Andy Carroll breaks silence on Lou Teasdale row as he shares huge relationship update
Andy Carroll and Lou Teasedale are working on their relationship after a series of booze-fuelled rows caused them to reportedly split up. Former Premier League star Andy, 36, was said to have been desperate to make amends with mum-of-one Lou, after he was allegedly questioned by police during a trip to Greek party island Mykonos.
The final straw for Lou, 41, was said to have taken place during this year's Glastonbury in June, which saw yet another bust-up between the pair. They had gone to Worthy Farm for a weekend away and to celebrate their one-year anniversary after meeting at the festival the year before.
But Lou left the festival early, leaving former Liverpool striker Andy there alone. It was also rumoured that Andy had initiated the break-up, but it emerged earlier in the week that it was actually Lou who called time on their romance. It comes after Andy Carroll 'splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands' weeks after public row.
However, the pair appear to have turned it around and are making an effort to patch up their rocky relationship with the hope of moving forward together. Andy has admitted he's been going through a tough time, with his divorce from TOWIE star Billi Mucklow causing him stress, but he loves Lou and her family.
Speaking to the Sun, Andy revealed: "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.
'I'm a professional footballer and that's not the case. I play sports every single day, so my level of fitness is really good. I play football every day, so I'm fit.'
Andy also addressed an incident in which he and Lou were reported to have argued at a Mykonos restaurant, resulting in police arriving to question the star. He insisted it had nothing to do with alcohol and that the pair were actually arguing about him "having three coffees in the morning."
The footballer, who has recently signed for Dagenham & Redbridge FC, said that Lou was concerned he had a caffeine addiction. A joint statement from them at the time said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion.
'It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there.' It added: 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public.
'No one was arrested, and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together, and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.'
The incident, in a packed restaurant, was witnessed by staff and members of the public. One worker at the Nikolus Tavern said of the first argument: 'We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately. He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.'
The Sun reported that a source said: "After the restaurant episode, there was another incident at the hotel. This time, the footballer went to the police station. We know the woman stayed somewhere else that night.'
Meanwhile, a British holidaymaker who reportedly spotted the pair while out for a stroll accused Andy of being "very drunk" adding that he shouted at Lou: "I'm done with us!"

Monday's briefing: Arsenal edge first win after Chelsea strikeforce fires blanks
Arsenal took the honours in the first big clash of the Premier League season, battling to a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. There were signs of hope for Ruben Amorim's side despite the result, while elsewhere Nottingham Forest made a fine start to the season and Chelsea played out a stalemate with Crystal Palace. Rearguard action from Gunners Altay Bayindir's blunder handed Arsenal victory and undid a positive Manchester United performance in Sunday's pulsating Premier League encounter. Old Trafford rocked as Mikel Arteta's runners-up headed to the rebuilding Red Devils in the most eye-catching fixture of the opening weekend. United looked far better than the side that finished 15th last season – their worst top-flight campaign since 1974 – yet Amorim's men fell to another loss as Riccardo Calafiori capitalised on Bayindir's early flap. United are a work in progress but summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo looked sharp on their debuts, while Patrick Dorgu hit a post in the first half. Arsenal keeper David Raya also produced a string of important stops to keep the hosts at bay. Amorim defends keeper Bayindir's difficult moment again put the spotlight on United's goalkeeping situation. The Turk was given the nod to start the game with Andre Onana still working his way back from injury. Bayindir failed to deal with a corner, allowing Calafiori to nod in, but Amorim, felt his keeper was put in a very difficult situation. 'You're allowed to do a lot of things in the corner, we need to do the same,' he said. 'When you touch that way the goalkeeper, he needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not push players, or he chooses to push players and let the ball past.' Last season Bayindir conceded directly from a Son Heung-min corner in a 4-3 Carabao Cup defeat at Tottenham, but Amorim rejected criticism of the keeper, saying: 'He suffered a goal like this where? Against Tottenham? It was without VAR. With VAR it was a foul. 'Then in the next game against Arsenal, who saved the penalty? Who saved the game? You don't remember the game but I remember the game and Altay was unbelievable in that game. I am happy with the three goalkeepers.' Spotlight on Eze Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said Eberechi Eze will play for as long as he remains at the club and urged fans not to believe 'rumours' the England international is about to be sold. Amid reports of an imminent move, Eze was a surprise inclusion as Palace began their Premier League campaign with a goalless draw against a lacklustre Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He looked to have delivered a potential parting gift to supporters with a brilliant first-half free-kick before VAR intervened controversially to disallow the goal. Palace have had talks with Tottenham over Eze and Arsenal are also reported to be keen to sign the midfielder. 'As much as I know, Eze has a contract with Crystal Palace, he's a Crystal Palace player and he showed it today,' said Glasner. 'As long as he is a Palace player and performs like this, he will play for us. Nobody has told me something else.' Wood at the double Nottingham Forest made a mockery of Nuno Espirito Santo's pre-match worries as they beat Brentford 3-1 in their opening game of the season. Nuno expressed his 'concern' for the campaign ahead of the match, citing a lack of options in his squad, but he will feel better after a rampant display at the City Ground. After new signings Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee were unveiled before kick-off, their new team-mates put on a show as Chris Wood's double and a debut goal for Dan Ndoye put them 3-0 up at the break. It was the start that new Brentford boss Keith Andrews would have dreaded. With Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard sold over the summer and Yoane Wissa effectively on strike trying to force a move away, Andrews has not been handed the easiest of tasks in his first managerial role. Igor Thiago got the Bees on the scoresheet with a second-half penalty, but life after Thomas Frank began poorly. Ramsey moves north Newcastle completed the signing of Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey. The 24-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the Magpies, who are understood to have paid an initial £39million for his services, with a further £4m due in add-ons. The Villa academy graduate, who made 167 appearances for the club, 10 of them in last season's Champions League, is head coach Eddie Howe's fourth acquisition of a difficult summer. Ramsey said: 'I'm delighted to be here. It's been a mad two or three days, but I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started.' 'Jacob is another fantastic addition to our squad,' added Toon boss Eddie How. 'His qualities will bring us something different on the pitch and he fits the profile of being young and hungry to develop, but also with a wealth of Premier League football under his belt.' What's on today? Leeds mark their return to the Premier League on Monday night when they host Everton in the final match of the opening round. Daniel Farke's side will hope to use the Elland Road crowd to make it a difficult night for Everton, who could have new loan signing Jack Grealish in the squad. Facing the Toffees, meanwhile, could be forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who spent nine years on Merseyside before departing at the end of his contract earlier this summer.

The 2025 Maho Rasop Series lineup has landed
It's strange to think of November in Bangkok without Maho Rasop. The annual gathering – once a shorthand for discovering music you didn't yet know you loved – has been a fixture in the city's cultural calendar, a rare blend of precision and chaos, polish and grit. Last year, it was Air who drifted into the skyline, their set suspended somewhere between nostalgia and dream. I remember it not just as a performance, but as a collective hallucination; a crowd swaying in a rare moment of perfect weather. This year, though, the festival is on pause. In its place comes something that feels at once smaller and more deliberate: Maho Rasop Series, a chain of standalone concerts unfolding across November and December 2025. Less sprawling field, more curated rooms. The same people – HAVE YOU HEARD?, Seen Scene Space, Fungjai – but now playing with intimacy as their headline act. The absence of the festival was not a creative decision alone. The press release didn't dress it up. The global economy is fragile. Artist fees keep climbing. Audiences are cautious with their spending. The regional circuit has grown more crowded, each city trying to host its own miniature Glastonbury. And so, Maho Rasop – usually a sprawling, weekend-long escape – is sitting this one out. It's a sobering reminder that 'support your local scene and festival' isn't just a nice slogan to print on a tote. Without audiences, without sponsors who understand the worth of these events, without the often-invisible crews who make them happen, even the most beloved gatherings can vanish. And yet, from that pause comes a pivot. Maho Rasop Series promises to keep the spirit intact – introducing listeners to acts they might not stumble upon otherwise, making each show its own world of light, sound, and atmosphere. Three names are already on the poster. Let's have a closer look at them. Black Country, New Road The first to be revealed, announced in July. They arrive on December 13 at Search Studio, Ramkhamhaeng 81. Black Country, New Road (BC,NR) are not a band you half-listen to. Their sound spills across experimental rock, touching post-punk's nervous edges and the wistfulness of klezmer. Their debut, For the First Time (2021), landed like a thesis statement. The follow-up, Ants From Up There (2022), was heavier with emotion – and also the last with vocalist Isaac Wood. Their debut, For the First Time (2021), sounded like six people running in different directions but somehow keeping pace – jagged saxophone, angular guitar, lyrics you weren't sure you'd understood but couldn't stop replaying. Then came Ants From Up There (2022), warmer, more melodic, and bittersweet, now considered one of the defining records of the decade's early years. When frontman Isaac Wood stepped away in 2022, many thought it might be the end. Instead, they dissolved the idea of a single frontperson altogether. Forever Howlong, their latest, feels both lighter and more fragile – all shared vocals, quiet pastoral interludes, and words that cling like half-forgotten dreams. Live, this shift has given them an almost theatrical fluidity, with members swapping instruments and roles mid-set. Tickets are available now via Ticketmelon right here. Regular price B2,200 or B2,400 at the door. Suchmos Next, the Japanese rock collective with a taste for groove. Formed in 2013 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Suchmos pull from African-American genres – rock, jazz, hip-hop – and their name nods to Louis Armstrong's nickname, 'Satchmo'. Catch them live on November 30 at Ambience Space. Their debut THE BAY (2015) gave us 'YMM', all funk and disco lift, and won them Apple Music's Best New Artist of that year. THE KIDS (2017) leaned further into rock and hip-hop, with 'STAY TUNE' sending the album to the top of Billboard Japan's charts. In Thailand, they became familiar faces after their Big Mountain Music Festival slot in 2018, just as THE ASHTRAY brought a '70s haze to their catalogue. THE ANYMAL (2019) – part Beatles homage, part experiment – proved they could keep evolving without losing their rhythm-first DNA. Tickets are now available on Ticketmelon – grab yours here. Zone A: B2,400, Zone B: B1,800. L'Impératrice Presented by Seen Scene Space on November 27 at The Street Hall. The Parisian group weave electropop, funk, and nu-disco into something lush and cinematic. Members Charles de Boisseguin (keyboard), Hagni Gwan (keyboard), Achille Trocellier (guitar), David Gaugué (bass), Tom Daveau (drums) and vocalist Flore Benguigui build songs that glide – silk basslines under disco name means 'The Empress', a nod to transformation and quiet authority. Flore's presence is both magnetic and political: she writes about sexism in the industry, about being second-guessed as an artist because she is a woman, about resisting any attempt to reshape her identity. On stage, those politics become euphoria. Albums like Matahari (2019) and Tako Tsubo (2021) show their range – the former a cascade of glittering dancefloor anthems, the latter dipping into more introspective textures without losing groove. Live, they're masters of atmosphere: coloured lights curling like smoke, bass lines you feel in your ribs, and an audience that inevitably starts to sway by the second will be on sale via Ticketmelon here, with early bird pricing at B1,900 from August 16-22, and regular tickets at B2,200 starting August 23. What's being offered here isn't a consolation prize. It's a reminder that live music doesn't always have to be a sprawling field and a weekend lost to mud. Sometimes it's a single night in a small room, the air thick with anticipation, where the distance between audience and artist is short enough to see every detail. Maho Rasop Festival will be missed this year, but Maho Rasop Series might give us something else entirely – a season stitched together from singular moments, each one designed to be unrepeatable.
