A FORMER Parliament House barmaid has gone public with claims of a sexual relationship with South Australian Premier Mike Rann.

Mr Rann's links with Ms Chantelois have been the subject of intense speculation since her estranged husband Richard Wayne Phillips was charged with assaulting the Premier with a rolled-up magazine at a Labor Party fundraiser in September.

Ms Chantelois detailed how a near-decade-long friendship with Mr Rann became an intimate relationship.

Mr Rann married Sasha Carruozzo in July 2006.

The day after the alleged assault by Mr Phillips, Mr Rann said he he did not know the reason for the attack.

Mr Phillips is due to appear in court next month on a charge of aggravated assault.
