Diletta Leotta landed in London on Saturday afternoon, with a rather awkward task ahead of her on Sunday as she prepares to host TV coverage of the Carabao Cup final, which looks likely to see her boyfriend Loris Karius get the nod in goal for Newcastle United.
And one of the first things she did in the capital city was visit Trafalgar Square to witness the epic scenes as Magpies fans filled the air with their chants.
It was this time last week that Karius, a signing from Liverpool last year, was suddenly thrust into contention for a pivotal role at Wembley as United number one Nick Pope was shown a straight red card for handling the ball outside the box as Newcastle lost 2-0 to Karius' old club at St James' Park.
