A video appearing to show Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher being shouted at by wife Nicola as a steward helps him along the path at Glastonbury Festival has emerged, with onlookers claiming the couple had a blazing row.
The woman believed to be Carragher’s wife Nicola can be heard shouting ‘really’ repeatedly, while Carragher appears to walk along in the VIP section with the help of a steward, reportedly struggling to stand.
A source told The Sun: ‘Jamie could barely stand – he didn’t have a clue what was going on.

‘At one point, festival staff were propping him up.’
‘Nicola was fuming. She kept telling him, “F*** you” and to make his own way home. He knew he was really in the doghouse.’
It seems the pair managed to put the row behind them to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary, with Carragher posting a touching tribute to his wife.
He shared a picture of them both on Instagram captioned: ‘Happy anniversary Nicola Carragher, had a blast in Glastonbury, as we have done for most of the last 14 yrs! Love ye!! ❤️’

The former Liverpool defender was suspended by Sky Sports in March of last year after being caught on camera spitting out of his car window at a man who was taunting him about Manchester United’s victory over his old side.
The spit also hit the man’s 14-year-old daughter, who was in the passenger seat, leading to widespread criticism of Carragher’s behaviour and calls for him to be sacked from his punditry role.
He publicly apologised on Sky News and was reinstated by Sky after reaching out to Andy Hughes, the man involved in the incident, and his teenage daughter.

Revisiting the incident in a candid podcast interview with Alistair Campbell, the ex-Downing Street press secretary, and his daughter Grace, a comedian and activist, Carragher admitted he only got through the aftermath thanks to his wife Nicola.
He said: ‘I spoke to the guy involved a couple of days later and I think they regretted it, the whole thing, they started getting a bit of abuse when it was in the press.
‘The thing that absolutely kills me is the bit about his daughter, and this thing that I spat at a girl, it just kills me.
Carragher praised his wife, Nicola, for her support after the spitting incident as he struggled in the aftermath
‘I didn’t see who was in the passenger seat and I just lost my head.
‘As soon as I got home I told my wife, I knew straight away, I just thought oh my god, my wife was unbelievable for me.’
Adding: ‘A guy was trying to get a funny video of me, and it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last time.’
Representatives of Mr Carragher have been approached for comment.
