We've always had a soft spot for tabloid kiss-and-tell stories that involve famous footballers. This one, though, is our very favourite (as spotted by the London Evening Standard). "Blonde beauty" Stacey Barnes dumped Liverpool's Steven Gerrard (below) recently because - ready? - "his idea of romancing her was to drive her up and down the M6 motorway". "I'm a girl who wants a little bit more out of life than that," said pernickety Stacey, who revealed that their relationship reached the end of the line when she told Stevo that she would miss one of his games at Anfield because she had to go to her theatre workshop. "Don't you know how important my football is compared to your poxy dance show," he replied. Silver tongued devil.
