The truth behind Andy Carroll's split with Lou Teasdale: Makeup artist dumped ex-Premier League star after string of booze-fuelled blazing rows - and he flew by private jet to Ibiza to BEG her for second chance
Sources close to former Premier League star Andy, 36, said he ended the year-long romance with influencer Lou, 41, this week after becoming tired of her following a string of booze-fuelled rows.
But now furious friends of the influencer have claimed that Andy was so desperate to save the relationship that he chartered a private jet to race to Ibiza yesterday in a last-ditch attempt to win her round.
The extraordinary intervention came just hours after news emerged that the couple had split after 12 months of dating.
A source told the Daily Mail: '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.'
While Andy has removed all trace of Lou from his Instagram, the celebrity makeup artist still has a string of images featuring the footballer which demonstrates how close their relationship was on her profile.
Andy and Lou started dating last year after the ex-Liverpool and Newcastle player separated from his wife, TOWIE's Billi Mucklow, 37, with whom he has three children.
Reality star Billi is currently holidaying in Mallorca with her family and on Tuesday posted an image of her wearing a bikini by the pool, prompting praise from her former TOWIE co-stars.
Andy married Billi in June 2022 as their children Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel watched on but the couple announced their divorce two years later.
In May 2022, Andy, who also has two children from a previous relationship, was pictured 'passed out' between not one, but two blonde women during his stag do, causing upset and distress for Billi.
Lou Teasdale declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail.

Queen Camilla wipes away tear as veteran pays tribute to King's cancer battle
Queen Camilla was visibly moved at a VJ Day memorial ceremony on Friday as a 105-year-old war veteran paid an emotional, unscheduled tribute to King Charles's ongoing cancer treatment. The King and Queen joined Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and 33 veterans, aged between 96 and 105, who served in the Far East and Pacific. The national service of remembrance, held at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, marked the 80th anniversary of VJ Day on August 15, commemorating the end of the six-year war. Often overshadowed by VE Day in May 1945, this significant date serves as a poignant reminder for those who served in the Far East, historically labelled "The Forgotten Army". Yavar Abbas, a former captain in the 11th Sikh Regiment, took to the stage. While scheduled to read extracts from his 1945 Burma diaries, Mr Abbas, originally from Lucknow in India, paused his prepared remarks to address the monarch directly. "I make no apologies for briefly going off the script to salute my brave king, who is here with his beloved queen in spite of the fact that he is under treatment for cancer," the centenarian declared. Camilla looked at her husband sitting next to her and appeared to wipe away a tear. Applause also erupted from the crowd of around 1,500 guests. Mr Abbas, who has battled cancer, added that he hoped his own 25-year remission from the disease would bring "comfort" to the King, offering a shared understanding of the health challenges faced. He added: 'I salute him for gracing this occasion, because by his presence here, he has gone a long way to make sure that his grandad's 14th Army is never given the sobriquet again of The Forgotten Army.' The ceremony was hosted by actress Celia Imrie and featured readings by actor Robert Lindsay and veterans, as well as musical performances from the National Children's Choir of Great Britain, Jennifer Pike and the Royal Corps of Signals Pipes and Drums. Ahead of the service, the King, in a pre-recorded audio address to the nation, vowed that the sacrifice of heroes who fought and died in the campaigns 'shall never be forgotten'. He also significantly acknowledged the devastation caused by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which led to Japan's surrender, describing the 'immense price' paid by its citizens as one 'we pray no nation need ever pay again'. He said: 'Please know that the courage and camaraderie displayed in humanity's darkest hour is a flame that shall blaze for eternity – a beacon that honours our past and guides our future.' After the service of remembrance, which started with a two-minute silence and a Red Arrows flypast, the King made his way to the Far East corner of the arboretum, where he met Silas Sarbah and Khadak Chettri, the grandsons of Second World War soldiers, as well as William Slim, the great-grandson of General Bill Slim, who led the so-called Forgotten Army. He viewed tributes at the Burma Railway memorial, which is constructed from 30 metres of original track from the so-called 'Railway of Death', and took a moment of reflection at the Burma Star Memorial and the Chindit Memorial, before heading to a reception for VJ veterans and their families. The King and Queen were joined by the Prime Minister and Lady Starmer, as they met some 30 veterans who served in the Far East during the Second World War for the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces, accompanied by their families and carers.

Queen emotional as veteran goes ‘off script' to honour King's cancer battle
The Queen appeared visibly emotional as a war veteran went 'off script' to pay tribute to the King's cancer battle at a VJ Day memorial ceremony. Charles and Camilla joined Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and 33 veterans aged from 96 to 105 who served in the Far East and Pacific at a national service of remembrance in Staffordshire on Friday. VJ Day on August 15 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the six-year war, but much of the celebration in 1945 focused on VE (Victory in Europe) Day in May, with those who served in the Far East labelled The Forgotten Army. Yavar Abbas, who was a captain in the 11th Sikh Regiment, took to the stage at the National Memorial Arboretum to read extracts from his diaries during his time in Burma in 1945, but took a moment to pay tribute to his 'brave king' first. Camilla looked at her husband sitting next to her and appeared to wipe away a tear as Mr Abbas, 105, originally from Lucknow in India, said: 'I make no apologies for briefly going off the script to salute my brave king, who is here with his beloved queen in spite of the fact that he is under treatment for cancer.' Applause rang out among the crowd of around 1,500 guests as Mr Abbas said he had also battled cancer, adding that he hoped it would bring 'comfort' that he had been rid of the disease himself for 25 years. He added: 'I salute him for gracing this occasion, because by his presence here, he has gone a long way to make sure that his grandad's 14th Army is never given the sobriquet again of The Forgotten Army.'
