Please forgive me: Warne


Australian cricket star Shane Warne has begged his wife to take him back after they split over repeated sex scandals, local media reported Sunday.

Warne has told his wife Simone that he will seek counselling and end his womanising, the Sunday Telegraph said.

The couple announced their separation last month after almost 10 years of marriage after British tabloid newspapers reported that the leg-spin bowler had again had affairs with other women.

Warne, 35, told a friend he had begged Simone to forgive him, and the couple and their three children had been seen together on a Spanish holiday, the Sunday Telegraph said.

Warne's off-field behaviour could, however, cost him his 225,000 dollars annual commentary contract with Australian television Channel 9, the paper reported.
