The identity of a party girl linked to England defender Kieran Trippier has been revealed for the first time, amid a breakdown in his marriage.
Call centre worker Frankie Carmichael, 27, is reportedly known to be a woman about town in Newcastle.
The ‘party girl’, who sports a large tattoo on her left arm, is known for her social media snaps in which she shows off her revealing outfits.
Tripper, 33, was recently seen lifting up a blonde woman, who had a large tattoo on her arm, around his waist in a karaoke bar in May last year.
He was spotted at Cosy Joes with her legs wrapped around him while holding her backside.
At the time, Trippier’s wife Charlotte, who he has three children with, was in Madrid.

A source told the Sun: ‘Frankie is friends with a pal of Kieran’s. She’s well known on the Toon and loves a night out in the city.’
MailOnline has contacted Trippier’s representatives for comment.
The Newcastle player, who is paid £130,000 a year, has had a rough few months, with his marriage reportedly being on the rocks.
The England full back’s six-year marriage to Charlotte Trippier is said to have been strained for ‘some time’ with the couple trying to sort out their differences prior to the Euros getting underway, sources previously revealed.
Charlotte, 29, is mother of Trippier’s three sons, but, unlike other WAGs who cheered the team on during the Euros, she stayed away.
Charlotte provided an insight into her troubled marriage to the Newcastle star Trippier when she took to Instagram just 48 hours before England’s final group game against Slovenia and posted a cryptic message.
In her post, Charlotte wrote: ‘Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you’d never get over and it’s the best feeling in the world.’
Further posts in the story, which included the caption ‘the sun is shining, happy Monday’, show the WAG sitting in the car listening to music while she waits to pick up her children from school.
The profile belonging to her husband did not come up in the list of accounts she was following – leading social media users to claim she had unfollowed him.
He has reportedly since retired from international football to focus on his life outside his career.
Sources close to the footballer told MailOnline that they believe he partly took the decision to step away from the England set up in the hope that it would remove a ‘layer of pressure’ as he attempts to rebuild a new life without his wife.
The source said: ‘Kieran has faced a lot of problems recently and it’s not been easy for him. Premier League footballers are under the public spotlight as it is and being in the England team just increases this.
‘He’s hoping that not being involved in international football will take some of the pressure off him. He just wants to get out of the media limelight as much as he can because there’s been a lot of coverage about what’s been going on.’
