A WOMAN who ended up “three in bed” with Andy Carroll has revealed that she had no idea who the footballer was.
Taylor Jane Wilkey, 27, did not recognize the 33-year-old former Newcastle striker when they met in Dubai last week, insisting that “it’s just Jack Grealish”.

Photos of a Carroll with her bare chest flanked in bed by two blondes emerged during her farewell last week.
The Sun revealed how bar manager Taylor and fitness instructor Phoebe Robb, 26, ended up back in their deluxe hotel room after a day of strident drinks.
But Taylor, who insists that nothing sexual happened, admitted that he had no idea how famous Carroll was.
She recalled: “To be honest, we didn’t know that Andy Carroll was part of the group when we first met them.
“All the guys seemed to be in public relations or marketing, or they had their own business, no one was talking about football.
“But then we realized it was Andy, I didn’t realize how familiar he was, it’s not Jack Grealish or Marcus Rashford.”
Carroll finished last season with West Bromwich Albion in the league, scoring three goals in 14 games.
But the club recently announced that it would not offer him a new contract.
Taylor, from Scarborough, North Yorks, said her bachelor group had a table in Cove and was ordering bottles of vodka, jugs of sangria and trays from Jägermeister.
He added: “It was an amazing day, the drink was flowing and Andy seemed to be having a great time.
“He came to talk to us and asked us what we were doing, he seemed nice, sir.
“But at no point did anyone mention that he was single, they told us it was a boy’s vacation. I didn’t know he was getting married.”
Taylor said Carroll took the party to his suite at the Fairmont Palm Hotel at the end of the night.
He explained how at around 5 in the morning he chose to take a selfie with a sleeping Carroll after his friends asked him for his night’s rest.
He came to talk to us and asked us what we were doing, he seemed nice, sir. But at no point did anyone mention he was single, we were told it was a boys holiday.
The bed bug has infuriated his future girlfriend Billi Mucklow, 33.
But Taylor, 27, insists the striker, as frustrated fans are well aware, did not score that night.
In a direct call to his heartbroken promise, he added: “I’m sorry, Billi, I know how it looks, but we didn’t have sex.
“She needs to know that nothing sexual has happened between Andy and me, I swear.
“He was a gentleman, he only had a lot to drink and he fainted in bed.
“He didn’t try anything, and even if he wanted to, he was too drunk.”
He added: “I should never have gotten into this situation, but nothing negative happened.
“I just feel bad for taking pictures; it was all a joke because Andy was so drunk we were just laughing.”
Our revelations have sparked friction between Carroll and former Towie Billi star.
After talks about the crisis over the weekend, Carroll deleted his WhatsApp profile and replaced it with a photo of his children.
The couple will get married this Sunday, but it was unclear if the wedding will continue.
Those close to Billi say she is ready to fight to keep her family together. But he asks Andy to “give it his all” in relation to the pictures to try to save his wedding.
