Biography |
Daniel Jerome Cipriani (born 2 November 1987) is a rugby
union footballer who plays fly-half, centre and fullback for
London Wasps and England.
Danny's father, Jay, and his mother, Anne, separated soon
after his birth. Although Jay returned to Trinidad and
Tobago, Danny was able to remain in contact with him. To
afford him a better life, his mother learnt The Knowledge to
be able to drive a London Taxi, and was able to afford to
send him to the Wimbledon College Prep school, Donhead.
Spotted as a Rugby talent at Donhead, his was offered a
scholarship and advised to move to the Junior House of The
Oratory School near Reading to continue his development, and
later moved to Whitgift School in Croydon after Common
Entrance. A keen all-round sportsman, Cipriani played junior
football for Queens Park Rangers, and was offered youth
terms by Reading. He also played schoolboy cricket for
Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Invited to join Surrey County
Cricket Club as a batsman, he played club rugby for the
first time at Rosslyn Park in Roehampton where he developed
his love and passion for the game.
He appeared on My Super Sweet 16 UK for MTV as a potential
escort for one of the birthday girls, but didn't get picked.
He was not mentioned by name but was seen in various shots.
In November 2007 he was reported as dating Monica Irimia of
The Cheeky Girls fame. The News of the World later revealed
that in 2008 he slept with model Larissa Summers(who has
since gone on to star on Channel 4's Vanity Lair and is not
actually a transsexual), and when Monica found out she
dumped him. |
