      Wanda recently got back together with Galatasaray forward Mauro Icardi.
      The pair split in September following nine years of marriage.
      But they seemed to have reunited last month after Icardi took Wanda away for a few days in the Maldives – despite having sacked her as his agent.
      However, Wanda may now be leaving her relationship up to her 15.5million Instagram followers.
      Most read in Football
      Wanda posted a series of polls to her Insta story labelled by Marca as a “social media trial” – during which she asked her followers whether Icardi should “move forward” or “subtract.”
      Not all of her posts were about bad things she claims Icardi to have done – with one mentioning him tattooing her name on his body.
      Others were less flattering, however, with one appearing to possibly reference Icardi’s scathing comments after Wanda kissed a rapper 13 years her junior for a music video in October.
      At the time, Icardi, 29, labelled his estranged wife, 35, a “laughing stock of the whole world”.

      They were a couple for a number of years and Ruby rose to fame when she was spotted attending Three Lions games when Alli was in the squad.
      However, their relationship which was described as “turbulent”, ended due to the footballer’s obsession with playing video game Fortnite.
      Since going their separate ways Ruby has been pictured getting close to Pete Wicks known for starring in The Only Way is Essex.

      He has netted two goals in ten appearances and has only played the full 90 minutes once.
      His manager Senol Gunes also criticised him saying: “He is below expectations in terms of efficiency.”
