Zayn Malik s secret sex session with masseuse
Petrongari told thesun.co.uk: "Zayn could get any girl he wants and he was with Gigi who is obviously incredibly beautiful. So I was pretty surprised when he focused his attention on me - a 41-year-old woman with curves.
"He told me he liked girls with big a**es. He made me feel special. But after a while I realised that he was just using me."
Zayn 25 and Gigi were in a relationship for two years before they broke up in March. They got back together again in the summer.
Petrongari first went to the sixth-floor apartment in New York s Soho neighbourhood after being booked by Zayn s assistant.
At the time she had no idea who the client was other than a "high-level celebrity".
But she said: "Zayn was very tired and was in the bedroom sleeping. I recognised him straight away as he is so famous. It was pretty surreal.
"His house is very modern. There were eight multi-coloured PlayÂStation controllers lined up on the table and artwork for his music on the walls. Zayn s assistant called me back after two or three hours.
"I went to his bedroom and we had a massage session. He said he was very tired and stressed out. He told me to come back the next day."
She said during a later massage session Zayn started holding her hand reports thesun.co.uk.
She added: "He told me I needed to feel free and not nervous around him. I found him very attractive and he has a great body.
"His tattoos are very sexy. I was shocked that he would be interested in me but flattered."
The pair exchanged numbers and began to send each other explicit messages.
Zayn told her they "have a lot of fun" and sent demands for her to "come over now please". He also declared he was single and said he liked an "a** like yours".
Begging for pictures in another text he said: "I want you to come lay with me." He also called her his "Italian Goddess".
She said: "He told me he didn t care about the massages anymore - he just wanted me here. We had a lot of fun. But afterwards he would appear rude and disinterested. We never really just hung out together."
