A

magazine reported Friday that Francois Hollanderoutinely rides a scooter to spend the night with an actress, an alleged affairthat has created yet another headache for the unpopular French president.

Hollande reacted furiously to the allegation -- backed up by photos reportedly showing the president entering the flat of actress Julie Gayet -- but did not deny it, threatening legal action over what he called an attack on his right to privacy.

Closer'€™s Friday edition carried a seven-page spread on the 59-year-old president'€™s alleged infidelity under the headline '€œFrancois Hollande and Julie Gayet - the president'€™s secret love'€.

'€œIt'€™s a real passion that has... turned their lives upside down and makes them take insane risks,'€ the magazine wrote. To back up its claims, the magazine printed photos of Gayet, 41, arriving at a flat in an upmarket part of Paris on Dec. 30, not far from the Elysee palace where Hollande lives
