Andrew Ettingshausen reveals affair with team-mate Paul Mellors wife Ali

FORMER rugby league pin up boy Andrew Ettingshausen has opened up about his 12-month affair with a former teammate's wife.

Ettingshausen and his wife Monique posed for the latest edition of Australian Women's Weekly just two months after it was publicly revealed that Andrew had had a year-long affair with Ali Mellor, the wife of his former best friend and former Cronulla Sharks captain Paul Mellor.

Ettingshausen said he became depressed after a business venture went belly-up and he was seeing a psychiatrist.

"I feel far beneath any level of humankind," Andrew said.

"Every day, I cry tears of shame and my mind aches with an intensity that no medicine can cure."

The Ettingshausens' 24-year marriage was almost busted wide open in March when Paul Mellor blew the lid on affair.

Despite fronting up for the excruciating three-hour interview, Monique said she was yet to forgive her husband. 

ET said the couple were in debt after a fishing lodge in the Gulf of Carpentaria went bankrupt. It's believed the couple may have to sell their home.
