One minute they were strutting around half naked ..the next their

Loyal Irene has stuck with Lennon despite a string of embarrassments.

Lennon fathered a love-child with Glasgow singer Jeniffer Jonsen while Irene was pregnant with Gallagher.

He paid a gushing tribute to Irene in his autobiography Man and Bhoy.

He described how Irene stood by his side on the pitch at Parkhead last year on the day Celtic were presented with the league trophy - the same day the story about his lovechild broke.

He said: "Thankfully my beautiful and wonderful Irene stood by me and showed incredible courage by walking on to Celtic Park that day with Gallagher in her arms. I was so proud to be seen with this strong and lovely woman - her courage is one of the many reasons I love her."

But last week it was a different story as Lennon waved goodbye to Irene following the match at Kilmarnock. She was left at home holding the baby while her wayward partner cheated on her.

On Thursday, she dutifully travelled across to Dunfermline with agent Reilly to watch Lennon play in his team's second friendly.

He is being taken to court by Jeniffer, 30, who is demanding he puts his name on their one-year-old daughter's birth certificate.

A DNA test has already proved he is the father of the little girl, who was born last June, and he's been forced to make CSA payments.

Now he faces the embarrassment of giving evidence at Paisley Sheriff Court in September.

Jeniffer fell pregnant while Lennon was two-timing her with bar manager Irene - making Lennon a dad twice in six months.

He said the baby was conceived during a one-off "moment of madness".

Last night his agent said Lennon had no comment to make.

'Lennon & the girl were totally naked'

'He seemed to love every minute of it'
