How tensions between Andy Caroll and ex Billi are set to EXPLODE as he flaunts sexy new girl while she looks after kids

THEY look like the perfect A-list couple, flaunting their chiselled abs and lithe tanned limbs in a Instagram holiday photo album even the Kardashians would be envious of.

But behind the scenes of Andy Carrol and Lou Teasdale’s never-ending Ibiza break is a fractious war of tensions with his ex Billi Mucklow – who he spilt from just 11 months ago – with pals of the star telling The Sun: “It’s a pressure cooker waiting to explode.”

And while former Towie star Billi has kept a dignified silence, sources say those around her are astounded by his brutal antics, flaunting his new relationship in her face while she comes to terms with the end of her 11-year relationship.

Left home with the kids

One told us: “Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou – who he moved on with alarmingly quickly after separating from the mother of his kids.

“While he is off galavanting around the party island, posting all these snaps that scream ‘we are having hot sex!’, Billi is at home looking after not only their children, but his two kids from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Faye Johnstone.

“It’s a silent gut-punch to Billie, who is an angel and adores the kids – looking after them and protecting them from this circus is her number one priority.

“To her it’s second nature to be there for them and to be their caregiver.”

Indeed, just last week Billi posted a sweet snap of all five kids on social media, bearing the caption: “You kids are my world. You are everything I will ever need. I adore you.”

But while Billi is focusing on raising her brood, her pals are annoyed that she’s the one holding the fort at home alone.

The insider continued: “For us, the people who know Billi well, it’s galling to see her carrying the load while Andy is gallivanting by the beach with Lou.

“This isn’t a one-off either.”

Just weeks after The Sun revealed Andy and Lou were an item, they jetted to Mallorca for their first holiday as a couple.

And since then they’ve enjoyed several more trips to Mallorca, south of France and Ibiza.

Andy and Billi split just two years after tying the knot.

In a statement to The Sun at the time, Andy said: “Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings.

“It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.”

Our source adds: “We were all shocked when he went public with Lou in October just three months after he announced his split with Billi amid fears he was cheating.

“We think it’d be interesting to hear what Lou makes of it all, given she’s a mum too and would know that Billi is picking up the load for Andy.”

In contrast to Andy’s jet set life, Billi spends her days running a home with five children – on the school run, cooking and doing the washing.

The source continues: “The whole situation feels very disrespectful – but Billi has made it clear she won’t be drawn into any of Andy’s nonsense. 

“She is holding her head high and just minding her own business – being a strong female role model for all the kids is her MO.

“For Billi, being a good mum to the kids they shared for many years is all that matters.

“While the kids are with Billi, Andy sees them all as much as he can.

“Billi’s mates have been rallying around her and it’s the same with her family. It’s not a ‘woe is me’ situation. She’s had a really hard time but she doesn’t want anyone feeling sorry for her, she is just getting on with it.

“But Andy should be ashamed of himself for how he has been acting. It’s like watching a teenage kid, not a grown man with responsibilities.”

Pricey divorce

Those close to Billi said her legal team is currently thrashing out the terms of her divorce with Andy.

He’s a footballer worth millions – Liverpool negotiated a transfer fee of £35 million while West Ham splashed out £15 million – so there’s a huge amount of money at stake in this legal battle.

They added: “Naturally there has been a lot of back and forth but Billi is hoping that a line can be drawn under it all soon.

“She has no interest in dating right now. Billi’s focus is on being a good mum to the kids and building a stable life for them all.”
