      Furious Annie Walker has hired Coleen Rooney’s victorious Wagatha Christie lawyer in her battle with love-rat hubby Kyle.
      Pals say Annie has privately vowed to seek a divorce with a fight looming over his £30million fortune.
      We told yesterday how she has booted out the England star — and her family are also keen for her to make the split permanent.
      The Sun can also reveal that Annie dumped Kyle over claims he had fathered a second love child with model Lauryn Goodman, 32.

      The pair have son Kairo, three, following a fling in 2019 while he was briefly separated from Annie.
      Lauryn gave birth to a girl last July and has been dogged by rumours Kyle is the dad.
      Sources say Annie was “floored” after receiving a message on Boxing Day which made the same claim.
      The source added: “He’d humiliated her once and now Annie suspected he’d done it again with the same woman.

      “It came out of the blue, it couldn’t have been a worse time.”
      The couple had a showdown and Annie kicked him out of their £2.5million mansion in Cheshire.
      She has had a series of heart-to-hearts with Coleen, wife of former England striker Wayne.
      Annie has “lawyered up” with legal whizz Paul Lunt, who acted for Coleen in her libel battle with Wag Becky Vardy.
      Annie has also recruited top PR agent Rachel Monk.
      Incredibly, Kyle ditched his spokeswoman and also hired Miss Monk to manage the scandal.
      Annie had previously agreed to stand by the Manchester City ace despite his 2019 fling with model Lauryn.
      Annie branded his betrayal “obscene” but insisted on ­keeping their family together. But she finally snapped after their ­Boxing Day row.
      Another source said the marriage had been on the rocks for months after Lauryn taunted her online about the identity of the baby’s father.
      The source added: “Annie didn’t want to believe it, but she was obviously suspicious after his previous love child.”
      The source said Kyle has moved into an apartment in Prestbury, Cheshire, but still sees his and Annie’s three kids.
      The source added: “If it is true, how can he be so stupid to do it again? I feel sorry for Annie and the kids. The truth is she loves him.”
      Friends said there was “no chance” Annie would reconcile.
      Kyle, who captained the Three Lions against North Macedonia in November, has remained silent.
      She announced their separation on Wednesday following a series of secret legal meetings.
      Annie wrote on Instagram: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the ­intensity of the media spotlight.
      “Sadly, after many years of ­marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.”
      She added: “I do not wish to ­comment on the position any ­further.
      “For now, I ask that the ­privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time.”
      The couple wed in November 2021 but have been together for 15 years after meeting as teenagers in their home city of Sheffield.
      Annie loyally followed Kyle when he signed for Tottenham, and when he made his £50million move to Manchester City in 2017.
      But sex scandals followed — including a sordid 2019 fling with TV reality star Laura Brown.
      Annie took him back, but within weeks Lauryn was pregnant with Kairo.
      He confessed to Annie in a phone call from training in ­February 2020 and Kairo was born that April.
      Despite the ­heartache, Annie agreed to take him back again for the sake of their kids.
      She later revealed the pain he had inflicted in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, saying: “I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again because of what he’s done.
      “It makes me really sad that I’ve been damaged so badly when I’ve done nothing to deserve it. I love Kyle dearly and I’ll always love him, but to do this to me . . . after three kids?”
      She added: “I’ve tried to hate him but how can I hate the man my kids love so much?
      “Before the infidelity he was my best friend, my soulmate. I could count on him for anything. But none of what I thought we had feels real because he stabbed me in the back.”
      She also spoke of her pain as she wondered if Kairo looked like Kyle.
      Kyle had promised to have nothing to do with Lauryn or his son.
      But after a legal meeting in September 2022 they began communicating and he was secretly seeing Kairo up to twice a week.
      A source said: “Lauryn has always wanted Kyle to be a part of Kairo’s life.

      “Kyle and Lauryn only discussed their son and there was nothing else to it, but if he didn’t tell Annie it’s not surprising she was upset to find out.
      “They are constantly in touch but it is all for the sake of their boy.”

      The pair first met in their home city Sheffield when she was 15 and he 17.
      He moved from Sheffield United to Tottenham and established himself as a first team regular.
      But Walker was dogged by a series of controversies after his £50million move to City in 2017.

      Annie told The Sun on Sunday: “He begged me to take him back but by July he was at it again.
      “Not even three months later and someone was pregnant. My youngest was one.
      “It was like a nightmare.
      “Who does that? I don’t know what my thoughts or feelings are any more. I feel dead inside. Each day is filled with pain.”
      Walker moved into an £8,000-a-month flat nearby Hale, Cheshire -— but was then caught breaching lockdown rules by having an orgy with two hookers.
      The defender and a pal agreed to pay escort Louise McNamara, 21, and a 24-year-old Brazilian call girl £2,200 in cash.
      He told the girls his name was “Kai” before pulling out gold-coloured Shine condoms.
      He apologised before breaking lockdown rules a second time just weeks later during visits to see his family.

      Despite fathering another child, the couple reunited after Annie vowed to stay together for the sake of their three young kids.
      Last March the City star was seen on CCTV exposing himself in a bar and snogging a woman.

      He has been hit with a High Court bankruptcy petition filed by HMRC — setting off alarms for a string of VIPs.
      Dad-of-six Heskey, 45, was last year found to have defaulted on £92,000 of tax while working as a football development officer between 2017 and 2020.
      He was handed a £42,000 penalty.
      Meanwhile, the trendy bar he ran with wife Chantelle in posh Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was wound up by the courts with £163,000 of debts.

      It was unclear whether the court case arrears were related to the investment scheme or his business flop.
      Heskey has recently been involved in the running of Leicester City’s women’s team and supporting the England under-18s squad.
      The tax scheme was among those run by Ingenious Media, a financing company which funded more than 60 movies.
      David Beckham, Ant and Dec and Robbie Williams are among the famous names who pumped in cash, with a minimum £50,000 stake required.

      Clients were said to have been able to claim tax relief against most of their payment.
      Other stars linked to the scheme included Liverpool greats Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and ex-Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman.
      Gerrard and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber were among investors reported in 2019 to be suing HSBC for “dishonestly assisting” Ingenious Media.
      Take That singers Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen have already repaid £20million.
      They insisted they had paid significant tax and believed the investments were legitimate enterprises.
      But Barlow later admitting it was “the stupidest thing I have ever done”.
      HMRC and Heskey were approached for comment. More

      But he has lost six years — he was born in January 1983 and will be 41 in nine days.
      The 5ft 8in former winger also wrongly lists his height as 5ft 10in.
      There is also no mention of his colourful personal life, including a string of broken relationships, allegations of cheating and his self-confessed reluctance to be faithful.
      A source said: “Jermaine has a cheeky side to him but lying about his age and height is not a great start when he’s trying to impress women.”

      The talkSPORT pundit is looking for dates again after we revealed last month that he had split from TV star Jess Impiazzi, 34.
      She was told by pals that he had taken the flame-haired dominatrix to his hotel room during a stag do in Ibiza.
      But he seems to have forgotten his wild ways on his Hinge profile in which he lists his simple pleasures as “sofa, movie, wine”.
      He may also be understating it a little when he asks potential hook-ups, “Don’t be boring live a little.”

      Jermaine, who has appeared on Celebrity SAS and Celebrity Big Brother, also shares a series of holiday snaps in which he is decked out in shorts, a shirt and sunglasses.
      Another sober image shows him in a smart suit and tie.
      But if anyone takes him on, they might struggle to tame one of football’s wildest spirits.
      At 15, he was sold by Notts County to Arsenal for £2million — a then-record for a trainee.
      His career never quite reached the expected heights and in 2005 he was jailed for drink-driving and played while electronically tagged.
      Off the field, he dated glamour models and actresses — but, by his own admission, struggled to remain faithful.
      In January last year, he was declared bankrupt and living in Jess’s apartment in Surrey.
      Friends hoped he was finally settling down and the couple were having fertility treatment as they tried for a baby.

      Jess, who appeared in Towie and Ex on The Beach, even tried to move on from his alleged stag do fling in Ibiza — but said she soon suspected he was sending flirty messages to other women and ended their two-year relationship.
      In 2022, Jermaine revealed he had ADHD, which he blamed for his impulsive actions.

      They first targeted the Man City midfield ace’s £5.6million mansion while he played against RB Leipzig on November 28 in the Champions League.
      But they did not know Grealish, 28, and girlfriend Sasha Attwood, 27, were yet to move in.
      They fled the scene when a police car coincidentally cruised by as they lay in wait down a quiet village lane near Knutsford, Cheshire.
      They returned on December 27, grabbing watches and gems worth £1million while Jack played in City’s 3-1 win at Everton.
      READ MORE ON THE RAID
      Sasha and members of Jack’s family were in at the time and raised the alarm but the gang escaped after less than three minutes, according to an underworld source.
      They said the burglary was carried out with the approval of a Salford gang and the stolen items will be sold in Spain.
      They added: “These lads are good at what they do. They never spend longer than a couple of minutes in a house because they automatically assume an alarm has been triggered the moment they gain entry. They don’t want to hurt or threaten anyone as they know that will increase their jail sentence if they are caught.”
      Police are probing whether the raid was an inside job linked to other targeted footie stars. The source said: “If you’re a tradesman and work for footballers, once in with one you’re in with them all as they pass them on to teammates and say, ‘Use my guy’.

      “So the police are trying to see if there is any pattern of a tradesman or particular company working at burgled properties.”
