The raging WAG phone her husband to grill him about the image but he vehemently protested his innocence, saying that it was not him and that it had been doctored.
She initially believed him but with doubts still niggling away, the suspicious WAG decided to turn detective when she returned to their million-pound mansion and checked the doorbell camera only to be confronted with the devastating video of him entering the property with the woman.
She also saw that the woman accompanying her husband was the same as the one who had sent her the photograph on Instagram.
The source added: ‘They were very happily married for a number of years. She’s a high-profile WAG and he’s one of the most recognisable faces in the Premier League. It’s quite shocking how the end of their marriage came about.’
The intrepid WAG’s detective work is reminiscent of the famous ‘Wagatha Christie’ scandal involving Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy.
Coleen, wife of former England captain Wayne Rooney accused her fellow WAG of leaking stories about her to the press and claimed that she discovered this after carrying out her own investigation on social media.
Rebekah denied the accusation and sued Coleen for libel in a high-profile court case in July 2022 which she dramatically lost.
