Who is Tom Williams? Nicola McLean’s husband and professional footballer
IT'S just as well he plays defence, as his marriage to CBB star Nicola makes him prone to attacks
FOOTBALLER Tom Williams has made his name as a defender, which is just as well — thanks to his marriage to CBB star Nicola McLean, he frequently finds himself under attack from Twitter trolls.
Here's what we know about the Arizona United SC player...
Who is Tom Williams?
Tom was born in Carshalton, London, on July 8, 1980, making him a Cancer.
He currently plays for Arizona United SC in the United Soccer League. He's a defender, though he can also play midfield.
His club career began in 2000 when he joined West Ham United and he made nearly 300 appearances in the Football League.
He went on to play for a number of different teams, including Peterborough United, Birmingham City, Barnsley, Swansea City, Wycombe Wanderers, Queens Park Rangers, Preston North End, Bristol City, Kettering Town and Colchester United.
Tom also has one international cap with Cyprus, where his mother is from.
When did Tom and Nicola get married?
Tom and ex-glamour model Nicola got married in 2009, and together have two kids, Rocky, 11, and Striker, 7.
However, the couple briefly split after he cheated on her in a Las Vegas nightclub in 2014 and was filmed getting much too close with a brunette.
Nicola was very outspoken about her decision, slamming Tom and claiming he would never 'get anyone better' than her.
But the couple reunited in summer 2015 after he re-earned her trust.
The pair are currently planning on renewing their wedding vows.
What's the CBB controversy all about?
Celebrity Big Brother fans mocked Tom on Twitter after his wife flirted with former footballer Jamie O'Hara on the show, claiming they'd once kissed.
“Did you enjoy Big Brother tonight fella @MrTomWilliams?” asked one, while another wrote: “Tom what is ur wife playing at #muggingyouoff.”
Ola Jordan weighed in Nicola and Jamie's antics as well, telling Bit on the Side host Rylan Clark-Neal that she'd "kill" her husband if she caught him flirting like that.
Tom didn't respond to the comments, while a source close to Nicola said: “She has never kissed Jamie O’Hara and that wasn’t what her remark meant.”
Jamie brushed off the allegations and said that he "loved" Tom and was close friends with him.
