Jack Wilshere's girlfriend gets threatened by jealous fan
Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere has called in police after a jealous female “fan” threatened to murder his girlfriend.
The 17-year-old Arsenal is rising in popularity around the football world and it seems that a few over-devoted fans have started posting messages on internet sites expressing their love for the young Gooner.
But when pictures of his girlfriend, named online as Lauren Neal, were posted, so were threatening and spiteful messages from so called fans.
On one site, a jealous girl calling herself “xCupCakes” wrote: “gah, lets kill her please?” Another said: “She’s not good enough for him”, while one claimed she looked “like a boy”.
Last night Jack’s local police force vowed to investigate. A spokeswoman for the Hertfordshire force said: “We take threats of any nature very seriously.”
The remarks made against the girl followed pages and pages of adoration for the young footballer. A friend of the star, who lives with his parents in Hitchin, Herts, said Jack was “aware” he had a growing fanbase.
The pal said: “I guess it comes with the territory. But when it leads to nasty, vile stuff it’s really, really worrying.”
