Footballer's wife sparks debate after praising daughter for 'punching bully in face'

Bianca Austin, wife of former Premier League star Charlie Austin has sparked an intense debate on social media after praising her daughter for allegedly "punching bully in the face".

According to the 35-year-old, her 16-year-old daughter had been teased by one particular girl for weeks, and because the school hadn't done anything, she had taken action.

Bianca, whose husband now plays League Two club Swindon Town, tweeted: "After weeks of being bullied by the same girl, numerous phone calls to the school and nothing changing, today when being called names my daughter finally punched the bully in the face. Proud mum."
