Spears 'sent Ghalib 100 texts a day'

Adnan Ghalib's secret lover has claimed that Britney Spears used to send the paparazzo 100 texts a day.

Amanda Pagel, who believes Ghalib left Spears because of "stress", claimed she had a 3-month relationship with the photographer without the popstar knowing.

She told Look magazine: "Britney used to call all the time when he was at mine. She sent him hundreds of texts a day, sometimes just seconds apart.

"He was sick of being 'Mr. Spears'. He said the stress was taking its toll and he hated being pursued by the paparazzi.

"He asked me to start a new life with him. He said, 'Let's leave Hollywood, live in Italy and start a family'."

Spears was rumoured to have split with Ghalib because she found explicit text messages from another woman on his iPhone.
