Billi Mucklow ditches engagement ring after Andy Carroll stag shame

Billi Mucklow has been spotted without her engagement ring as she was pictured for the first time since drama erupted surrounding fiancé Any Carroll's Dubai stag weekend.

The footballer was captured passed out in a bed beside Taylor Jane Wilkey after enjoying a boozy day out with pals, just two weeks ahead of his impending nuptials.

Former TOWIE star Billi is reported to be fuming after the photos came to light of her 33-year-old other half.

The snaps, obtained by The Sun, show Billi sporting a pair of black shades as she had a low key trip out to the shops, minus her four-carat ring.

The reality star turned yoga teacher was casually-clad in a black tracksuit and clutched onto her Chanel handbag with her ring-free hand.

She was joined on the outing by her mother.

Since the picture went viral, Billi is reported to have changed her WhatsApp picture to just one of her children and she's said to have fled to her parents' house.

"Billi is very angry and her deleting Andy from her WhatsApp profile tells those who know her all they need to know," a source told The Sun.

"She is still sticking by him but it’s a very confusing and difficult time."

The reality star is said to have asked her fiancé for all the photos related to the incident.

The source added: "It's the only way she can move on — however bad it is."

The picture in which Andy appears fast asleep next to a woman was shared by bar manager Taylor Jane, 27.

However Taylor maintains "nothing sexual happened" between the pair and the photo was just a bit of fun.

Andy is planning on marrying Billi this month after proposing to Billi in 2014.

She was also in Dubai on her hen do but returned home before her future husband's celebrations got under way in the United Arab Emirates.

Carroll ended up passed out next to Taylor following a day of boozing in Dubai.

The footballer is alleged to have invited Taylor and her friend Phoebe Robb - plus his mates - up to his hotel suite to carry on the party, where the now infamous picture was taken.

According to The Sun, there are more photos from the hotel suite - including one of Phoebe, 26, lying in bed next to 'bare-chested' Carroll. These images have not been made public and there is no indication anything sexual happened between Carroll and Phoebe.

Billi is said to be standing by her future husband and believes the claim "nothing sexual happened" between him and Taylor.

"Andy has spoken to her - she believes him when he says nothing happened," a source told The Sun. "Footballers are always surrounded by pretty women and it is something she is used to as a Wag. She knows it’s part of being ­married to a footballer.

"Billi is still angry at him for allowing this situation to occur so soon before their wedding. The whole thing is in danger of taking the shine off what should be the happiest few weeks of her life and she doesn’t want that."

Explaining the footballer's afterparty in an interview with The Sun, Taylor said: "It was an afterparty. We all went back to his hotel. There was me, Andy and my female friend. I didn’t sleep with him, it wasn’t like that. There was three of us in the room.

"It was a full day and night of drinking. Andy was steaming. We were all drunk. We went back to Andy’s suite and we played some music and he got into bed and passed out. I was there with my friend until the early hours and took the photo as a joke."
