British gay actor Rupert Everett has claimed he had a six year long affair with the late Paula Yates while she was married to Sir Bob Geldof.
Everett made the claim in his new autobiography entitled �Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins�.
He says about the affair: "I am mystified by my heterosexual affairs - but then I am mystified by most of my relationships."
Regarding Yates he said: "That side of our relationship was tenuous to say the least, and our lives went in different directions."
And Everett goes on to say that he would have been unable to save Yates from her eventual overdose: "I am afraid once someone goes off the rails your instinct is to run a mile. Fate took such twists. If Michael Hutchence hadn't died, Paula might have survived. Hers was an incredible story in the limelight.
�She was just dealt card after card in the last ten years of her life. She came from this weird Fifties TV world of evangelists and actresses - Paula's father was Jess Yates, a TV evangelist. She was such an English character."
I wonder what Sir Bob will have to say about all of this�
