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."

Andy is currently a free agent after being released by West Brom earlier this month.

He's previously played for Newcastle, Preston, Liverpool, West Ham, Reading and England - earning nine senior caps for his country between 2010 and 2012.
