After pictures emerged of Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale at a Halloween party together, relations between the footballer and his ex Billi Mucklow's family have become more strained than ever.
And according to reports, the reality TV star's family are said to be fuming over his complete disregard of her feelings, as she continues to raise their three children, as well as two from his previous relationship. Her family believe he has shown a "total lack of loyalty."
The couple announced confirmation of their split in September but reports have claimed that the air had gone their separate ways in July. Taking a stand against Andy, who now plays for a French football team, Billi's brother Sam who also appeared on TOWIE, has completely cut off all contact with the former premiere league star.
According to the MailOnline, Sam has condemned the striker's actions are insensitive as he moves on with his life and now, wants nothing to do with him. And while things appear to be tense, it has been reported that Lou, who is a make-up artist and good friends with Harry Styles, is keen to avoid confrontation.

Billi has been a great mum to his two eldest kids, they're very much part of the family and she's brought them up as their own. So for Andy to treat her with such disdain, and move on so quickly with another woman after their split, is particularly hard to take."
Sam is reportedly the only one out of the family to have unfollowed Andy on social media. His girlfriend and former co-star Shelby Tribble still remains on Andy's follow list, as well Billi, his parents and sister Georgie And Andy has also unfollowed Sam but still follows Billi and other members of the family.
The footballer and Lou appeared loved up when they attended a star-studded Halloween party in October, dressed as Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce. And they have also been seen on a date in east London and then on a beach in Mallorca in Spain, to celebrate her 41st birthday.
As yet, Lou is unwilling to go social media official with Andy out of respect for Billi who had been with Andy for 11 years. A source said: "Lou doesn't want any bad blood between Billi and her family. She's trying to be as respectful as possible." Billi recently shared with fans a family holiday last month. Alongside a series of pictures of her half-term trip, she captioned the post: "Beach days are the best."
And her fans praised her for moving on with her life. One person said: "And THAT is THE classiest response to Mr Carroll." Another person said: "Love this response! You've got all you needed from him, your beautiful babies! Let someone else deal with the disrespect." Billi is still living in the former marital home, worth an estimated £4.1million, with all five of her children in Epping, Essex.
