French First Lady in hospital after alleged Hollande affair | |
(35 minutes later) | |
French First Lady Valerie Trierweiler has been admitted to hospital after media reports of an alleged affair involving President Francois Hollande. | |
Her office said she had been admitted "for rest and some tests". | |
Mr Hollande's unmarried partner was admitted on Friday, the day Closer magazine revealed the alleged affair. | |
Mr Hollande has not denied secretly visiting actress Julie Gayet at a flat near the Elysee Palace but protested at the magazine's invasion of his privacy. | |
Ms Trierweiler is expected to leave hospital on Monday, her office told AFP news agency. | |
On Friday, Closer magazine printed a seven-page article about the alleged affair between Mr Hollande and Ms Gayet. | |
It was illustrated with photos showing a man said to be the president visiting a flat at the same time as Ms Gayet. | |
The man said to be the president is wearing a helmet and is ferried to and from the building on a moped. | |
Mr Hollande threatened to sue over the report, which he called an "attack on the right to privacy", without denying the allegation. |
