Exclusive: I am pregnant by Hibs star Sol Bamba, claims lapdancer
Aug 18 2009 By Amy Devine
A LAPDANCER claims she is pregnant with an SPL star's child.
Nicola Shields, 33, is weeks away from having the baby she says was fathered by Hibs ace Sol Bamba.
Ivory Coast defender Sol last night admitted he had sex with Nicola but insisted he is not the dad.
Now Nicola has vowed to try to force him to take a paternity test. She said last night: "Sol can say whatever he likes. I know he is the baby's dad and he knows he is the dad.
"I'll be looking for him to take a paternity test when the baby is born. I expect it will come to that, and that will settle it."
Blonde Nicola , of Strathmiglo, Fife, said she was introduced to Sol when he was playing for Dunfermline in 2008.
She says they met several times before she got pregnant at around New Year. Sol's French girlfriend Celine, the mother of his young daughter Lily, lived with him at his villa in Dunfermline. But she has returned to Paris since finding out about Nicola's claims.
Nicola worked as a lapdancer at Edinburgh's well-known Liquorice Club before becoming manager of the Private Eyes club in Dunfermline. She shares her bungalow home with her two Doberman dogs.
She was reluctant to talk about the pregnancy scandal, but confirmed: "I am pregnant and it is Sol Bamba's baby. I met Sol through a mutual friend when he played for Dunfermline.
"I've only got three or four weeks until I give birth and I'm focusing on that. I don't want to say any more about our relationship at the moment."
Sol said last night: "Nicola has told me she is pregnant and that the baby is mine, but as far as I'm concerned I'm 100 per cent certain it is not.
"I did have sex with her and I was seeing her but we were not in a relationship.
"My girlfriend is aware of these claims. She is in Paris now and things are complicated.
"I am considering where my future career lies and my little girl is getting ready to start school, so they are in Paris at the moment."
Nicola's Facebook page shows a picture of her in the nude with just a white drape covering her bump, in a pose similar to Demi Moore's famous Vanity Faircover.
She uses the name "Sheridan" on her Bebo site, which features a different nude picture taken at the same shoot.
Around 20 girls work under Nicola at the Private Eyes gentlemen's club, where customers pay £10 for a three-minute private dance or £100 for a half-hour.
The Liquorice Club in Edinburgh's Tollcross is one of Scotland's biggest. Punters pay £15 to get in and around £10 for a private dance.
Centre back Sol joined Dunfermline from Paris Saint Germain in 2006 and signed for Hibs last year. His tough-tackling style has made him a favourite with fans at Easter Road.
Sol made his debut for the Ivory Coast in 2008. Chelsea superstar Didier Drogba, Manchester City defender Kolo Toure, and Toure's brother Yaya, who stars for Barcelona, are among his team-mates
