The wife of ex England and Spurs star Jonathan Woodgate has incurred the wrath of residents who claim there is a 'disgusting smell' caused by blocked drains at her dance academy.
Natalie Woodgate, 39, has been accused of turning a suburban street in Middlesbrough into a smelly and traffic-congested 'hellhole'.
It's claimed that the drainage system at a former Ormesby Methodist Church cannot cope with the number of children being taught at the now dance school.
Mrs Woodgate, who returned to their former home of Middlesbrough with the former Leeds, Newcastle and Real Madrid player, is also accused of using the streets as 'a convenient car park' for her clients, causing traffic chaos.
