A sorry saga: Kristen Stewart is swept off her feet by married director Rupert Sanders as he wraps his arms around her and nuzzles her neck at a secluded stop-off in Los Angeles on July 17

These are the astonishing photographs which capture Kristen Stewart locked in a series of steamy encounters with married director Rupert Sanders.

The candid pictures lay bare the duplicitous pair's intimate betrayal of their respective partners, Robert Pattinson and Liberty Ross, who have been left heartbroken in the wake of the scandal.

Kristen and Rupert may have thought their afternoon of passion was being conducted away from prying eyes.


This wasn't in the script: Stewart, who was directed by Sanders in Snow White And The Huntsman, kisses Sanders as they sit inside her car during the same afternoon

Up close and personal: The pair thought they were conducting their fling away from prying eyes - but it marked the moment they were caught out

But unfortunately for them, July 17 marked the moment they were well and truly caught out.

Two weeks later the photographs - showing them kissing and hugging at secluded stop-offs around Los Angeles - were published in American magazine Us Weekly.

It saw Kristen's shy and retiring image turned upside down over night and caused outrage among devastated Twilight fans.

Affectionate: The pair engage in a playful tussle with a smitten Sanders unable to keep his hands off her

Embrace: In another intimate shot, Kristen and Rupert share a lingering hug

Not only has it left a dark stain on her reputation and - some say - tainted the Twilight franchise, but the scandal has thrown the spotlight on to Rupert Sanders.

The British director might be used to standing behind the camera - but, along with Stewart, he has been thrust centre stage of the resulting media onslaught.

By his own admission, he is now 'praying' that he can ride the storm - and save his marriage to British Vogue model Liberty Ross, 33, who he has two young children with, Skyla and Tennyson.


Sneaky behaviour: The publication of the incriminating photographs forced the pair to each release public apologies to their respective partners


Hands entwined: K-Stew and Rupert were both dressed casually, with the 22-year-old actress opting for jogging bottoms, a white vest top and red trainers

Hardly a fairytale: Sanders is married with two children... but couldn't resist getting his fangs stuck in to the Twilight actress

At 19 years Stewart's senior, some have pointed the finger more firmly at the 41-year-old filmmaker for engaging her young and impressionable sensibilities.

Whatever the case, the pair were each forced into a remorseful public apology - making it the first time Stewart has ever acknowledged her four-year relationship with 26-year-old R-Patz.

She called it a 'momentary indiscretion', conceding the fling had 'jeopardised the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most...'

Gushing, in a very unlike-Stewart way, she pleaded: 'Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry.'

Sanders referred to his 'beautiful wife and heavenly children,' adding: 'I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.'

More than a week on from the news breaking, the torrid tale has generated a constant stream of headlines, while the question still remains as to how the story will resolve.

Fast and furious: Kristen's 'momentary indiscretion' appears to know no bounds

Pattinson, who remains in hiding, is said to be taking the news hard - and drowning his sorrows.

People.com reported this week that Robert has been 'drinking and relying on friends to deal with the pain'.

After moving out of his LA love nest with Stewart, the actor sought refuge at his Water For Elephants co-star Reese Witherspoon's Ojai ranch in California.

Liberty, who played Kristen's on-screen mother in the Huntsman, meanwhile, is said to have banned Rupert from ever working with Kristen again.

It's cast doubt on whether he will get to helm the rumoured sequel movie.

As for R-Patz and K-Stew, they still have a final film to promote in November, Breaking Dawn Part 2.

No doubt the studio behind the blockbuster franchise - Summit Entertainment - is praying the pair stick it out for one last red carpet hurrah.

But once Twilight ends, will they too?

Emotional melt down: Will Ferrell went on a tongue-in-cheek tirade about Kristin Stewart's affair on Conan

Will Ferrell has branded Kristen Stewart a 'trampire' for cheating on Robert Pattinson.

The Everything Must Go star appeared on TV talk show Conan and 'broke down' over the actress' split from Robert Pattinson - who she first me on the set of vampire franchise The Twilight Saga.

When host Conan O'Brien asked a forlorn Will what was wrong with him the comedy actor jokingly opened his heart over his feelings about Kristen's affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

Twihard: The comedian feigned outrage over the split during the interview

In what appeared to be a spoof of super-fan Nutty Madam's tearful video post about Kristen's cheating, he said: 'I don't know if you follow the news at all, but there's this actress, Kristen Stewart and she goes by K-Stew, and she had a boyfriend Robert Pattinson - he's R-Patz - and she cheated on him.

'And they've broken up, they're not going to get back together, ever. What they had was so special Conan, you don't even know what they had, they were in love and she just threw it all away.'

Pretending to hold back tears, he added: 'I don't know if there was anything I could have done to prevent this. I don't know what it means to the Twilight franchise. It's not going to be fine ever!'

He shouted: 'It's never going to be fine. She is a trampire, that's what she is.'

The audience cheered loudly as he called Kristen a 'trampire'.

The 22-year-old starlet and Robert, 26, have both moved out of their Los Angeles home and the heartbroken actor is staying at his friend Reese Witherspoon's holiday home in California as he tries to get over his heartbreak.

•Dismay at team sprint disqualification all forgotten as she grabs keirin gold
•Pendleton is cheered on by 6,000 fans as she drapes the Union Flag around herself on victory lap
•Tears of previous disappointment are swapped for tears of exhilaration
•Individual sprint next week offers chance of another gold

Just 24 hours earlier, she was left sobbing when a basic error shattered her hopes of gold.

But an emotional Victoria Pendleton found redemption in the Velodrome last night, claiming the Olympic medal she had dreamt of for four years.

After the heartbreak of her effective disqualification on Thursday, one of the poster girls of London 2012 powered to a thrilling win in the keirin, to the delight of 6,000 frenzied home supporters.


She's done it! Victoria Pendleton celebrates after winning gold in the women's keirin


Wheels of fire: Victoria Pendleton flies the Union Flag after her gold medal triumph tonight

Sweet: Victoria Pendleton sends a message of love to her boyfriend Scott Gardner from the podium after securing keirin gold

There was ecstasy and relief as ‘Queen Victoria’ hugged members of her backroom team, a Union Flag draped around her shoulders.

A hug and kiss were lavished on her fiancé Scott Gardner, a sports scientist whose relationship with her has caused scandal. That was because he was on the staff of the cycling team and such liaisons were frowned on.

The fallout – which saw him quit his job – was forgotten last night as Pendleton powered home to gold.

Following her victory, she said: ‘I was searching for him desperately in the crowd, I didn’t know where he was ... I am so glad I found him.

‘I can hardly believe it, I just had to focus really hard and the crowd was fantastic, it really helped me. I didn’t look for their race, I just raced my own and showed what I have got.’

With remarkable understatement she added: ‘When it is your moment, you just have to go.’


Tears of joy: For double Olympic gold winner Pendleton, it was an emotional moment when she received her medal in front of her home crowd

Moment to treasure: Pendleton brushed off the disappointment of her team sprint disqualification to wrap up gold

The win makes the 31 year old the most successful British woman track cyclist.

Growing up in Bedfordshire, her father Max – a champion racer himself – first put her on a bike aged six.

When they went riding he would cycle far ahead forcing her to catch up. Pendleton, who has an elder sister Nicola, grew up competing with her twin brother Alex, which gave her a competitive edge.

While he was faster and better technically, he did not have her desire – honed and hardened from an early age under their father’s tutelage.

After graduating in sports science from Northumbria University, Pendleton became a full-time professional, winning her first national title in 1998.

Fourteen years later, she has said that this Olympics would be her last competition.

A champion in the Beijing Games of 2008, the charismatic, but sometimes moody, star of women’s cycling had been at fault on Thursday when she and Jess Varnish had been demoted for a technical error in the team sprint. Last night she was determined to make amends and there were no sign of nerves as the Velodrome, known as The Pringle because of its distinctive shape, became a cockpit of noise and excitement.

Double glory: Pendleton found redemption in the Velodrome tonight following her disqualification just 24 hours earlier. Afterwards she found a moment to embrace with fiance Scott Gardner

The keirin – in which six riders follow a motorcycle around until the speed reaches 45km an hour and are then released to race – is not Pendleton’s specialist event.

But she overtook her great rival Anna Mears of Australia and held off the Chinese rider Guo Shuang in a desperately tight finish.

Mears appeared to have sprinted too early and when Pendleton made her burst with barely two laps left the Australian was boxed in and unable to respond.

Competing in her third Olympics – she almost gave up after disappointing performances in Athens in 2004 – Pendleton has a final chance of gold next week in the individual sprint.

She and Mears are favourites to win the event which was claimed by the Briton four years ago in Beijing.

That victory brought fame and wealth and she has appeared on the front cover of dozens of magazines and in TV commercials as well as being photographed naked for a modelling shoot.

In her glittering career, she has won nine world titles – including a record-equalling six in the individual sprint – in addition now to golds in London and Beijing.

Take That’s the Greatest Day and Chariots of Fire rang out as she prepared to pick up her gold at the victory ceremony.

Pendleton formed a heart shape in front of her chest with her fingers as she waited behind the top step of the podium.

While the accredited seating areas soon emptied after the race, thousands of fans in the stands stayed waving their flags and cheering.

Joy: Jessica Ennis raises her arms in celebration after finishing the 200-meter race in the heptathlon competition earlier today

Jessica Ennis sent the Olympic stadium into raptures yesterday with Act One of a stellar heptathlon performance – then she got set for gold.

The 26-year-old star brought a capacity crowd to its feet with a sensational start to the athletics, setting a British record in the event for the 100-metre hurdles.

Now she is preparing for Act Two today, with a chance to fulfil her dream, and with hopes of a gold medal weighing constantly on her slender shoulders.


Event four: Jessica Ennis claims a personal best in the 200m to put her back in the driving seat for heptathlon gold

Thumbs up: Ennis is leading the way in the heptathlon after the first day of action at the Olympic Stadium

In remarkable scenes before 80,000 spectators and a TV audience of millions, she jumped for joy... ran for glory... and won the support of a nation for the most important two days in her sporting life.

At one stage she was conducting applause from the track by raising her arms and turning 360 degrees around the vast Olympic stadium, creating the most electrifying atmosphere it has seen so far.

‘Go girl! Go Jess!’ they bellowed, chanting ‘En-nis! En-nis!’ until it reached a crescendo.

But the Sheffield-born champion was rendered ‘speechless’ when she saw her 12.54 second record for the 100-metre hurdles flash up on the scoreboard – a lifetime best, and equal to the gold medal winning time in the women’s hurdles in Beijing.

Record run: Ennis ran a personal best in the 200m putting her on top of the leader board

The amazing performance propelled her instantly to the top of the leader board, precisely the kind of start she needed. And still the crowd cheered.

‘Show us yer abs!’, a lone voice demanded as she took off her tracksuit for the high jump. (The 2012 poster girl has come to be known as the Ab Fab pin-up because of her enviable six-pack abdominal muscles and torso, repeatedly grandstanded yesterday to the delight of front-row spectators).

Sometimes the crowd cranked up the volume so much it drowned out the names of the athletes as they were announced on loudspeakers. When they clapped and stamped their feet, it vibrated all through the stands.

Home support: The crowd inside the Olympic Stadium roared as the 26-year-old stepped up for her attempt

‘It just blew me away to be honest,’ Ennis said afterwards. ‘How much they got behind me was amazing. You try and prepare yourself but it’s nothing like you can imagine. It was a great start to the day.’

The athletics were conducted in breaks between a loudspeaker soundtrack that blared out hits from the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, among others – plus Bob Marley’s Sun is Shining when it pelted with rain for a few minutes, flooding uncovered areas in the stands and drenching lower-tier spectators in their seats.

Barely a single empty seat could be spotted inside the stadium when Ennis and her team-mates were in the arena.

Her parents Vinnie Ennis and Alison Powell were here – waving a Union Flag and cheering their daughter towards victory at every stage. ‘This is her dream,’ they said – then spoke of their hopes that she will achieve her ambition to win gold in front of a home crowd.

Spirit: Jessica Ennis congratulates Katerina Johnson Thompson as she competes in the high jump phase of the pentathlon

‘She has dreamed about this for so long,’ Miss Powell said. ‘It has been a long wait, and she has worked very hard.’

Elsewhere, crowds gathered at a giant screen in the Olympic Park, the Stratford equivalent of Wimbledon’s Murray Mount.

There was another in Sheffield’s Don Valley stadium, where she first ran as a 13-year-old. Her secondary school hosted a final ‘good luck’ celebration, and the city council appeared to have contingency plans to cope with a chaotic homecoming if she returns triumphant.

On the internet, Facebook mentions of ‘Ennis’ increased 600-fold around the time she chalked up her first stunning result.

But it meant Ennis, who was absent from Beijing four years ago through injury, is now under intense pressure to come up with a gold.

Uniquely in the public mind, and possibly in her own, winning mere silver would be regarded as failure. Tony Minichiello, her coach since childhood, said she was probably the only person in the British track-and-field team who, if she fails to win gold, it would be viewed as a loss.

It appears someone has too much time on their hands.

Miley Cyrus has tweeted yet another picture of herself and her ultra miniature waist.

The Hannah Montana actress was clearly so impressed with her own figure, that she even chopped off her head from the snapshot to focus solely on her taut and toned midriff.

Alongside the picture, the 19-year-old added the caption: 'my "Fiance" jeans. but for real though.'

Too much time on her hands: Miley Cyrus posts yet another show-off picture of herself in which she flaunts her flat stomach, alongside the comment: 'my "Fiance" jeans. but for real though.'

The wording is a play on the popular boyfriend-style of jeans that are popular with girls who favour baggier trousers and the fact that Miley is now engaged to Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth.

Following the former Disney princess' obsession with Pilates and workouts, it seems her figure has continued to shrink, with Miley taunting critics by flaunting her sculpted body at every opportunity.

Even her fitness instructor spoke out on the issue, but in Miley's defense saying there is nothing to worry about when it comes to the Party In The USA singer's health.

Mari Winsor told People: 'I think people need to chill out. She's healthy and she feels good, that's the main thing. She's smart about her body. She wanted to sculpt her body, that's all.'

Then and now: Miley pictured in at a Brisbane gig in June 2011 - compared to her recent skinny minnie tweets

The fitness guru added: 'When this girl comes in, she is on fire. She's focused.'

But whatever Miley's secret, it seems she may not be so sure herself - or at least, doesn't want anyone to know.

Back in April, she claimed her changing shape was not a quest for size zero, but a health issue.

Cyrus tweeted: 'For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight, it's about health.'

However, last night she insists she does eat, saying: 'upallnighteatinchicken&waffles/makin beats'.
