SOCCER ace Mario Balotelli has had a secret date with a busty porn star. The Manchester City striker played away while his girlfriend was on a modelling job in Italy.

He met up with 32FF Holly Henderson at her own photoshoot in a Manchester hotel before sharing a kiss and cuddle in the car park.

A source close to Balotelli, 21, said: "He is having the time of his life at the moment. "He first met Holly in a club and has become infatuated with her. "He has done all the running but she doesn't want to just be a notch on a footballer's bedpost."

Balotelli — dubbed Super Mario by fans — was snapped with 32-year-old Holly at the Marriott Hotel and Country Club where she was working for an episode of Celebrity Come Dine With Me.

He turned up unannounced while she posed in a hot tub with former Hollyoaks star Paul Danan. Then he signed autographs before carrying Holly's bags to her car and lighting cigarettes for the both of them.

The source said: "At first he told her he was single. This week he confessed — but said things were on the rocks." Last week he was spotted with girlfriend Raffaella Fico, 23, in a newsagent's, where he happily flicked through Fiesta soft porn magazine.

On Monday The Sun told how he had been racing a quad bike in the garden of his new mansion — where fireworks were set off in a bathroom days earlier.
