She's the heavily pregnant fiancée who has every right to be black with rage at her footy star lover whose scandal cost them almost $200,000. This is her astonishing reaction as Victor Radley grovels in public

Sydney Roosters star Victor Radley has broken his silence on the drug text message scandal that saw him hit with a monster ban - sharing details of how his heavily pregnant fiancée reacted to the scandal that cost them a fortune. 

The Roosters enforcer was suspended without pay for 10 games and will also make a $30,000 donation to a Sydney hospital after accusations that he asked former teammate Brandon Smith to help him source cocaine while in Queensland.

Smith, who is now with Souths, has appeared in court and will fight allegations of drug supply and disclosing inside knowledge for betting. Court documents show Smith is accused of unlawfully supplying Sydney Roosters lock Radley with cocaine at Currimundi, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, on June 7.

Radley has not been charged with any offence and the Daily Mail does not suggest he was engaged in any wrongdoing.

Regardless, the entire incident will cost the Roosters star close to $200,000. 

And Radley has now publicly expressed his gratitude - in multiple media interviews - to his pregnant partner Taylah who has been caught in the fallout.

'I felt embarrassed, to be honest,' Radley told News Corp.

'The club and my family were the two I had to worry about. I didn't want the people I love to feel the way I felt. I want to make sure the people I love are all right and I made them feel like s**t. That hurt the most. That was disappointing.

'I bought a negative spotlight on the club and that's something I don't want to do and it's something I will learn from and move forward.'

Radley says hurting his loved ones has been the toughest part of the ordeal.

'The hardest thing is how this has (affected) my family. I don't mind copping a bit of hurt myself but my family is the difficult one,' Radley said.

'I don't want people around me hurting because of me.

'My fiancée is getting bombarded, but she has been the rock for me. As hard as it is for her, she hasn't shown it too much.

'She is 32 weeks pregnant but has still stood there and made me feel safe and that everything is going to be okay.

'She hasn't made me worry about it too much. I am very grateful for her.'

While Radley has accepted the terms of his punishment from the club, there is a chance he could return to the field this year.

England coach Shaun Wane confirmed he will pick Radley to line up against Australia in the upcoming Ashes series if he's fit and healthy.

Radley's father Nigel was born in England and his son decided to represent the country at the 2022 World Cup.

That made him ineligible to play State of Origin for NSW, and he has since gone on to run out in nine matches for the old enemy.
