Swarms of tabloid 'journalists' have arrived at the home of Bath and England star Danny Cipriani this morning.
It comes a day after it was widely reported that an England rugby union player has been arrested on suspicion of raping a teenager who had allegedly been drugged.
However, as RUCK knew all along, Cipriani had nothing to do with this ongoing story, which has been confirmed by his wife in an emotional statement.
She wrote: "A load of journalist have turned up outside my home this morning, causing me great alarm and distress, guessing (wrongly) that the story already in some parts of the press about a rugby player and his partner on suspicion of sexual offences might relate to Danny and myself.
"I presume they are making that wild guess because I am the same age as the woman is reported to be in the stories about that case.
"This is completely unwarranted and wholly unacceptable. Neither Danny nor myself have been arrested, nor do we have anything to do with the reported case, whatsoever. We do not know anything about it.
"The press have come to the wrong people and I would ask they leave us alone, immediately."
Telegraph Sport has revealed the player involved is NOT BELIEVED to be a member of Eddie Jones’ last England squad.’
However, the England boss is believed to have been briefed on the situation and told not to answer questions relating to the subject under any circumstances.
A police spokesperson said in a statement: ‘Officers were called shortly before 11am on Sunday January 9 to a report of a sexual assault on a female.
‘A woman in her late teens was reported to have been sexually assaulted.
‘Both have since been released on bail as enquiries continue and a number of lines of enquiry are being followed up by detectives.’

Five rugby players who have dated celebrities
#1. Ben Cohen - Kristina Rihanoff

#2. Mike Tindall - Zara Phillips

#3. Danny Cipriani - Kirsty Gallagher, Katie Price, Caroline Flack and more...
The England fly-half has previously dated high-profile models Kelly Brook and Katie Price. His love life has been a bit more low key since his most recent high-profile girlfriend TV sports presenter Kirsty Gallagher. The relationship fizzled out after six months in 2016. Other famous romances include Lindsay Lohan, one of the Cheeky Girls and briefly the late Love Island host Caroline Flack.
Basically the more you google, the more girls names come up, ha-ha.
Price wrote: "In my experience he was a bit – erm – lean in the most obvious departments.
"That’s why I nicknamed him Danny Chipolata. He can no longer hit the right spots on the rugby field and he certainly can’t find them on a woman."
Cipriani and Lindsay Lohan
#4. Will Carling - Princess Diana
The most famous of all the rugby/celebrity relationships.
They became close after meeting at an early morning fitness class. Worried ex-footballer Gary Lineker warned his married pal: “This woman is trouble”, but Will did not listen.
Carling, now 51, has always denied an affair, insisting recently: “I was a good friend to her for a period of time, and that was it.”
Okay Will, we believe you. Mate dates they were.
