Lou Teasdale and Andy Caroll split explodes as she reveals why she really dumped him

Lou Teasdale dumped Andy Carroll before he made a "desperate" attempt to get her back, it has been claimed. The speculation comes following reports earlier this week that Andy had been the one to end their relationship.

Makeup artist Lou, 41, and professional footballer Andy, 36, began a relationship last year following his split from reality TV star Billi Mucklow, with whom he shares three children. However, it was reported yesterday that the couple have parted ways, with it claimed that Andy broke up with Lou.

Andy, who was said to have been working on the relationship following 'a series of alcohol-fuelled arguments,' reportedly grew tired of her "influencer lifestyle". It's however since been claimed that Lou dumped him, with it suggested that ending the romance was the "only way to move forward".

Previously, a source told the Sun: "Andy got sick of Lou's demands and her influencer lifestyle. She's always posting on social media and he hates that." Then describing him as "single," they added: "He told her it was over this week."

However, sources are said to have since told the Daily Mail that it was Lou who dumped Andy. It's claimed that he was so "desperate" to reconcile that he chartered a plane to in Ibiza, where she's on holiday with family, yesterday.

A source told the outlet: "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." They said she isn't interested in "pointing the finger" or "blaming" Andy, and had hoped to deal with their break-up privately.

The source said he's blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. They added that Lou is "very upset" over how the situation has "played out" and the "arguments" between them had been "especially difficult" for her.

"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," the source claimed. They said that Lou is "unimpressed" and just wants to be with her family, adding that she's "not interested" in attempts at reconcilation.

The source concluded by saying that Lou still has feelings for him though. They told the Daily Mail: "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."

Although there no longer appear to be photos of Lou on Andy's page on Instagram, he still appears in posts on her account following the news this week that they have split up. It includes in photos from a previous trip to Ibiza.

Lou, who confirmed this week that she's back on the island, enjoyed a holiday to the destination with Andy earlier this year. She wrote in one post: "My favourite place with my favourite person." Andy had replied: "You are a miracle."

Her birthday tribute to Andy in January is also still visible on her page. Alongside photos of them together and a heart emoji in the caption, she wrote in the post at the time: "Happy birthday to my favourite person I ever met."
