Billi Mucklow was supported by her mother on Monday morning as her imminent wedding to footballer Andy Carroll hangs in the balance. 

The former TOWIE cast-member has remained at the family home in Essex after out-of-contract Carroll was pictured asleep next to a blonde barmaid during his stag party in Dubai. 

Parking outside the property in a £70,000 Porsche Jeep, mum Paula looked visibly concerned while visiting her daughter, who is scheduled to marry the former England striker in just two weeks. 

Mucklow, 34, raises two children with the 33-year old Carroll, while both have children from former relationships. 

The couple had announced their engagement in November 2014, after Carroll had popped the question during a romantic mini-break in Rome, Italy. 

Mucklow is now said to have replaced a WhatsApp profile picture of herself and her fiancé with a photo of just their children after his Dubai exploits were made public.

According to The Sun, she fled the couple's Essex home on Saturday and is struggling to decide what to do next.

It's understood that Mucklow is demanding Carroll 'hand over everything' in relation to the pictures before their wedding.

She also wants to see every single image from the night in question to fully understand what happened.

A friend said: 'It's the only way she can move on — however bad it is.' 

Earlier this month, Mucklow and her female friends jetted to Dubai for her hen-do, which was 'gate-grached' by her fiancé after he arrived in the UAE towards the end of her girls' trip.

The delighted wife-to-be shared a happy snap of the pair as they enjoyed dinner, while renaming her Hen Party a 'STEN do'.

However, on Wednesday, Carroll was pictured sleeping next to with a blonde beauty Taylor Jane Wilkey, while in Dubai on his stag-do, which followed on from the 'STEN' celebrations.

Photographs show the recently released West Brom forward passed out on a bed beside the 27-year-old bar manager.

Others show Taylor wearing the father-of-four's personalised bathrobe with 'Andy Carroll' embroidered on the chest.

The bar manager, who says the pictures were leaked on Snapchat after she sent them to her friends back in the UK, insists nothing sexual happened with the 6ft4in forward. 'It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun,' she told The Sun.

However friends told the paper the pictures were 'embarrassing' so close to their wedding, which is set to take place in just two weeks after an eight year engagement.

According to The Sun, Caroll was partying at the Cove Beach club with Taylor when he invited her and a female friend to his hotel suite for an afterparty.

She told the Sun: 'It was an afterparty. We all went back to his hotel. I didn't sleep with him, it wasn't like that, there was three of us in the room.'

Taylor, from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, but who now works in Dubai as a bar manager at a high-end hotel, described her time with Carroll as 'really boozy' and said the striker was 'steaming drunk'. 

With his towering frame, Carroll had already established himself as a talented striker for boyhood club Newcastle United before confirming his relationship with TV personality Mucklow in 2014. 

She found fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2011, but quit reality TV two years later to run a Bikram yoga studio in Essex. 

She started dating the Geordie footballer in the summer of 2013 but they kept their relationship under wraps until the following February. 

It would prove to be a transformative period for the footballer - by then on loan at London club West Ham United after moving from Newcastle to Liverpool in a £35million deal. 

With Mucklow's stabilising influence playing a significant role, the boozy off-field antics that threatened to overshadow a career already hampered by a catalogue of injuries were curtailed. 

Indeed, the nightclub brawls, boozy nights out and off field assault allegations soon became consigned to memory as Carroll underwent something of a rebrand - a change owed in no small part to his partner.

He even followed his partner's lead by taking up yoga, and speaking in 2019 the footballer credited Mucklow for helping him change his lifestyle.

'I've got no doubt that I was daft when I was here, and no doubt that I was daft for a couple of years after as well,' he told nufc.co.uk.

'But I met my missus, and we've got four kids living at home now, we've got animals, we've got responsibilities. There's no more behaviour like it was, you know. 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.'

Mucklow and Carroll welcomed the first of their two children together, son Arlo, now six, in June 2015, with the couple confirming the news on social media shortly afterwards.

Their second child as a couple, son Wolf, arrived two years later in November 2017, making Carroll - already a parent to daughter Emilie, 11, and son Lucas, nine, from a former relationship - a father-of-four.

It would be Mucklow's third child. The former TOWIE star also shares daughter Penelope Blu with ex-boyfriend Daniel Harris.
