Lacey Maclean took to Twitter to accuse her 25-year-old boyfriend Kris Newby of being 'scum', after she claims he took money from her and her family.
The furious woman, who only got engaged to the East Thurrock United FC winger in January, alleged that he had spent her savings on gambling, and was heartbroken at the discovery.

Mr Newby, a prolific goalscorer with the Ryman Premier non-League club, has publicly apologised to his former fianceé, saying that he became 'hooked on gambling'.

 

In January Miss Maclean shared pictures of the footballer proposing to her and had excitedly Tweeted about marrying him in August 2014 in Italy. 'Best weekend ever.. Can't believe you actually got down on one knee.. You r braver than I thought #fiancée'.

The athlete, who scored three times in the FA Cup this season, has been forced to confess about his gambling in his local newspaper.
