A WOMAN who ended up “three-in-a-bed” with Andy Carroll on his stag do revealed last night he was “too smashed to score”.
Taylor Jane Wilkey, 27, said the goal-shy ex-Newcastle star, 33, had been on a 17-hour booze bender before she and a pal joined him in his hotel suite in Dubai.
She said: “He was honestly in no state to do anything.”
She added: “I’m so sorry for all this mess — but I did nothing wrong.”
“Massively embarrassed” Taylor told The Sun she feels terrible for passing out in his hotel bed with a friend after a 17-hour booze marathon.
At one point in the day ex-England football star Andy was surrounded by party girls and danced with a ripped pair of Calvin Klein boxers on his head.
“He was a gentleman, he just had so much to drink and passed out on the bed.
“He didn’t try anything — and even if he had wanted to, he was too drunk.”
She added: “I should never have got myself in that situation, but nothing untoward happened.
“I just feel bad for taking photos — it was all meant to be a joke because Andy was so drunk, we were just having a laugh.”
Photos emerged of a bare-chested Carroll, 33, flanked in bed by two blondes during his stag do in Dubai last week.
The Sun revealed how bar manager Taylor and fitness instructor Phoebe Robb, 26, ended up back at Carroll’s luxury hotel room after a day of boozing.
Our revelations have caused friction between Carroll and former Towie star Billi.
After crisis talks over the weekend, she wiped Carroll from her WhatsApp profile and replaced it with a snap of their children.
The couple are set to marry this Sunday, but it was unclear whether the nuptials will go ahead.
Carroll spent the end of last season with Championship side West Bromwich Albion, scoring three goals in 14 games. But the club recently announced it would not be offering him a new contract.
But single Taylor, 27, gave her backing to the former Newcastle United and Liverpool hero — revealing how he’d had at least 40 drinks before crashing out.
She said she first met him when he and around 12 mates were partying on “ladies’ day” at the swanky Cove Beach bar in Dubai last Wednesday.
She recounted a wild 17-hour bender of raucous boozing and antics, which saw Carroll and his wealthy pals blow close to £30,000.
In that time, Taylor reckons Carroll necked at least 20 rounds of vodka, ten glasses of sangria and ten shots of Jägermeister and Grey Goose vodka.
Taylor recalled: “It was a crazy day, the lads started drinking at 12 and didn’t stop.
I just feel bad for taking photos — it was all meant to be a joke because Andy was so drunk, we were just having a laugh.
“To be honest we didn’t know Andy Carroll was even part of the group when we first met them. All the lads seemed to be in PR or marketing, or had their own business, no one mentioned football.
“But then we realised it was Andy, I didn’t release how well known he was, he’s hardly Jack Grealish or Marcus Rashford.”
Taylor said the group had a table at Cove and were ordering bottles of vodka, jugs of sangria and downing trays of Jägermeister.
She continued “It was an amazing day, the booze was flowing and Andy seemed to be having a great time. He came over to chat to us and asked what we did, he seemed nice, a gentleman.
“But at no point did anyone mention it was a stag do, we were told it was a lads’ holiday. I didn’t know he was getting married.”
In one video, Carroll is seen leaning over the back of a chair chatting, while his former Newcastle team-mate Mark Gillespie balances a drink on his head as the party was in full flow.
Also on the stag do was Newcastle star Paul Dummett, Carroll’s former West Ham team-mate Robert Snodgrass and Billi’s reality star brother Sam Mucklow. After leaving the Cove, the group separated to get food before changing and heading to a club.
Taylor said Carroll had booked a table in the VIP area of The Avenue Dubai, a nightclub on the 42nd floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.
She recalled: “We got there about 1am and waiters were pouring Grey Goose like there was no tomorrow, there were trays of shots going round.
“There was an incident with one of the lads where he fell off a chair and nearly knocked himself out because he fell through a false wall into a recess.
“We were all so drunk. I remember Andy dancing around with the waistband from a pair of Calvin Kleins on his head and the DJ kept giving him a shout-out.
It was an amazing day, the booze was flowing and Andy seemed to be having a great time. He came over to chat to us and asked what we did, he seemed nice, a gentleman.
“Andy and his mates looked after us, we never felt out of place or harassed by any of them.”
Taylor, from Scarborough, North Yorks, said Carroll then took the party back to his suite at the Fairmont Palm hotel.
She added: “We were steaming and one of Andy’s mates said we were having an after-party in Andy’s hotel room.
“We all got taxis, there was me, Phoebe, Andy and two of his mates who weren’t footballers.
“All of us went back to the room, we turned on the TV and played some music, there was alcohol there already.
“We had more drinks, music blaring, having a laugh. We were dancing around. It got to the point where Andy kept passing out, he’d taken his shirt off but was still in his trousers. He kept just laying on the bed passing out.
“We were taking the p*** that he’d flagged before all of us, we were the last ones standing.
“A few jokes were made, he’d start passing out and then would wake up and drink some more.”
Taylor said at around 5am she chose to take a selfie with a sleeping Carroll after being asked by her friends for the low-down of her night.
She explained: “When I took that selfie with him on the bed I was still dressed, I was wearing a pink boob-tube dress and because the phone was zoomed in it looks like I’m naked, but I wasn’t. Everyone else was there, it was just a joke.”
Taylor said the night came to a close as the group began to “crash out”. She said: “I was wearing a tight dress and one of the lads suggested we could put bathrobes on. Then me and Phoebe ended up in bed with Andy.
We were all so drunk. I remember Andy dancing around with the waistband from a pair of Calvin Kleins on his head and the DJ kept giving him a shout-out.
“Yes there was three-in-a-bed but nothing happened, we were all so drunk we just passed out.”
Taylor said she left the hotel in an Uber not long after.
It was later that she realised that photos taken during the night and sent out to several friends had suddenly gone viral.
The former Miss Scarborough contestant moved to the UAE last year and runs three up-market bars in Abu Dhabi, about an hour’s drive from Dubai. She added: “I hope Billi forgives him. Andy was a nice guy. I would hate for them to call the wedding off over this whole thing,
“I shouldn’t have taken the photos and shared them with friends but I’m angry that they were leaked to the media.
“I look like an opportunist which I’m not and I’ve received death threats and hate messages, it’s been really upsetting.

I’m Britain’s nosiest neighbour – I’m called intrusive but I don’t care
“This has been a massive life lesson to me.”
Those close to Billi say she is prepared to fight to keep her family together. But she is demanding Andy “hands over everything” in relation to the pictures in a bid to save their wedding.
