Oops.. she's had a conversion
Rugby ace Danny's love Larissa WAS a boy called Darren

By Sophie Ridge and James Weatherup
THE rugby ace who cheated on his Cheeky Girl lover was sold a dummy—the curvy model he bedded was born a BLOKE.

Wasps star Danny Cipriani got the boot after we revealed he had a sneaky ruck with sultry Larissa Summers.

But the 20-year-old fly half had no idea that before her sex swap op the stunner had very different tackle.

Now Danny—who was dumped by Cheeky Girl Monica Irimia, 25—faces a try-ing time when his team-mates learn his latest bed partner used to be a boy called Darren Pratt.
Jawline

An old school pal of transsexual Larissa, 23, said: "I can't believe what Darren looks like now.

"He, or she, looks incredible after the sex change. You would never know she wasn't born a woman.

"But I can still recognise him from school. He's got the same strong jawline."



Larissa's full name now is Laura-Alicia Summers, but she was born Darren Michael Pratt in Nottingham City Hospital on September 5, 1984 to mum Margaret and electrician dad Barry.

Darren grew up in the Gedling area of Nottingham and went to the local comp Carlton le Willows School.

One old classmate said: "We all laugh when we see Darren in the paper —he's done very well for himself.

"It's well known around here that he used to be a man. Everyone knows it's him and he looks fantastic. Whether Danny sees the funny side is another thing."

Darren began his gender change when he started secondary school. The pal said: "Darren was a boy in primary school, but he started growing his hair in secondary.

"Then in Year 8 and 9 he started calling himself girls' names. He used to call himself Alexis, Angel and Melissa — he went through a series of them."

Another friend said: "Dar-ren was openly gay at school and very camp.

"We're not shocked he had the sex change. He loved singing and dancing.

"He preferred to hang out with the girls, and do girly stuff."

After a series of ops, Darren eventually became Larissa and launched a new career. She has become red-hot on the London modelling circuit and has landed telly work, appearing in Living TV's Dirty Cows and new Channel Four show Vanity Lair.

The rugby player had been with Cheeky twin Monica for two months when he made a move on Larissa in a nightclub. Last week model Larissa told the News of the World how he booked them into a £150-a-night Ramada hotel room for a night of passion.

She said: "Danny was all over me and we had fast, frantic sex in about three different positions.

"It was all over quickly, but it was exciting. He was very dominant and knew exactly what he wanted to do."

Danny's not the only unsuspecting man to fall under Larissa's spell—she also had a fling with Billi Bhatti, 25, who appeared in last year's Big Brother.

They met while filming the video for Jamelia's single Beware of the Dog and had several kinky sex sessions.

Larissa dressed up as Supergirl for one romp with cartoon-crazy Billi.

One of Darren's old pals said: "It's not surprising all these famous men have slept with Darren. He makes a great girl—he's hot!"
Ribbing

Even so, Danny will face a tough time from his rugby pals. A source said: "Danny is a big, strapping player and rugby is not known as a very forgiving sport.

"He may well come in for some ribbing over this.

"Anyone can see why he went with Larissa — she is stunning and no one could really tell she used to be a he.

"But the changing room will never be the same again for Danny! He had his fun — now he'll have to face the consequences."

Yesterday Larissa, who was keen to talk about her night with the rugby hunk, suddenly clammed up. And her mother said: "We have nothing to say."

But two neighbours in Gedling, Nottingham, said they were aware Darren had become Larissa.

One said: "Yes, I know Larissa. She is a lovely girl. One minute she was a boy and the next she was a girl."
