Tanya Bardsley has revealed her children have been embarrassing her by attempting to enlist the help of football legends that live near their family home to play with them.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 40, is married to the Burnley player Phil Bardsley who happily plays with their sons Ralphi, four, Renz, seven, and Rocco ,11.
But Tanya told the Mirror on Saturday that her boys have also been trying to recruit the Man City goalkeeper Ederson Santana de Moraes and former Man United player Nemanja Vidic for a kick about.

She revealed: ‘The kids used to go ‘Vidic, Vidic, do you want to come and play with me and my dad?’ and I used to have to drag them down. So embarrassing.
‘Then we got the Man City goalkeeper [Ederson], ”Do you want to come and get in the net with me and me dad?” I was like ”Get down!” Oh God. It is footballer central.
The hilarious anecdote comes as Real Housewives of Cheshire returned to ITVBe last week.
Although Tanya now lives the high life on the show, she said that she works harder than other WAGS because she can remember how hard her life used to be.

The reality star previously struggled financially as a single mum to her now 19-year-old daughter Gabriella from a previous relationship.
She explained: ‘I’m scared of being in that place again – crying when I couldn’t afford Gabriella any toys for her birthday, that feeling you can’t afford to pay bills. So I never say no to work and I’m knackered.’
Tanya revealed that she would often joke to her husband Phil that she just wanted to be a proper WAG and have a day off to do nothing.

A doting husband, Phil recently gifted Tanya a Lamborghini for her birthday when she turned 40 last month.
With a starting price of £170,000, Tanya admitted she sometimes feels silly driving the car while on the school run because of how loud the engine is and is terrified of the speed it can go.
It comes after the reality star was recently diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD] after struggling with anxiety for many years.

Tanya discovered she had the condition when she went to see a doctor about her longterm anxiety.
The specialist happened to also be an expert in ADHD and said he was almost certain she had it after a 10-minute-long assessment.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star has said her husband, who she married back in 2014, has been supportive of the condition.
