A series of racy emails have emerged that were purportedly sent by news pundit Scottie Nell Hughes to Fox Business host Charles Payne during their three-year affair.

The emails come amid accusations by Hughes that Payne sexually harassed her and coerced her into the relationship with threats of reprisals - claims he denies.

Fox have suspended Payne in light of the allegations, but he says her claims are an 'ugly lie'.

Allegedly sent in September 2013, the emails graphically describe a sex dream Hughes supposedly had about the pair, as well as seeming innuendos, Red Alert Politics reported.

The Fox Business host (pictured with his wife) a married father, has admitted to the affair, but denies Hughes' claims that he coerced her into the relationship with threats of reprisals

The emails, obtained by the site from an unnamed source and supposedly verified by two separate sources, are all purportedly from Hughes to Payne.

The first of them was sent at 10:31 on September 3, 2013 and is titled 'RE: Another sleepless night.'

It reads: 'You are going to need every once [sic] of energy if we are ever given the chance of lots of time and no commitments'.

The second, dated six minutes later, graphically recounts a dream that Hughes supposedly has of the pair together.

'Do you know what I keep dreaming about.. You and I in the pool… My legs wrapped around your waste [sic] and you have me pressed up against the wall of the pool,' it reads.

'Skin glistening and smelling of coconut… You thrusting yourself deeper inside with each push… And your fingers grasping each of my cheeks. Holding me to you.'

The third and final email, titled 'RE: Tell me about the problems,' is dated September 7, 2013.

It concerned interactions between the pair, according to Red Alert Politics, and read: 'That is the ideal way to start a Saturday or any day for that matter.'

In the emails, Hughes appears to tell Payne about a sexy dream in a swimming pool. The emails also appear to imply weekend sexual encounters

The website also spoke to Kristina Lee Hall, who worked with Hughes at the Tea Party Network and said Hughes was notorious for sleeping with men she thought might advance her career.

Hall said that on a visit to the Tea Party conference in October 2012, Hughes slept with a party organizer while Hall was in the room.

A month later Hall, at an election-night 'war room', she said she walked in on Hughes and a nationally syndicated radio DJ: 'his pants were undone, half of her clothes were off, his hair was disheveled.'

Red Alert Politics claimed that it spoke to six other sources who either confirmed these details or said they were not surprised by them.

Scottie Nell Hughes and her manager, Michael Sanchez, have been contacted for comment but have yet to reply.

Payne was put in the spotlight on Thursday after it emerged he had been suspended from Fox Business, where he hosts Making Money, amid sexual harassment claims.

On Friday his accuser was revealed to be Hughes, who had appeared on Fox and CNN as an unpaid analyst and, latterly, Trump supporter.

The pair - who are both married - had a three-year affair stretching from 2013-2015, which was confirmed by Payne on Wednesday.

But he referred to the claims of harassment on Twitter as 'an ugly lie I vehemently deny to my core,' adding: 'There is a mountain of proof that also proves its a lie.'

The Fox host also said he 'will fight this like a lion armed with truth. Thanks so much to all those that have reached out in support. #FightingBack.'

Their relationship was well-known within Fox News circles, ten sources told the Huffington Post.

On Friday Payne made a series of tweets in which he refuted the claims made by Hughes

He claimed they were an 'ugly lie' and said he had a 'mountain of proof' to back him up

He promised to 'fight this like a lion armed with the truth'

Hughes is best known for her pro-Trump appearances on CNN during last year, when she made a string of gaffes, including referring to Molotov cocktails as 'Mazel Tov cocktails'.

But she also worked as an unpaid guest commentator on Fox from 2013-2016 - during which time she struck up an affair with the married father, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Hughes and her husband, Chris (both pictured), have two children. She reportedly hoped her relationship with Payne would get her a permanent place on Fox

They barely hid their illicit encounters, apparently sharing a hotel room at a May 2015 company trip to the Money Show in Las Vegas, sources told The Huffington Post.

Payne, who was hosting Making Money With Charles Payne at the event, disappeared with Hughes for 'hours' at one point, the sources claimed.

And Hughes, who is also married, attended Payne's birthday party at his home in 2015, where the pair's behavior reportedly made Payne's wife uncomfortable.

Hughes now claims that she was coerced into the relationship with threats of reprisals.

But she also told her lawyer that she had stayed in the relationship because she thought he would help her land a permanent position at the network, sources told the Times.

Hughes tried to talk about the situation with former head of programming Bill Shine, who left Fox News this May - but to no avail, her lawyer says.

She eventually reported the affair to Fox's law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, when it ended in 2015, telling them of the threats she had allegedly received.

She says that led to her being blackballed from the show.

But according to the Huffintgon Post, the channel stopped bringing her in after Payne's wife - upset by the pair's behavior at his birthday party - told Shine.

He then barred her from appearing on Fox News or Fox Business, multiple insiders said, despite her vehement support for Trump making her an ideal fit for the channels.

Hughes' lawyer is now preparing a legal complaint against Fox News and Payne.

Payne, a married father, acknowledged to the extramarital affair on Wednesday.

'I would like to extend an apology to my family and friends for having been involved in a romantic affair that ended two years ago,' he said in a statement to the National Enquirer.

However, Payne's s lawyer told the Los Angeles Times that his client 'categorically denies' any acts of sexual harassment against Hughes.

Fox Business recently renewed Payne's contract.

A spokesman for the channel said that the company takes 'issues of this nature extremely seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for any professional misconduct.'

He added: 'This matter is being thoroughly investigated and we are taking all of the appropriate steps to reach a resolution in a timely manner.'

As well as departing Fox, Hughes was dropped from CNN in part due to her on-air slips.

Hughes claims Fox stopped hiring her not because of Payne's wife's complaints, but because of a vendetta after she reported the affair and alleged harassment to their lawyers

She is now national spokesman for the pro-Trump PAC The Committee To Defend The President.

The accusations are the latest in a series of allegations of sexual misconduct at Fox.

Popular right-wing host Billy O’Reilly found out he was fired from the network in April, while on vacation in Italy, after an African-American woman accused him of sexual harassment.

She said he would call her 'hot chocolate' when he walked by during the day, and would grunt at her 'like a wild boar'.

O'Reilly denies all the claims against him.

Ex-Fox News Latino Vice President Francisco Cortes and 21st Century Fox settled sexual assault allegations against him by political commentator, Tamara Holder.

But the biggest departure came last year when former boss Roger Ailes was forced to resign amid a flurry of sexual misconduct allegations.

He left Fox with a $60 million payout.
