Billi Mucklow throws lavish garden party to pick bridesmaids for Andy Carroll wedding

Andy Carroll's fiancée Billi Mucklow threw a lavish garden party to ask her close friends to be her bridesmaids as she prepares to tie the knot with the ex Newcastle United striker.

Former TOWIE star Billi, who joined the show 10 years ago alongside still close friend Cara Kilbey, has been with Gateshead born footballer Andy since 2013, with the couple getting engaged a year later in the very romantic setting of Rome.

Posting a picture of her and Andy in the Italian capital, Billi was seen holding up a sketch of the two sitting in a restaurant with the Colosseum in the background and 'Will you marry me?' written above.
