EXCLUSIVE: Professional footballer Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale have been seen looking ‘loved up’ at Glastonbury after rumours of a bust up during a holiday in Greece
Smitten couple Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale have been spotted strolling around Glastonbury on the second day of the festival.
The couple looked relaxed in some classic Glastonbury ensembles as they walked through the VIP area of the festival. Professional footballer Andy, 36, wore his long locks down while Lou, 41, opted for a relax outfit consisting of a lose t-shirt and some baggy denim shorts.
A source told The Mirror: “Lou and Andy appeared to put their holiday spat behind them. They were very touchy feely and he couldn’t stop popping his arm around here”.
It comes after the couple admitted they were spoken to by police following a row between the couple on the Greek island of Mykonos. The pair, who have been dating since last year following the footballer’s split with the mum of his three kids, Billi Mucklow, revealed they’d had a “heated discussion” while on the party island, but that things had been “blown out of proportion”.
Andy was reportedly questioned about a bust-up he’d had with Lou at a packed beachside restaurant and then at their hotel. One worker at the Nikolus Tavern said of the first argument: “We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately. He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.”
Reports claimed that police arrived and took the former West Ham ace, who was “very calm” to one side for a chat. He was later allowed to return to Lou, who is a well-known celebrity hairstylist.
However, hours later police were reportedly called again by staff after reports of damage to the couple’s room at a £500-a-night boutique hotel.
Officers are said to have escorted Andy to a local station for questioning but no arrests were made. Another source claimed Lou did not stay with her boyfriend that night.
They said: “After the restaurant episode, there was another incident at the hotel. This time, the footballer went to the police station. We know the woman stayed somewhere else that night.”
Meanwhile, a British holidaymaker who reportedly spotted the pair while out for a stroll accused Andy of being “very drunk” adding that he shouted at Lou: “I’m done with us!”
Responding to the reports, Andy and Lou admitted that the police were called following their “heated discussion”, however they insisted things had been “blown out of proportion”, issuing a joint statement which read: “Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there.
“We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to ‘look after’ us.
“As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested, and no one was charged with anything.
“We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together, and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.”
