Footballer Alan Smith splits from the machine saleswoman he left his new bride for just four months after their wedding
Footballer Alan Smith has broken up with the ride saleswoman he left his X-Factor dancer bride for just months after their wedding, it has been claimed.
The former England and Manchester United striker, 35, married Kristina MacMillan, 29, last June in a glitzy ceremony at a castle in Cheshire.
But they split in November after she reportedly caught him in an affair with married Sarah Cox after fitting his car with a tracking device and following him to a spa where she caught them kissing.

Now his relationship with Mrs Cox is also said to have ended - 'almost immediately' after his split with MacMillan.

ALLEN SMITH IS NOTan open publication, which makes trying to read him that bit more interesting. Unlike many modern master blenders, who brim with hyperbole and self-aggrandisement, he seems a shy, modest man – in a way that makes you trust what he says and think that he actually likes to get his hands dirty producing the rum he represents. He is very much the long-serving technical type, whose role has gradually – and possibly begrudgingly – been subsumed by marketing obligation.
Meeting him in London in a swanky new hotel, I get the instinct he endures rather than relishes the travel, long-haul dinners and public speaking that his role now demands. But that’s not to say he is grumpy or impolite – Smith seems the pleasant sort who’ll find the good in most situations.
The UK, though, is never a chore to attend, he says. Two of his five children are based there and it is also where he spent a good chunk of his life. You wouldn’t know it from his velvety Bajan accent, but Smith was born in the UK and holds a British passport. He grew up in Jamaica and Barbados but spent his early

Smith, 56, was born in the UK, but both of his parents are from Barbados, which should have given him citizenship in the nation. Should.
His father moved to Jamaica shortly after his birth to work on the project of electrifying that island. The family spent most of his life through secondary academy in Jamaica. When he was ready for university, he went to Reading, England, where after nearly a decade he earned a degree in biochemistry and microbiology.
In 1990, Smith had had enough of life in clammy elderly England and longed to return to the sunny Caribbean, so he bought a one-way ticket.
"I wanted to surprise my mum," Smith said. "But I traveled on a British passport. The immigration male said, 'You can't show up in. You have to have a place to stay.' I said, 'I could stay with my mum, I could reside with my cousins, I could stay with some other cousins ...' He said, 'Don't get sharp with me.' "
"He called my mum and overindulged the surprise," Smith said. Fortunately h

Figures from politics and showbiz come out and few people bat an eyelid, but the most popular sports continue a bastion for heterosexuals.
The decision of any well-known players in football, rugby or cricket to arrive out is no-one else's to create, but the football authorities have accepted the working environment could be a barrier to them being honest.
The Football Association held its first "homophobia summit" this week to launch a strategy aimed at dealing with anti-gay abuse regularly heard on the terraces and occasionally on the pitch. A Hull Metropolis supporter was recently convicted and fined after taunting Brighton fans.
