'I won title with Leicester & went on date with Miss California but it was w***'

DAILY STAR

Danny Simpson has revealed that he went on a date with Miss California after winning the Premier League with Leicester City.

The former Foxes full-back secured a date with the beauty queen during the club’s pre-season trip to the USA in 2016 but admitted “it was w***”. Simpson was a key part of Claudio Ranieri’s squad as Leicester went from strugglers to champions in the 2015/16 season to win their first-ever top flight league title.

The summer after their title triumph, Leicester headed to the USA during pre-season, facing Paris Saint-Germain in California, and Simpson even snuck off for a date with Miss California during the trip.

Recalling the evening, he told the Undr The Cosh podcast: “I was sneaking out. I had a date with Miss California.

“I got asked on this date through someone and I’m in Santa Monica with the team and I’m thinking: ‘I can’t say no to this. I’m gonna go and this needs to happen.’ All the time I was there, picked this specific day, thought right I’m sneaking out.

“Somehow, I’ve snuck out the hotel, all my gear on, got picked up, all the way to LA to this restaurant, this steak restaurant. Meet Miss California, right, sat having dinner with her and I swear to God it was going w***. It was s***. She must’ve been like: ‘Who’s this lad from Salford? I can’t understand what he’s saying.’ It was tough.”
