The ex-boyfriend of Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro says his life has been 'ruined' after dating the glamorous medic.
Rupert Patterson-Ward said he wanted to start a family with Ms Carneiro but that the tumultuous relationship came to a bitter end when he claims she 'chewed me up and spat me out'.
The commercial manager also said he was constantly intimated by the 41-year-old's popularity among the Chelsea players.

Ms Carneiro hit the headlines last week after being demoted by Jose Mourinho following a furious touchline row about whether she should have treated one of the players.
Describing her as 'fiery', Mr Patterson-Ward told The Sun: 'I was besotted with her and we were planning a family, but she chewed me up and spat me out.'
Mr Patterson-Ward claimed he met Gibraltar-born Ms Carneiro in 2011 at Frankie's sports bar in the club's Stamford Bridge complex, a day which he compared to a 'Carlsberg TV ad.'
He said he was welcomed into the club's 'inner circle' and even travelled to Munich for the Champions League final with Christine Bleakley - partner of Frank Lampard - and John Terry's wife Toni.
Mr Patterson-Ward said the pair were initially 'blissfully' happy.

Ms Carneiro thanked Chelsea fans following the public spatBut, despite sub-letting his flat and moving in with the doctor at her home in Earlsfield a year or so later, the pair began to have furious rows.
One of their big bust-ups came when he apparently did not 'make enough effort' for her 39th birthday. Their acrimonious split came at the end of the 2013 season after a trip to Marbella.
He added: 'She is a fiery Latino. Eva loved the attention.'
Ms Carneiro was publicly haraunged by Mourinho after she and her colleague Jon Fearn rushed onto the pitch to tend to Eden Hazard near the end of the 2-2 draw with Swansea on Saturday last week.

Chelsea were already down to 10 men and Hazard receiving treatment meant he had to spend a few moments on the touchline, leaving the champions vulnerable.
The Chelsea manager was furious and video footage subsequently released by Sky Sports shows him screaming 'son of a bitch' at the medic during the heated touchline row.
He later said: 'I wasn't happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game.
'You have to know that when you have one player less and, in the end, you go on to the pitch to assist a player then you must be sure that a player has a serious problem.
'I was sure that Eden didn't have a serious problem. He had a knock and was very tired. 
The public spat snowballed and she was then branded a 'celebrity doctor' by her predecessor, Ralph Rogers
The 41-year-old, who was born in Gibraltar, will keep her job title as first-team doctor but she will no longer be allowed at training sessions, matches or the team hotel
'My medical department left me with eight fit players in a counter-attack after a set piece and we were worried we didn't have enough players left.'
After those comments, Chelsea fans rushed to send Carneiro messages of support. She later posted on Facebook: 'I would like to thank the general public for their overwhelming support. Really very much appreciated.'
But instead of patching things up with her, Mourinho took more drastic action. The 41-year-old, who was born in Gibraltar, will keep her job title as first-team doctor but she will no longer be allowed at training sessions, matches or the team hotel.
The public spat snowballed and she was then branded a 'celebrity doctor' by her predecessor, Ralph Rogers.
Carneiro, who supports Spanish side Real Madrid, was promoted to her role with the Chelsea first team by Andre Villas-Boas in 2011 and has since worked with Roberto di Matteo, Rafa Benitez and now Mourinho.
Born to a Spanish father and British mother, she has studied at Nottingham University and Queen Mary University of London.
Carneiro spent time with West Ham before being appointed to the UK Sports and Medicine Specialist training program with the Olympic Medical Institute preparing athletes for the 2008 Olympic Games.
She spent some time working for the England women's football team before joining Chelsea in 2009.
