallowed it! Where's the catch?"
The sacked England captain plans to put the seal on their
astonishing reunion today with a romantic Valentine's date - taking
mum-of-two Toni back to the beach in Dubai where he proposed, and
swearing undying devotion... again.
Incredibly it was just seven days ago the News of the World
revealed how serial love rat Terry, 29, sensationally gagged
mistress Vanessa Perroncel with £750,000 hush money AND paid off
four more secret lovers not to blab on his sordid sex
life.
But our pictures of the apparently loved-up Terrys cuddling and
giggling in the sun seem to show it did the trick. If the scandal
of JT bedding team-mate Wayne Bridge's girlfriend Vanessa was
haunting 28-year-old Toni, it didn't show.
A holidaymaker who witnessed their canoodling added: "What does
that man have to do to upset his wife? "He's cheated on her and
she's welcomed him back with open arms. She must be the most
forgiving woman on the planet."
After renewing his love vows on their special beach today,
Chelsea skipper Terry - given compassionate leave by the club to
patch up his marriage - will whisk Toni away to an intimate
candlelit dinner for two on board the same £7,000-a-day yacht
Thimar 1 they hired yesterday.
Then the pair will really take the plunge - on a special
scuba dive in the moonlight. The inside source who revealed Terry's
Valentine plans, added: "John's gone to great lengths to arrange
all this and make it a day to remember. He and Toni are back on
track and he wanted to prove to her how much this marriage means to
him.
"He's taking her for that stroll along the sands of memory lane
then the two of them will have some special time on their own.
"After dining they'll head down onto the coral reef. They're both
experienced swimmers and diving at night with torches will make it
so special."
Terry, who has refused to say a public "sorry" for humiliating
his wife, arrived in Dubai on Thursday night. He immediately joined
Toni for an emotional reunion with their three-year-old twins
Georgie John and Summer Rose - plus his in-laws Sue and Alan Poole
- at their penthouse suite in the five-star Le Royal Meridien. And
yesterday on the yacht trip the couple kissed, cuddled and couldn't
keep their hands off each other.
Toni looked stunning in a tiny white bikini as she got up close
to her hubby in trendy white and blue swimming shorts. At one point
slippery Terry appeared to come face to face with a REAL shark that
he'd proudly hauled in from the sea. Son Georgie looked well
impressed - until spotting it was just a plastic fake.
After the morning cruise the family all crashed into sun
loungers around the hotel pool. Another guest told us: "It's
amazing how all seems forgotten so quickly. John must have
something special. Toni's been all over him like a rash.
"She looked so miserable when she first arrived in Dubai.
Watching the pair of them fool around in the pool it's difficult to
believe it's the same woman.
"At one stage I thought they'd forgotten there were
other people about - it was all getting a bit heated as Terry sank
down on his knees in the water!
"I was amazed to see Toni's mum and dad playing happy families
too. "John's a lucky man. A less understanding father-in-law would
have clocked him one!"
As it was revealed that the couple are to fly back to the UK
TOGETHER so Terry can prepare for next Saturday's match against
Wolves, Toni was relaxing in the heat, checking her phone for
messages and reading her holiday book, The Brightest Star in the
Sky - a love story by Irish author Marian Keyes.
Obviously she's a sucker for a bit of romantic fiction. . .
