MAN City and England ace Phil Foden flirted online with a reality TV star just weeks before a bust-up with his girlfriend.
The star, 22, “liked” an Instagram picture of social media influencer Holly Burns showing off her curves in her undies in March.
We revealed Foden’s girlfriend Rebecca Cooke swore at him in a bust-up after looking at his phone on holiday in June.
She barked: “Do you think I’m a d***head?” before walking out of a posh Corfu beach club in front of stunned holidaymakers.
Furious Rebecca, the mum of Phil’s two kids, told him: “We can’t take you anywhere, this always happens.”
Rebecca, also 22, had earlier grabbed Phil’s mobile while he was in the sea.
He did not respond when she began fuming at him, and she shouted: “Tell her ‘n’ all.”
Weeks earlier, Premier League ace Phil engaged online with Holly, who appeared on ITV2 dating show The Cabins.
The snap shows her lying down in PJs paired with the raunchy underwear.
A source said: “Holly is a stunning girl and obviously gets interest from a lot of people.
It was just a bit of innocent flirting online — it wasn’t anything more than that.”
Sasha Attwood — girlfriend of Phil’s City teammate Jack Grealish — is also among Holly’s followers.
She has liked a string of her pics and left a comment calling Holly “pretty”.
The Corfu incident was not the first time Phil has landed himself in trouble.
He was sent home in disgrace from an England trip to Iceland in 2020 after inviting two women to his room with then-teammate Mason Greenwood.
Holly, a blogger and make-up artist, also works as an air hostess for TUI.
She has 119,000 Instagram followers and regularly shares bikini snaps in exotic locations.
Speaking before she went on The Cabins, she said had not joined the Mile High Club — because the “toilets are disgusting”.
Holly, from Staffordshire, was paired with Will McGregor on the show, which sees singletons spend 24 hours with a potential lover in a log cabin, but they did not form a relationship.
She said: “It’s not the sort of person I want to be involved with.
“I want to be with someone who works on a building site down the road that no one knows about. It’s just less hassle.”
However, they remained in touch and after the show aired said the door was not closed on a possible romance.
