Joanna Majic, 38, admitted she had a two year on-off relationship with the rock star from 2006, but dumped him when he told her his sexual fantasies revolved around child abuse.
The singer, a former boyfriend of BBC presenter Fearne Cotton and model Alexa Chung, also admitted he used his Lostprophets fame to turn young girls into ‘Superfans’ willing to allow him to abuse their children.
Yesterday Watkins was described as a 'determined and committed paedophile' after he admitted attempting to rape a fan's 11-month-old baby son along with 10 other child sex offences.

Mug shot: Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins faces jail today after he admitted a series of sexual offences against babies
'I warned them this man was a danger to young kids but I think they thought I was just a trouble maker.
'I couldn’t believe how indifferent the police were, it was like they were taking his side and dismissing me as some stalker.
'I told Ian I had gone to the police and we argued but he was so cocky, he did not think the police would touch him and he was right.
'It was then I realised I had to turn off any feelings I had for him and turn on my escort mode.
'I had to treat him as any other client and try and get as much evidence as I could while pretending to be whatever it was he wanted me to be'.
At Cardiff Crown Court yesterday Watkins pleaded guilty to attempting to rape the 11-month-old baby of a fan 'Woman A' and conspiring to rape the baby daughter of another fan 'Woman B'.
The two fans, both in their twenties and from different parts of England, are also facing jail after admitting their role in the sex offences on their own children.
Cardiff Crown Court heard Watkins was videoed committing the depraved acts and was 'clearly identifiable' because of his many tattoos and his voice.
But Watkins claimed not to remember doing it because he was a 'heavy user' of class A drugs including Crystal Meth at the time.
Watkins spoke only to enter his pleas as he admitted attempting to rape the baby.
The singer, dressed in a three-piece dark blue suit, also admitted sexually assaulting the baby by touching him.
A laptop seized from Watkins's home was password protected and was later sent to GCHQ to have it 'cracked.'
Experts found the password was an obscene reference to child abuse and contained a cache of extreme pornography.
Investigation:
South Wales Police are now investigating a detective sergeant accused
of not investigating Ian Watkins before he abused a baby
Further accusations that the depraved Lostprophets singer was reported for sexual indecency to police before he attempted to rape an 11-month-old baby boy emerged today.
South Wales Police are accused of failing to 'take appropriate and timely action' after getting the information from other fans of the band.
The investigation centres on the detective sergeant - who is understood to have worked in child protection services in Watkins home town of Pontypridd, South Wales.
The sergeant, formerly based in the regional command HQ in Pontypridd, is currently being probed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
South Wales Police allegedly received information from four different police forces across Britain about Watkins.

One fan said: 'There was stuff about Watkins for years on fans websites. The police should have acted a lot, lot sooner.
'People who knew Watkins could see he was getting deeper and darker. He should have been stopped earlier.'
IPCC Commissioner for Wales Tom Davies said: 'We received a referral from South Wales Police on 25 January 2013 relating to Ian Watkins.
'Following a thorough assessment I have decided that we will carry out an independent investigation.
'Our investigation will determine whether or not South Wales Police failed to take appropriate and timely action in relation to information they were in receipt of in advance of Mr Watkins subsequent arrest.'
Mr Davies added: 'The referral from the force was into the alleged inaction of one officer, who is also being investigated in a separate case over similar allegations.'
A South Wales Police spokesman said: 'The investigation is in the IPCC's hands
