The Made In Chelsea star uploaded a video to his Instagram Stories, in which he complained about sportsman Patrice contacting the pretty brunette while he struggled to get attention from footballers.
Showing a sense of humour about the matter, the reality star said: ‘I’ve always dreamed of talking to footballers, but no one ever replies to me. The only way I can talk to them is through my girlfriend’s phone on the DMs.
‘We’ve got Patrice Evra on there who’s like a hero of mine and who I absolutely love.’

Carla told The Sun at the time: ‘He’d ring and text me every day. He acted like a boyfriend and never said he was married. He’d say, “You are beautiful” and “I must see you”.
‘I loved him and I thought we had something special. It was all lies. I feel terrible for his wife because he was talking to meand messaging me dozens of times a day for months.
‘He never once mentioned he was married, let alone had a child.’
During his stint as a footballer, Patrice served as captain for both West Ham and Manchester United.
He retired from the sport in July 2019 and now works as a coach and a Sky Sports pundit.
Playing primarily as a left-back, Patrice has participated in five major international tournaments for France: the 2008, 2012 and 2016 UEFA European Championships, winning a runners-up medal at Euro 2016; and both the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups.
Ahead of the 2010 World Cup, Evra was named captain of the national team by manager Raymond Domenech.
