Emma Noble and I cheated 11 times a day

EXCLUSIVE:  

Our fatal attraction

By Phil Taylor, Associate Editor

THE actor who won the heart of TV beauty Emma Noble today lays bare the red-hot secrets of the affair that wrecked her marriage to Prime Minister's son James Major.

Breaking his silence over their relationship, devastated Graham McGrath reveals that the beauty has suddenlyDUMPED him after two torrid years of lust.

He tells in intimate detail how Emma took him on a wild rollercoaster ride of no-holds-barred kinky sex after seducing him with their first screen kiss on the set of ITV soap Crossroads.

He confesses how she romped with him for real justSEVEN HOURS before they filmed their first soap bed scene—and how he slashed his wrists in a suicide attempt when they split in January.

"Our affair not only humiliated John Major's son and ended both our marriages—but it nearly cost my life," says Graham. "It really nearly was a Fatal Attraction.

"Emma thought I was the master of lovemaking. We did it 11 times a day—so much she never bothered wearing knickers."

In his own graphic words Graham reveals Emma's astonishing lust for raunchy sex anywhere, anytime and anyhow...

ON THEIR FIRST TIME: "I pulled off her jeans and gasped when I saw that peach of a bum in a G-string. She wanted it badly. I didn't need to be asked twice."

ON THEIR KINKY ROMPS: "I would bend her over my knee and spank her bare bum with a riding crop as she sucked her thumb wearing a schoolgirl's outfit. Then I'd tie her to her bed, blindfold her and s**g her."

ON THEIR ‘HOME MOVIES': "Emma loved filming us with a camcorder as we had sex. Then she'd play it back so we could watch it while we did it again."

Lied

Emma, 33, has always denied cheating on James with Graham while they played screen husband and wife Jimmy and Suzi Samson in doomed soap Crossroads.

She divorced James, 30, last year on the grounds of his unreasonable behaviour for refusing to have sex with her. But Graham, 33, reveals: "Emma lied through her teeth. And I lied to my pregnant wife about our affair.

"The truth is I had sex with Emma within a WEEK of meeting her on the set of Crossroads."

Emma—a former hostess of The Price Is Right show—had married James Major in June 1999 in a lavish ceremony in a crypt at the House of Commons. They had a son Harrison in July 2000 at the same time as James had a pacemaker fitted for a heart problem.

In October, 2002, she and Graham made their debuts on Crossroads as the Samsons —but in real life, Graham's marriage was heading for the rocks.

"I'd been married three years but had fallen out of love with my wife Sarah. When she fell pregnant I felt trapped," he says.

"But when Emma walked onto the set of Crossroads it was love at first sight. I couldn't believe my luck when we had to film a screen kiss on our first shoot.

"It was electric. I hadn't felt butterflies in my stomach like it since my first kiss when I was 10. I fancied Emma like mad but I never believed in my wildest dreams we'd end up as lovers.

"Just six days after we met she invited me out for dinner and I blurted out, ‘I don't know if it's me or the character that has fallen in love with you. She put her hand on mine and said, ‘I feel the same.' I was gobsmacked.

"She asked me back to her hotel room in Nottingham for a drink. We ended up sitting together on the twin bed. I kissed her and took off her bra and she had the most perfect boobs.

"They'd been enhanced but they were soft and gorgeous.

"I fondled her breasts and she was moaning with pleasure. I then pulled off her jeans and saw her peach of a bum in a G-string.

"Then she told me: ‘**** me!' I didn't need to be asked twice as she unbuttoned my jeans. We were hungry for each other.

"I had never cheated on my wife before and I felt guilty afterwards. But Emma said, ‘You're the best lover I've ever had."

"I was so turned on by that we made love again twice more that night. At 3am I sneaked back to my room at the hotel where the crew were staying."

Bitch

Soon they were back between the sheets—but this time for the cameras. "Ironically at 10 next morning we had to film a scene where our characters were in bed.

"As we lay together, surrounded by lights and cameras, I thought, ‘If only they knew what we were up to last night'!"

It was the start of what was to be a torrid affair. News of it broke on March 29 after Emma was spotted leaving McGrath's rented Nottingham flat at 9am.

They both played it down—Graham, mainly because Sarah—now 30—had just given birth and he was consumed by guilt.

"I felt terrible I had betrayed her. I told her the story was rubbish and gave her false hope. It was wrong. She walked out on me and went to her parents.

"As for Emma, she hated the way she had been portrayed as the cold-hearted bitch who had lured a married man away from his pregnant wife. She told me James phoned her and said: ‘You whore! You have been ****ing him behind my back! We're finished!"

Emma got a quickie divorce in August 2003—but she begged Graham to keep their affair low-profile because she was frightened of losing Harrison in a custody battle.

It meant he had to sneak into her £400,000 home in Alconbury Weston, Cambs, for sex.

"I went there after dark when I knew the photographers had gone home," says Graham. "Then we got down to it.

"Nothing was out of bounds. She was brilliant at oral sex.

"She liked to be dominated. What she really enjoyed was being tied to the bed and blindfolded.

"But we did it on her kitchen table, on the dining room table, against the sink and in the shower.

"And we liked having sex in a bubble bath, surrounded by candles. "Outdoors was great too. We s*****d all over the lawn."

Soon they began getting even more adventurous. "We started having sex in her Audi," admits Graham. "Once we stopped in a car park at 10pm in Peterborough, Emma straddled me and we were going hammer and tongs when a cop car pulled up.

"We just had enough time to make ourselves decent. It was a lucky escape. Our sex life just got better and better."

But there was romance as well. Graham reveals how he proposed to Emma in October, 2003, up the Eiffel Tower on a break in Paris, and she was so thrilled she could hardly wait to go down—on him.

"Emma accepted and was so excited that when we got back to Britian she gave me oral sex as I was driving along the M20 at 50mph," he added.

Graham reveals how Emma— who dreamed of being a Hollywood star—loved performing for the camera in the bedroom.

"She took loads of video of us—and we'd watch the films afterwards and get so horny we'd do it in front of the telly.

"She also took plenty of snaps with her digital camera. My favourite is one taken on one of our secret long weekends together at her house.

"It shows off her bottom in all its glory. Emma loved it so much she turned it into a piece of art work and got it framed. But during an argument she tore it up." Rows began to creep into the relationship as both their acting careers faltered after Crossroads. "As the drudgery of life set in we'd have rows over nothing," says Graham.

Then the bombshell dropped in January. "My divorce was just about to come through and despite our rows, I adored Emma," he says.

"Then she told me, ‘It's over between us. I have ****ed up my life for you.' I was so shattered I went home and got drunk. I sent Emma and my family a text message saying I'd had enough with life.

Slashed

"Then I slashed my wrists twice. Luckily I collapsed before I could make one more cut.

"When I came around I was lying in bed on bloodstained sheets with two policeman by my side. Emma had alerted my sister about my text message and she called the police.

"I felt humiliated at what I had done. I couldn't imagine life without Emma. Yet when I phoned her a week later, she screamed at me: ‘I don't ever want to see you again.' She has blocked me out of her life. I don't know if she has a new man.

"But I know I will never find a woman like her again. I gave up everything for her—and still can't believe how cold-hearted she has been."
