He wrote about it in a book he co-wrote — saying one player propositioned Chloe while his “supposedly squeaky clean” team-mate touched her bum.
Speaking exclusively to our Fabulous magazine, Chloe, 37, said: “I don’t want to belittle anyone else’s awful experiences at the hands of disgusting men and I would never want to be insensitive.
“But this incident was such a non-event for me.
“Everybody had been drinking for multiple hours. It happened so quickly and I was like, ‘OK, some guy just grabbed my arse’.

“I told James about it on the way home. He was really good and asked how I felt. I said, ‘Hmm, everyone was drunk,’ and I honestly never thought about it again until he wrote the book.”
But fitness trainer Chloe, who split from England rugby star James in 2023 after nearly ten years together, added: “I don’t think it’s OK for men to touch women or say inappropriate things thinking it’s ‘banter’.
“But it was one of those situations where I didn’t feel threatened and no trauma had been inflicted.
“It was just a thing that happened. In that particular environment, it wasn’t particularly surprising.
“I was hesitant to come out and say that. Either I lie and pretend it was soul-destroying or tell the truth and look insensitive, which I’m not trying to.”
