Andy Carroll faces second trial over alleged breach of order against ex-wife

Former England striker Andy Carroll has denied a second charge of breaching a non-molestation order involving his ex-wife, Billi Mucklow, and will stand trial in January.

The 37-year-old appeared before a judge at Chelmsford Crown Court via video link, where he pleaded not guilty to allegedly contacting Mucklow in Epping, Essex, in August 2025.

According to the BBC⁠, Carroll had previously denied another alleged breach involving repeated mobile phone and FaceTime Audio calls to Mucklow in March 2025.

A non-molestation order, which restricts contact with another person, was imposed on the former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker in October 2024. The couple separated earlier that year.

Carroll, who joined National League South side Dagenham and Redbridge as a player and co-owner in summer 2025, scored twice in nine appearances for England between 2010 and 2012.

Breaching such an order can attract penalties ranging from a fine to five years in prison in the most serious cases.
