Billi Mucklow has reportedly told friends she won't be calling off her wedding to fiancé Andy Carroll - despite labelling him an "idiot" for being pictured 'in bed' with another woman.
The former TOWIE star, 34, is said to be planning to move ahead with their big day, but the footballer "in the doghouse" after a photo emerged of him 'in bed' with bar manager Taylor Jane Wilkey, 27, during his raucous Dubai stag do.
Yoga teacher Billi, who was also celebrating her hen do in the UAE last week, is said to be furious about the situation, but believes the photo was set up to make him look bad.
A friend told MailOnline : "Billi thinks he’s an idiot, her entire friendship group feel the same.
"They cannot believe he got himself into that situation and are convinced it’s a set up.
'But if anything else comes out, that might change. Andy’s certainly in the doghouse, that’s for sure."
Mirror Online has contacted Billi and Andy's representatives for comment.
The former TOWIE star was celebrating with her bridal party when husband-to-be Andy and a group of his pals gate-crashed for his stag.
Billi has since returned back home.
Ex-England striker Andy, 33, enjoyed a wild day of partying with bar manager Taylor from Scarborough - who is Billi's blonde lookalike - after he flew out to join his future wife.
A photo of Taylor in the footballer's bed and dressing gown went viral after he invited her back to his hotel room for an afterparty.
Billi's friend spoke about Andy's "embarrassing" behaviour, especially as the wedding is around the corner.
They told The Sun : "This is all very embarrassing with the wedding so close."
Andy met up with his wife last week before she flew back home with her pals.
Two days after she left, the former Newcastle and West Ham player had his own stag celebrations.
Andy and pals spent the day boozing with Taylor at Cove Beach around noon, before he invited Taylor and her friends to join them at a different bar.
The group then ventured to his hotel room to keep the party going.
Photos from the night were shared on Snapchat, with snaps of Andy looking worse for wear and one of Taylor wearing his personalised dressing gown.
Despite Billi breaking her silence, Taylor insists the night was "all just a bit of entirely innocent fun".
She told the publication the photo was taken on Wednesday night as "a joke".
The bar manager confirmed she had been partying with Andy and friends before heading back to his room.
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, we'd been at Cove Beach since 12, it was a really boozy day. Andy was steaming, we were all drunk."
Explaining what happened when they got back to the hotel suite, Taylor said they "played some music before Andy got into bed and passed out".
She said she was there with her friend "until the early hours" and took the photo as a joke because her mates from back home were goading her for the lowdown.
Taylor insists nothing sexual happened and it was "just a bit of banter".
Speaking about wearing his robe, Taylor claims she wanted to sleep, so took off her dress in the bathroom before putting it on.
"At the end of the day nothing happened that should ruin his relationship. It was just a bit of fun," Taylor concluded.
Andy and Billi are due to get married in the next two weeks. They share two children together.
The Mirror has contacted both Billi and Andy's representatives for a comment.
