Happy families? John Terry and Toni Poole enjoy a fishing trip with their twins as he plans Valentine's Day treat for his wife

Closer than ever: John Terry and wife Toni Poole enjoyed a family fishing trip after their brief separation


John Terry's desperate attempts to restore himself in the affections of both his wife and the British public showed no signs of abating as played the doting husband and father during a family fishing trip in Dubai.

And the sacked England captain is set to continue his charm offensive tonight with a lavish Valentine's Day treat for his beleaguered wife Toni.

Yesterday, sporting a white bikini and her newly-dyed hair, brunette Toni appeared relaxed, larking around with fishing rods while being guided by her husband, 29

The 29-year-old - who has looked understandably strained since details of her husband's infidelities emerged - went to great lengths to smile and cuddle the disgraced footballer.

The couple also enjoyed a family swim with their three-year-old twins, who were reportedly delighted when their father arrived at the holiday resort.

They have continued to amaze onlookers in Dubai with passionate shows of affection.
Since Poole fled to the luxury holiday destination, there has been serious speculation over whether or not Terry could save his marriage.

But it seems there should have been no doubt in the couple's bond - frolicking on the beach near their resort yesterday, they couldn't take their hands or eyes off each other.

An onlooker said to the News of the World: 'I don't know what sort of line JT's been spinning but it looks like his missus has swallowed it. Where's the catch?'

Another said: 'What does that man have to do to upset his wife? He's cheated on her and she's welcomed him back with open arms. She must be the most forgiving woman on the planet.'

Another amazed hotel guest echoed this saying: 'It's amazing how it all seems forgotten so quickly. John must have something special. Toni's been all over him like a rash.

'She looked so miserable when she first arrived in Dubai. Watching the pair fool around the pool, it's difficult to believe it's the same woman.

'At one stage I'd forgotten there were other people about - it was getting a bit heated as Terry sank down to his knees in the water.'


In an effort to regain his wife's affections, Terry has reportedly organised a Valentine's Day Poole will never forget.

An insider close to the pair said: 'John's gone to extreme lengths to arrange all of this and make it a day to remember. He and Toni are back on track and he wanted to prove to her how much this marriage means to him.

'He's taking her for that stroll along memory lane then the two of them will have some special time on their own.

'After dining, they'll head down onto the coral reef. They're both experienced swimmers and diving at night with torches will make it so special.'

Meanwhile, despite going through an ordeal that would rock most marriages to the core, reports have surfaced that the two plan to try for another child.

The couple already have three-year-old twins, Georgie John and Summer Rose. However, according to The People, they have been planning to have a third child for some time and are not going to halt plans, despite Terry's affairs.

Poole told a friend: 'We both want to start a new phase in our lives. John and I were talking about having another baby before all of this happened - but we are more determined than ever now.

'A third child will bring so much joy into our lives. We are both really excited about our future.

'They'd both love another baby to make their family complete. Toni thinks John's a great father and he dotes on the kids.

'Toni has agreed to forget the past and look to the future - and John has promised to make her the happiest woman in the world.

'When they get back home they are going to get back into their old routine. At the moment they have no plans to move.'

After being photographed kissing and cuddling his wife by the pool in Dubai yesterday, Terry confidently assured the world that everything is back to normal and their marriage is stronger than ever.

The shamed footballer told The Sun: 'My family is important to me. I have always felt that. We're moving forward. We're strong as a couple - it's incredible.

'I promise you. We're best mates. We have so much fun together. We're husband and wife. We do some amazing stuff together. We've got two great kids. It's just about us four and the love we have for each other is incredible. As strong as the day we first locked eyes on each other.'

He continued to emphasise everything is fine with Toni, emphatically insisting: 'The pictures say more than words can say about how we are as a couple. What me and Toni speak about, no one will ever know. No one will ever get close to knowing how our life is.

'We are private people. We know how we feel about each other and that's the main thing. Our relationship has never been knocked down. We're just so in love.'

He added to the Daily Mirror: 'After my son went to sleep I had a glass of wine with Toni and we talked into the night. We've never been stronger.'
Toni appeared to confirm John's statement, admitting: 'We're very strong as a couple - always have been. John came over to see me and the kids and enjoy a few days in the hot weather.

'While all this is going on, it's just nice to be together.'

Terry flew out to the Middle East on compassionate leave from Chelsea, a week after his sacking as England captain by manager Fabio Capello.

Toni had fled their Surrey home with the couple's twins soon after the £170,000-a-week star lost a court battle to prevent details being published of his five-month fling with Vanessa Perroncel, former girlfriend of his England colleague Wayne Bridge.

After arriving in Dubai Terry had not only to face his wife but was also confronted by her furious parents Sue and Alan Poole.

Toni, Terry and their children are due to fly back to London on Tuesday.
