Serial cheat: Mark Owen, pictured here with his wife Emma and daughter in July, has admitted to having at least ten affairs during the course of his relationship
Owen, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2002, is known for his boyish charm but has often been seen as a 'squeaky clean' member of the reunited group.
Wedding day: The singer married Emma in a Scottish castle in October
One ongoing affair, with an account manager Neva Hanley, 24, started around the same time he began dating Emma, he revealed in a confession to The Sun.
His other indiscretions were alcohol-fuelled one-night stands that took place while he was on various tours with the band.
'I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe ten,' he told the newspaper.
His secret relationship with Hanley began in 2004 when they met on a train station platform in Preston.
He flew her Los Angeles three weeks later which marked the beginning of their physical relationship.
They soon met up again at his Lake District home where they smoked cannabis and drank vodka together before having sex.
They continued to meet up occasionally in various hotels - they were together just one week after Owen's daughter was born and a month before his wedding day.
He also admitted to sending her £12,000 in cheques from his personal account, including £9,000 after he finally called off the affair following his nuptials in Scotland late last year.
He insists the money was not sent in an effort to buy her silence.

Owen admitted his drinking had put a strain on his relationship with Emma and admitted he was 'not very nice to live with'.
'I denied to her I was having an affair when things were going on. I want to do the right thing now for the kids and Emma. She is absolutely without a doubt the only person I want to be with for the rest of my life.'
He also claimed his Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange were unaware of his affair with Hanley, but he did not say if they knew of his many liaisons on tour.
