Courtney Love claims she had an affair with Gavin Rossdale.

The Hole singer - famed for her erratic behaviour - insists she bedded the former Bush frontman for eight months after he married Gwen Stefani in 2002.

Courtney - the widow of Nirvana star Kurt Cobain - told US Radio DJ Howard Stern: "We had a really good time. I even had visions of marrying Gavin Rossdale one time.

"Everyone gave me so much s**t because Gavin sounded like a lot like Kurt. But man, he was such an Adonis in his day! He got good in bed... something happened. Maybe Gwen taught him, for all I know."

Courtney claims Gwen - who has two sons, Kingston, four, and 19-month-old Zuma, with Gavin - was aware of the affair.

She said: "Yes. She does know."

When Stern then asked: "You mean he was having sex with you while he was with her?"

To which Courtney replied: "Everyone... yeah... and a few other people. We didn't have a lot of pressure on each other, but we did like each other quite a bit."

Gwen - who was said to be "devastated" when DNA test results in 2004 showed Gavin was the father of British model Daisy Lowe, following a brief fling with her mother Pearl Lowe - and the 44-year-old rocker are yet to comment on the allegations.
