''I had sex with 1,000 women but was never truly happy'' says Britain's Got Talent star

Anthony Ghosh - aka DJ Talent - has finally settled down with the lady of his dreams after she popped up on Facebook chat

Gold-toothed rapper Anthony Ghosh is a 24-carat charmer when it comes to dating women. In fact, he boasts he's ­bedded more than 1,000.

But the 36-year-old star, who found fame on Britain's Got Talent, has put his wild ways behind him and is now a
one-woman man – after falling for a fan he met on Facebook.

And Karen Usherwood, 43, can't ­believe her luck at being the woman to finally tame Anthony, who goes under the stage name DJ Talent.
Karen says: "Some women might not want to be with a guy who has slept with so many women, but Anthony's my soulmate.

"All that's in the past. What he got up to with other women before we met doesn't bother me."

And Anthony is happy to turn his back on his bed-hopping days.He said: "I've had hundreds of one-night stands, but I'm a changed man. I've fallen head over heels in love.

"Women still throw themselves at me. But now I just want to settle down with Karen and have kids."

Karen fancied the rapper, whose gold teeth are worth £10,000, the first time she saw him on TV.
In 2009 more than 13 million viewers watched him winning over the judges with his tune: "I say Britain, you say talent. Britain's got talent – it's the DJ Talent

Shortly afterwards, the couple met briefly in 2009 at a nightclub in Kent where Anthony was ­gigging but their paths didn't cross again until August this year.

Anthony explains: "I posted a message on Facebook saying I was feeling down. Karen saw it and sent me a reply saying she hoped I'd soon feel happier."

A week later he asked Karen out for a drink and they clicked immediately.
It was perfect timing for Anthony because he desperately wanted a caring, loving relationship.
The DJ, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, explains: "After I went on BGT, I was ­recognised everywhere. I went to bed with a different woman every night.

"I'd do a gig and there would be lots of women all hoping I'd pick them. I was like a kid in a sweetshop. I must've slept with over 1,000 women – all one-night stands."

One true love? Anthony is planning setting down with Karen

His womanising went on for several years, but as he reached his mid-30s the empty routine of meaningless, casual sex began to take its toll.

Anthony went on: "I had a life many men would envy. But the biggest worry was wondering if women were only ­interested in me because I was famous.

"I was having lots of sex and some wild fun times. But it's not the same as ­building a relationship, caring about someone and being close to them."

Then in January this year Anthony's world was rocked as he had to deal with a bowel cancer scare. He says: "Luckily tests came back showing I didn't have cancer. It was just a harmless condition, but it gave my life a new perspective."

And then Karen reached out to him with her Facebook comment.

He adds: "From the moment I got that message, I knew she was different from any other woman I've dated before. She was just so caring."

Karen, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, had also wondered if she would ever meet Mr Right. She says: "I married in my early 20s but that was far too young.

"Since then I've had a series of ­relationships, but with Anthony, things feel completely different. I have never felt so comfortable with anyone in my life. He's got a heart of gold.

"But at the same time I feel very protected when I'm with him. And while he's a softy inside, he knows his own mind. He doesn't stand for nonsense."

She adds: "I've never had a one-night stand. I'm strictly a one-man woman."

Anthony confessed to Karen about his extraordinary number of number of lovers early on.
He says: "I did worry what Karen might say, but she just said what happened before was ­irrelevant. Despite having had so many lovers, I've never been a cheater. And I've had enough one-night stands to last me a lifetime."

Karen adds: "Some people might say a leopard can't change its spots – and wonder if Anthony might stray. When we go out and he still gets women chatting him up.

"But I'm not jealous – because I trust him completely. He recently said he thought we should get engaged. I took that as a proposal and said 'yes'.
"We hope to officially get engaged in the New Year.

"Hopefully we will marry within the next year – and who knows we might even have kids."
Karen, who works with adults with learning ­difficulties, adds: "At 43, I don't have the time to wait too long. It would be lovely to make Anthony a dad." The couple are so in love they have even made a new rap song together to ­celebrate their happiness.

He explains: "It's a mix of my favourite Ibiza tracks and Karen sings the backing tracks on it."
And now Anthony has met the love of his life, he doesn't have any regrets about bedding so many women in the past.

He says: "They just makes me realise how special Karen is and how lucky we are to have found one another."
