Footballing pro Andy Carroll has sparked a sting of speculation after he passed out with a blonde woman two weeks before his wedding to reality TV’s Billi Mucklow.
The West Bromwich Albion, 33, striker flew out to Dubai on Sunday, to reunite with a beaming Billi and prompting her to rename her Hen Party a 'STEN' to enjoy the luxury location with pals.
The boys were snapped bare chested to soak up the sun wearing just baggy swim shorts as they posed in a pally group pic during their alcohol-infused trip.
Elsewhere they enjoyed a more civilised meal out before heading out to make the most of their sunshine vacay.
But while Billie and her gaggle of girls headed home, Andy and his mates made the most of their partying before ending up in the since viral snaps of him lying passed out next to a look-a-like blonde woman.
Carroll’s stag party, which included Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett and goalkeeper Mark Gillespie, were reportedly staying at the swish Fairmont Palms resort where rooms average £500 a night.
In the snaps he was pictured lying in his hotel bed next to glamorous bar manager Taylor can be seen puckering up bearing her tanned shoulders and letting her blonde hair flow loosely behind her.
But Carroll is seemingly passed out with his mouth open on a white pillow as she holds her hand out in front of his bearded chin.
Although Taylor insists the stunt was 'banter' she shared another shot after slipping out her party dress into Carroll's personalised fluffy white robe for the mirror selfie.
The party girl could be seen posing in front of the spacious hotel bathroom complete with floor to ceiling tiles and deep fill bath.
But all eyes were on her white bathrobe with the players embroidered name left little doubt over where she was spending her after party.
Pals of the footy ace said: “This is embarrassing with the wedding so close.”
The former England player and his mates had been on a all-day bender after kicking of the celebration at the city’s upmarket Cove Beach club.
Carroll then invited her and two mates to hit the bar at another venue before heading to his hotel suite for an afterparty.
Carroll looking worse for wear, and one of her in his personalised bathrobe — were shared on messaging app Snapchat.
Taylor sent them to mates in the UK and they went viral.
But Taylor, 27, from Scarborough, has since told The Sun : “It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun.”
And Carroll previously said he had turned his back on his party lifestyle since meeting Billi and starting a family with her had changed his life for the better.
Speaking in 2019 he said: “I met my missus, and we’ve got four kids living at home now.
“I was stupid, I was young, and I was carried away with the lifestyle that I had.
“Now it’s completely different. I’m actually a dad. I’ve grown up, and got responsibilities, so . . . I’ve got a purpose.”
The Mirror has contacted both Billi and Andy's representatives for a comment.
