Lou Teasdale: On-off boyfriend Andy Carroll ‘brings the drama’; she wants to marry him despite his estranged wife.

Lou Teasdale has revealed she wants to marry her boyfriend Andy Carroll but said he’s still married to his estranged wife Billi Mucklow.

The ex-striker, 36, split from TOWIE star Billi, 37, in July last year after a turbulent two year marriage.

While Andy and Billie, began divorce proceedings in September, the papers have not completed as of yet.

And just weeks after their split, he went public with make-up artist Lou, 41, having reportedly met at Glastonbury in June.

Despite reportedly splitting three times during their relationship, Lou has hope for their future together.

Appearing on Paul Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast on Tuesday, she revealed: ‘I would really like to marry him, yes.

‘So, we’ll see. But he is still married.

‘We’ve had to try and take it slow and we were really in love. The tabloids again, he brings a lot of tabloid drama, that man. They are obsessed with him.’

Gushing about their relationship, she continued: ‘We met at a really nice time in both of our lives. I think we’re both really in the same place.

‘He’s got teenage kids and I’ve got a teenage daughter, and he’s got some little ones as well.

‘He has the same outlook as me. And I’ve never met a lover like that. 

‘I’ve got friends who were just on the same page. 

‘But I’ve never had a boyfriend like that. 

‘I just found him really refreshing and didn’t think that he would be like he is.’

Back in August, Andy said he’s vowed to cut down on alcohol in a bid to save their relationship after boozy rows as he confirmed the pair are trying ‘to work through their difficulties’.

He told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple.’

Referring to his divorce from wife Billi, who he shares three children with, Andy added: ‘Things have been difficult for me and I’m going through a divorce.

‘Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it’s not a problem in my life.

‘We’re better off together and we’re trying to work through our difficulties.’

The pair, who were together for just over a year, unfollowed each other on social media and Andy wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram.

They now follow each other on Instagram and have added their loved-up snaps back to their pages.

A source told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance.

‘She isn’t interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together.

‘Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through.

‘However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she’s staying.

‘He will think it’s a romantic gesture but for Lou, she’s unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she’s not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation now.

‘All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven’t gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.’
