Sandra Bullock has cancelled the British premiere of 'The Blind Side', for which she won the best actress Oscar, amid claims that she is upset after learning that her husband cheated on her with a model.

According to a US publication, Bullock's husband Jesse James had an 11-month relationship with Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee, whose body is almost entirely covered in tattoos, reports dailymail.co.uk.

The tattooed lady told In Touch magazine that she called 40-year-old James her 'Vanilla Gorilla' and gave salacious details of their time together.

Bullock was expected to attend the first London screening of 'The Blind Side' on Tuesday with her co-star, newcomer Quinton Aaron. But in a statement, Warner Brothers announced that the event and its accompanying parties were off because 'unforeseen circumstances' had arisen which meant Bullock was 'no longer available to travel'.

The actress had a string of unsuccessful relationships before meeting James, a former bodyguard to heavy metal groups, when she took her young godson to the set of his now-axed TV show 'Monster Garage'. She became his third wife almost five years ago.
