Our kids ask my footballer neighbours for a game

TV Tanya cringes at her sons’ antics

- SARAH ROBERTSON

TELLY’S Tanya Bardsley is left blushing when her kids pester star neighbours for a footie kickabout.

The reality star is married to Burnley’s Phil Bardsley, who is always up for a game with sons Ralphi, four, Renz, seven, and 11-year-old Rocco.

But the boys have tried to rope in Man City goalkeeper Ederson, who lives within shouting distance.

And they used to pester their dad’s old Man United colleague Nemanja Vidic too, when he lived close by.

Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya said: “The kids used to go ‘Vidic, Vidic, do you want to come and play with me and my dad?’ and I used to have to drag them down. So embarrassing.

“Then we got the Man City goalkeeper, ‘Do you want to come and get in the net with me and me dad?’ I was like ‘Get down!’ Oh God. It is footballer central.”
