MICHAEL BALL - BALL ATTACKS FARRELL OVER 'WIFE' SPLIT

Musical crooner MICHAEL BALL has attacked Irish badboy COLIN FARRELL for hurting his former love AMELIA WARNER.

The musical star has not forgiven the PHONE BOOTH star for splitting with Warner, four months after they 'tied the knot' in an unofficial Tahiti ceremony.

Farrell and Warner were reported to have wed on the French Polynesian island in July 2001, although Warner revealed recently the sanction was not legally binding.

Although both Farrell and Warner claim their separation was amicable, the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA star - the step-uncle of Warner - tells a different story.

Ball says, "I am related to Colin, but only by marriage. She was heartbroken over the separation. He claimed they had fallen out of love, but she was very hurt."
