Fiancée of Steven Gerrard and fully signed up member of the Wags Alex Curran has been arrested after an alleged brawl outside a Liverpool restaurant.
The sometime fashion columnist was reportedly involved in a fight between a group of men and women at the Shangri-La restaurant in the early hours of this morning.
The 23-year-old mother-of-two had been enjoying a night out with the Liverpool FC captain and two friends, but Gerrard had left the restaurant at the time of the alleged fight.
An 18-year-old woman is said to have sustained a black eye. Her friend told the Liverpool Echo: "It was horrible. We were just having a meal after a night out and there was a fight in the restaurant.
"My mate stood up and started screaming for them to stop fighting and one of the blokes came over to her and was really abusive. He was swearing and ranting and knocked her bag off the table.
"A couple of seconds later someone came over and shoved a bottle in her face."
A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said: "We have arrested a 23-year-old woman, from Formby, on suspicion of assault.
"The arrest follows an incident at the Shangri-La restaurant on Victoria Street during the early hours of this morning."
A spokeswoman for Alex Curran, who has been released on bail, said: "This is now a matter for the police and we cannot make any further comment at this stage."
Gerrard and Curran have been engaged since 2004 and plan to marry next summer.
