An ex-Premier League ace has risked the wrath of his gorgeous WAG after making a joke about "birds in Dubai". Riyad Mahrez, who last played for Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli, accidently stitched himself up while appearing on Dele Alli's stream.

The former Spurs star was live streaming to his fans when Mahrez made a surprise appearance on the stream. “I’m in London, streaming, I was just calling people, they can hear you, they can hear you live on stream bro," Alli told the Algerian.

However, Mahrez might not have heard Dele as he responded: “I’m in Dubai bro. There are some f****** birds in here bro, honestly.”

Dele quickly realised what the ex-Manchester City star had said and moved away from the microphone and out of shot.

However, upon returning back on screen, Dele had a cheeky smile across his face, realising that had stitched up his mate.

Mahrez is currently married to Manchester-born beauty Taylor Ward - with the loved-up couple tying the knot in 2023. The road to their marriage was documented in the Amazon Prime reality series ‘Married to the Game’.

During the series, the couple had just moved to the Middle East. In the documentary, Taylor admitted that she’s all alone when not with Mahrez, living away from her close knit family and life-long friends.

She emotionally said: “At Man City we had a box, Riyad always brought a few friends and I'd bring my friends as well, course the kids and whoever else. My family, whenever they were home they used to come.

“I better get used to this because I have no mates. All my friends are my primary school friends and high school friends. I've not really had to make new friends since then, which is crazy. It's a crazy thought that I'm going to have to start trying to make new friends.

“I said to Riyad from the beginning that the thing that scares me most is him moving abroad. I've always live in Manchester, I've never had to move away, but my biggest fear is having to move to a new country, make new friends and be away from my family.

“I've never been so far away from my sister before. I've never had to move away and still run a business,” she said before breaking down in tears while speaking to her sister, Darby.

“If someone said to me five years ago that I'd be moving to Saudi Arabia with a husband and a child, I wouldn't have believed them,' she later adds. 'I would have thought they were talking about the wrong person. I never envisaged my life anywhere other than Manchester.”
