Candice Warner will detail some of the most difficult times in her life in a new book that will be released in the coming months.
The retired athlete, who is also the wife of Australian cricket star David Warner, has penned a memoir, Running Strong, which will hit shelves in April.
Mum-of-three Candice, 37, told The Daily Telegraph that the “warts and all” book won’t shy away from the controversies in her private life.
It will include her fling with All Blacks legend Sonny Bill Williams in the bathrooms of the Clovelly Hotel in Sydney on a Saturday night in April 2007.
“I touch on absolutely everything, every single thing from the Clovelly Hotel incident to South Africa,” she said.
“Anything that you have seen in a headline, it will be talked about. It is something that I have wanted to do for a while but it has never been the right time.”
Speaking on Channel 7 in 2020, Candice said the tryst with Williams was a “big mistake”, while in 2008 Candice said she wasn’t thinking about what impact her actions would later have.
Candice and David Warner were the subject of ugly taunts during the Australian cricket team’s Test tour of South Africa in 2018.
During the first Test, David Warner confronted South African wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock in a stairwell in Durban after he allegedly made a comment about Candice.
Both players were charged with breaching the code of conduct.
The taunts continued during the second Test in Port Elizabeth when some spectators wore masks of Williams to the ground.
Candice’s book will be released in April through Harper Collins Australia.
