Andy Carroll caught sneaking back into £8.5m mansion by estranged wife Billi Mucklow leaving her fuming

FOOTIE star Andy Carroll was caught by his estranged wife sneaking into his former home.

The ex-Liverpool striker, 35, waited until Billi Mucklow had left before slipping in — but home security cameras alerted her to his movements via her phone.

It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed that the couple had split earlier this year and are selling their £8.5million six-bed Essex mansion, previously owned by Sir Rod Stewart.

Billi, 36, also told pals she is angry at how quickly Andy — now with French club Bordeaux — has moved on with celebrity make-up artist Lou Teasdale, 42.

A pal revealed: “Since the split, Andy had agreed to stay away from the house but sneaked in while she was out — leaving Billi fuming.

“Even though he owns the house, she doesn’t expect him to just turn up when he wants now that he’s left her.

“It seems he wanted to collect some belongings but he didn’t tell her.

“But he was busted the moment he entered the property as Billi was alerted to his movements on their home CCTV, connected to her phone.

“She hadn’t realised he was back from France and was understandably shocked and upset. She watched the whole thing unfold on her phone.

She felt it was sneaky.” Andy, who has a £19million fortune, has been seen with Lou in London and Majorca.

The insider added: “Billi just thinks it’s disrespectful to be flaunting his new romance so openly.”

Andy and Billi got engaged in 2014, before finally marrying eight years later.

The wedding was almost off after a picture emerged of Andy passed out in bed with two women on his Dubai stag do.

The pair have three kids aged nine, six, and four. Andy also has two, aged 15 and 14, from a previous relationship.

The Sun on Sunday approached him for comment.
