Masseur denies causing Nigel Evans' scar The vertical scar, which runs from the top of Mr Evans" forehead, caused speculation after his arrest at the weekend over allegations of sexual assault and rape - which the 55-year-old strongly denies. Mr Evans said the scar was a result of massage for a tension headache, and produced a card for the massage parlour in Soho where he says he got the treatment, and painkillers he had been taking for the headache. The masseur who was on duty at the time of Mr Evans" visit told The Times the parlour in Whitcomb Street, which specialises in relaxation techniques, did do tension headache treatment but said he could not remember if he had treated the Ribble Valley MP or not. Speaking through a colleague, Ma Xin, manager of the shop, said: "If I did leave a mark it would have been a small red mark. It would not have been a big, bloody mark. Mr Evans has criticised speculations raised about the injury as making claims about his sexuality. He said: "You think, if I was heterosexual would they be inferring some of these things? It hurts. He claims he went to the massage parlour on Thursday afternoon when he was on his way back from picking up some theatre tickets. He said: "Right at the very end his nails must have dug in there. Hence the thing. It's just bruised skin, I guess. Mr Evans was arrested on Saturday morning over the allegations. It has since emerged he was interviewed four years ago about allegations of "inappropriate sexual behaviour" by senior Conservatives, but the matter was not reported to police. He was released on police bail on Saturday evening until June 19. He has since thanked supporters for what he says were the "worst two days of my life" after he was questioned by police. Mr Evans has also confirmed he will not stand down from his post while the allegations are investigated. Speaker
