Ex-England football star Andy Carroll was questioned twice by Greek police over a series of bust-ups with girlfriend Lou Teasdale while the pair holidayed in Mykonos, it has been reported.
Carroll, 36, was interrogated about the arguments with his make-up artist lover in a restaurant and at their hotel on the Greek party island, the Sun on Sunday reports.
Speaking about the first incident, a worker at the Nikolus Tavern told the newspaper: ‘He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner.
‘He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.’
According to the restaurant worker, police arrived and took the ex-Liverpool, Newcastle United and England striker aside for a chat, before he was later allowed back to girlfriend Lou.
‘Police spoke to him. He was allowed to return, and the couple left after paying for their meal. Andy was very calm when the police arrived — he stood up and spoke to them outside the restaurant’, the restaurant worker added.
Just hours later, cops were called again by hotel staff following reports of damage in their room.
MailOnline understands that the former England forward – once Britain’s most expensive Premier League footballer when bought by Liverpool from Newcastle for £35million – was taken to the police station for questioning, but he was not arrested and no further action was taken.
The incident was confirmed by a hotel employee, who claimed Carroll broke the door.
That night, Lou left the hotel and spent the night at Soho Roc House.
MailOnline has approached Carroll and Teasdale’s representatives for comment.
A joint statement from the couple given to The Sun said: ‘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.’
The pair began dating last year after he separated from his TOWIE star wife Billi Mucklow last September.
Carroll and Mucklow called it quits divorce after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year.
In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Carroll was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.
Mucklow forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened.
Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple’s marriage was over – with Carroll confirming they had started divorce proceedings after ‘a hard few months for our family’.
Carroll said in a statement at the time: ‘Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings’.
‘It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.’
Carroll and Mucklow have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship.
