Andy Carroll has reportedly put his £8.5million mansion up for sale with estranged wife Billi Mucklow said to be fuming with the former Liverpool and Newcastle United ace.
Carroll and Mucklow, who featured on television show The Only Way Is Essex, announced confirmation of their split in September, with the former having already moved on.
The 6ft3 striker is in a new relationship with celebrity stylist Lou Teasdale – something ex-partner Mucklow reportedly isn’t best pleased with.
A source told The Sun: “Billi has been left hurt and blind-sided that Andy appears to have moved on so quickly with Lou. It feels very public and embarrassing, especially as they only split in summer.
“Billi has a close-knit family and they have been left livid with Andy over his lack of loyalty, but are rallying around her to support her.
“Billi wants to cut ties but she doesn’t like the idea that Andy can come and go as he pleases.
“She realises the house is part of their divorce discussions, but she doesn’t want him turning up unannounced, particularly with his new girlfriend.”
The house, which was bought for £4.1m five years ago from Sir Rod Stewart, was the couple’s family home before their split earlier this year.

Boasting a pool, tennis court, boating lake and football pitch, the estate is now set to go on the market, according to The Sun.
It comes after Carroll joined fourth-tier French side Bordeaux – a move that’s said to be costing 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 demoted to France’s fourth tier.

He continued: “I thought about it [moving to Bordeaux], and I said to myself that I loved living in France, but I wasn’t playing as much as I wanted at Amiens even if I had a really nice time at the club.
“I received a lot of messages which said: ‘You could still play in England at a very good level’. But I want to thrive playing football in a nice environment, and that is exactly what I am doing now.
“The people I met at Amiens or Bordeaux treat me like a person, not like a footballer. In England, people perceive me as an aggressive personality because of my image of being a big player. I am not like that in my everyday life, but in my country, only my family and friends know this.”
