John Lennon had a secret affair while married to his first wife Cynthia, according to new revelations made today.

The Beatles star apparently had a fling with '60s pop singer Alma Cogan, who died 40 years ago of cancer at the age of just 34.

According to her sister, the couple were known to have been in a relationship but it was never uncovered to the public. Lennon is alleged to have been unfaithful to Cynthia many times during their relationship.

Revealing news of this latest "affair," Corgon's sister Sandra Cohen said: "I knew about Alma and John, of course, but it was something no one admitted because John was married. We had a very strict Jewish upbringing and my mother would never have approved of a relationship between Alma and a married man," she told British paper The Daily Mail.

John and Cynthia were married in 1962 and divorced in 1968. They had one child, Julian.
