Friday 27 May 2022 04:28 PM Party girl who took a selfie in bed with Andy Carroll on his stag do broke off ... trends now
The party girl snapped sharing a bed with footballer Andy Carroll on his stag-do broke off her own wedding and jetted off to Dubai to start a new life.
Like Carroll's bride-to-be Billi Mucklow, Taylor Wilkey was carefully planning the final details of her own nuptials less than a year ago.
But to the shock of her fiance of nine years, garden centre manager Ricky Nock, she broke off the wedding and flew to the Emirate to start a new life.
Friends of the former couple say Ricky, 35, was left 'shattered' by the sudden end to their engagement. He and his family declined to comment today.
However a source close to the ex-couple said: 'It all came so suddenly to Ricky, if Taylor had been having doubts it wasn't evident to anyone.
'They were first due to get married in June 2020 but when the pandemic struck they realised they weren't going to be able to have to ceremony she'd always hoped for.
'They had been together for nine years and were seen as a rock solid couple so it came as a shock to everyone when it was called off. They had a house together and appeared to be planning their lives together but Taylor suddenly had other ideas.
'She wanted to go to Dubai to start again and that's what she did. He's still in Scarborough getting on with his life.
The source added: 'It came as a real shock to see those pictures of her with Andy Carroll so close to his wedding.
'She said it was innocent and perhaps it was but I don't think it's the kind of thing she'd have wanted to see before her own wedding if it had gone ahead.'
It comes as pictures revealed how footballer Andy Carroll's stag getaway turned from calm to chaos - starting with a glowing snap with his bride-to-be and ending passed out on a bed with a blonde bar manager.
The ex-England striker, 33, arrived in Dubai on Sunday, following in the footsteps of his fiancée - reality TV's Billi Mucklow - who had been there the week before celebrating her hen-do.
Sharing a sweet picture showing the soon-to-be-weds together in the Emirate state, the 34-year-old former TOWIE star joked that her husband-to-be had 'gatecrashed' her party before calling their trip a 'STEN do' - a combination of stag and hen.
And all appeared to be going well for Carroll on Monday when he and his stag party - including former West Ham teammate Robert Snodgrass and Newcastle stars Paul Dummett and Mark Gillespie - posed topless on the golden sands of a Dubai beach.
But by Wednesday night the former Premier League striker was snapped passed out next to Ms Wilkey following a 'boozy' day of drinking.

Friends of Carroll and his fiancee Ms Mucklow last night told The Sun the pictures were 'embarrassing' so close to their wedding.
However Ms Wilkey - who says the pictures were leaked on Snapchat after she sent them to her friends back in the UK - insists nothing sexual happened with the 6ft4in forward. 'It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun,' she told the paper.
The release of the images comes just two weeks before Carroll and former TOWIE star Ms Mucklow are set to wed after an eight year engagement.
