Former England striker, Andy Carroll has been embroiled in a cheating scandal after he was photographed on a bed with a woman just two weeks before he is due to marry his fiancée, Billi Mucklow.

It was gathered that the 33-year-old footballer had flown to Dubai to surprise Billi while she was on her hen do, two days before she and her friends flew back and his stag do began.
Carroll is alleged to have spent the day partying with a bar manager, Taylor Jane Wilkey, beginning at a club, before the ex-Liverpool star invited her and two friends to another bar and to his hotel for an afterparty.
Taylor, 27, had taken selfies with Carroll, who was passed out on the bed, and sent them to her friends in the UK before they went viral on social media.
In another image, the 27-year-old is seen wearing the father-of-four’s personalized bathrobe with ‘Andy Carroll’ embroidered on the chest.

The hotel manager’s friends who she sent them to in the UK reacted to the photos saying: “This is all very embarrassing with the wedding so close.”
Reacting to the backlash, Taylor told The Sun: “It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun“, adding that the photo was taken on Wednesday night “as a joke”.
She explained: “It was an afterparty. We all went back to his hotel. There was me, Andy and my female friend. I didn’t sleep with him, it wasn’t like that, there was three of us in the room.
“It was a full day and night of drinking, we’d been at Cove Beach since 12, it was a really boozy day. Andy was steaming, we were all drunk.”
“We went back to Andy’s hotel suite and we played some music and he got into bed and passed out. I was there with my friend until the early hours and took the photo as a joke.
“My mates back home were goading me for the lowdown so I took that picture for a laugh and sent it to them. Nothing sexual happened. It was just a bit of banter.”
Explaining why she wore his personalized robe, Taylor said she wanted to sleep so she took off her dress in the bathroom and put on one of Carroll’s bathrobes.
She stressed: “At the end of the day nothing happened that should ruin his relationship. It was just a bit of fun.”
Taylor also confirmed she had been partying with Carroll at Cove Beach bar then her and her friends met the stag party at a nightclub later.
She added: “We went to a club and were dancing, it was a great night.”
This comes after Andy Carroll teamed up with wife-to-be Billi Mucklow in Dubai last week before she and hen party pals flew home to the UK.
Andy and Billi, who have been engaged since 2014, are due to marry in two weeks. The footballer has two young children with Billi and two from a previous relationship.
