Andy Carroll has reportedly put his £8.5million mansion up for sale with his estranged wife Billi Mucklow, who was reportedly furious with the former Liverpool And Newcastle United ace.
Carroll and Mucklow, who appeared on the television program The Only Way Is Essex, announced the confirmation of their split in September, with the former having already moved on.
The 6ft3 forward is in a new relationship with celebrity stylist Lou Teasdale – something ex-partner Mucklow is reportedly not very happy about.
A source said The sun: “Billi is left hurt and blindsided that Andy seems to have moved on with Lou so quickly. It feels very public and awkward, especially since they only break up in the summer.
“Billi has a close-knit family and they are furious with Andy for his lack of loyalty, but they rally around her to support her.
‘Billi wants to cut ties, but she doesn’t like the idea of Andy being able to come and go as he pleases.
“She realizes the house is part of their divorce talks, but she doesn’t want him showing up unannounced, especially with his new girlfriend.”
The house, which was bought for £4.1million from Sir Rod Stewart five years ago, was the couple’s childhood home before they split earlier this year.
The estate features a swimming pool, tennis court, boating lake and football pitch and is now ready to hit the market, according to The Sun.
It comes after Carroll joined fourth French side Bordeaux, a move which reportedly cost him money to play.
Speaking to L’Equipe, the former England international said: “With my salary I can’t even pay the rent. If I moved to Bordeaux it wasn’t because of the money.”
Les Girondins were declared bankrupt earlier this year before being relegated to France’s fourth tier.
He continued: “I thought about it (moving to Bordeaux), and I told myself that I loved living in France, but I didn’t play as much as I wanted at Amiens, even though I had a very nice time at the club.
“I got a lot of messages saying: ‘You could still play at a very good level in England’. But I want to flourish by playing football in a beautiful environment, and that is exactly what I am doing now.
“The people I met in Amiens or Bordeaux treat me like a person, not like a footballer. In England people consider me as an aggressive personality because of my image as a big player. In my daily life I am not like that, but in my country only my family and friends know this.”
