FLU LOVE: Imogen out with Defoe
GAM-MON, LET'S GO: They leave restaurant
RANDY soccer ace Jermain Defoe has brought home the bacon again . . . in the shape of Big Brother SWINE FLU victim Imogen Thomas.
And even the reality TV star's infectious condition didn't put off the Spurs and England striker, who's renowned for B-OINK-ING a string of beauties.
In fact he finds her so ham-azing he even took anti-viral drug Tamiflu so he could be by his new sizzler's side as soon as she was cured.
"Jermain's been there for Imogen while she's had swine flu and has offered her lots of moral support," said a pal.
"She didn't want to see him while she was still contagious. But he's been taking care of her and pampering her."
The two - pictured here leaving trendy London restaurant Nobu Berkeley on Thursday - are believed to have met a few weeks ago just before the former Miss Wales, 26, went down with the disease after returning home from a holiday in Marbella.
Mask
Imogen was quarantined to her London flat after being diagnosed and had to wear a mask. She was trapped at home for a week with model pal Chelsea White, 19, who was also suffering from the illness.
On her Facebook page Imogen told fans swine flu had put her love life on hold. "No men for me too, except TV!" she said.
But once her isolation was lifted Imogen was desperate to raise her new man's temperature.
"As soon as they were given the all-clear he dashed round to see her," said her pal.
"This weekend he drove her all the way to Wales to see her parents. They stayed the night before heading back to London. She is smitten with him."
The friend told us Defoe is just as bedazzled - and has recently bought Imogen an expensive diamond ring. "It's full of diamonds and really pretty," said our source.
But Imogen will have to hope her swine flu swain makes less of a pig's ear of his romance with her than he has of previous relationship.
In the past he's been a bit of a trotter with women. He has dated a string of glamour girls and WAGS including another Big Brother housemate Chantelle Houghton, model Sarah Giggle and David Beckham's sister Joanne.
However, he famously THREE-TIMED model Danielle Lloyd and cheated on Charlotte Mears who was engaged to him with a £63,000 ring before they split in January 2008. Now Imogen, match fit again, starts her run in Defoe's Leggy XI.
The couple have been spending days together in London and at Jermain's £3 million Hertfordshire mansion. "Jermain really makes Imogen laugh," our source added. "They have definitely clicked."
But while Imogen is celebrating being clear of pig flu - her new boyfriend has been a bit too much on the streaky side for magistrates.
On Friday, Defoe was banned from driving after being found guilty of speeding. But the six-month sentence was suspended as his lawyers appealed against the conviction.
Chelmsford Magistrates Court heard how he twice broke a 50mph speed limit on the M11 in Chigwell, Essex, in 2008. Defoe's lawyer, Dean George, said the appeal would be partly based on an argument that police paperwork was invalid on the grounds that it had been handled by an unauthorised person.

Most of the footballers and celebrities named as her lovers she's probably never met. So many girlie haters out there who are desperste for footballers themselves. Amy calls then F Me pumps.

Interestingly her mate Aisleyne has just left a note on her facebook page:-
"Some woman have no MORALS and no LOYALTY".
Aisleyne, as well as Imogen, is friendly with Defoe's ex-fiancee Charlotte Meares. She was asked out for a date by Defoe herself but declined because of her loyalty to Charlotte.
But then again, loyalty and Imogen are strangers to each other.
Look what Imogen's did to her fellow BB7 housemate, Sezer. When she left the BB7 house she found out about the rape allegation made against Sezer but told him she would stand by him.
They started seeing each other but under pressure from her agents she asked him to cool it while the allegation hang over him. He agreed.
And then she started seeing someone else. And not just anyone. It was the man who in his BB7 blog for the NOTW called Sezer 'a callous b@stard' for standing up for Imogen during the big row with Richard in BB7, Russell Brand.
Just goes to show what a lovely person Imogen is, doesn't it!
