By . Simon Walters . The controversy over Tony Blair’s friendship with Wendi Deng intensified last night as new evidence emerged of the closeness between them. The Mail on Sunday can disclose that a cache of emails to and from Ms Deng and the former Prime Minister was discovered when her ex-husband Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce. And the newspaper can also reveal how: . Just good friends: Tony Blair and  Wendi Deng are understood to have exchanged several emails, fuelling the suspicions of her media tycoon husband Rupert Murdioch . The newspaper revealed in December that . Ms Deng’s crush on Mr Blair was laid bare in a note in which she . confessed how attractive she found him, and that the pair had stayed . overnight at one of Mr Murdoch’s homes without his knowledge. We were also first to reveal how a furious Mr Murdoch ended all ties with his former friend and ally, Mr Blair, because he felt ‘betrayed.’ Further details of lovestruck Ms Deng’s note, in which she praised Mr Blair’s ‘good body’, his ‘really, really good legs’ and even his ‘butt’ were revealed by US magazine Vanity Fair last week. It said staff at Mr Murdoch’s home in Carmel, California, were uneasy when Mr Blair arrived and tried to find her. Ms Deng revealed in in a note in how attractive she found Mr Blair,  praising his 'good body', 'good legs' and even his 'butt' The . magazine claimed they told him Ms Deng had gone to the master bedroom, . but ‘by the time they could tell her, Mr Blair was looking for her, they . found Mr Blair walking into the master bedroom and closing the door . behind him’. On another occasion ‘they were feeding each other during dinner, which made the staff uncomfortable’. Mr Blair's friends deny he had an affair with Ms Deng and the Mail on Sunday has no evidence to the contrary . Mr Blair’s allies have been rocked by . the ‘Wendi and Tony’ headlines. One female former Labour Minister and . ally confronted him: ‘Tony, look me in the eyes and tell me you did not . have an affair with Wendi.’ Mr Blair insisted he had not. Others have claimed he did not reciprocate Ms Deng’s feelings but was simply trying to help her cope with her marriage problems. Mr Blair’s friends deny he had an affair with Ms Deng and the Mail on Sunday has no evidence to the contrary. But . 82-year-old Mr Murdoch, chairman of the News Corp media giant, claims . he was deceived – and the furore shows no sign of going away. The . Mail on Sunday has been told that the warm feelings of Ms Deng for Mr . Blair were clear in a cache of emails sent from her newscorp.com email . address to Mr Blair and others. Mr Blair replied to many of them. An . ally of Mr Blair said: ‘Ms Deng was assisting with Mr Blair’s . Foundation and he is godfather to one of her children. It would be odd . if they didn’t exchange emails. They were not intimate.’ The . 300 pages of emails – some of which were sent between Ms Deng and Mr . Blair – came to light, along with her private note praising his ‘good . body,’ as Mr Murdoch was preparing for the divorce proceedings that led . to the end of their marriage in November last year. It . was a ‘careless’ email by Ms Deng, thought to have been sent to the . wrong person by mistake, that is believed to have given away her . meetings with Mr Blair in the first place. Apart: Wendi Deng and Rupert Murdoch. Mr Blair's friends deny he had an affair with Ms Deng . One of the reasons for the continuing . controversy is that fresh details of meetings all over the world . between Mr Blair and Ms Deng, without Mr Murdoch’s knowledge, keep . coming to light. The Mail on Sunday can reveal that they met late in the . evening at 5 Hertford Street on August 2, 2012. The club is in a former red-light . district where Tory peer Jeffrey Archer first became entangled in the . scandal that led to him being jailed when he met prostitute Monica . Coghlan in 1986, but is now one of the most expensive parts of London. It is run by Robin Birley, aristo- cratic son of socialite Lady Annabel Goldsmith, and Mark Birley, who founded Annabel’s. Prince . William and the Duchess of Cambridge are frequent visitors at  5 . Hertford Street, whose members include George Clooney, Tom Cruise and . Kate Moss. A source at the London office of Mr Murdoch’s News UK, which owns The Sun and The Times, said: ‘We know they met at Loulou’s.’ Together: Mr Blair and Ms Deng are understood to have met on a yacht in the Mediterranean owned by music mogul David Geffen . Mr Blair and Ms Deng are also said to have met at Rupert Murdoch's London apartment, left, and at his California ranch, right . Asked . yesterday if Mr Blair had met Ms Deng at Loulou’s, a source close to Mr . Blair initially dismissed it with contempt, saying ‘not only did they . not meet there, he has never even heard of it’. Asked . later if he had met Ms Deng at 5 Hertford Street, the source confirmed . Mr Blair was there. ‘He did meet her for a drink along with other . people. He was there for half an hour and then left to go for dinner.’ This newspaper has been told Mr Blair . and Ms Deng met at Mr Murdoch’s apartment in London’s Westminster twice . in four days in June 2012.
