WHAT GRACE SAID
Grace has strenuously denied those rumours, saying in a statement on her Instagram Stories: “Don’t believe everything you read online. The lies that people post to get views/likes is so sad! It’s actually wild the amount of abuse I have received from grown men in the last 24hrs! No I have never proposed a marriage lol.”
DID YOU KNOW?
Grace spoke of her affection for Palmer in the Amazon Prime documentary ‘England’s Lions: A New Generation’, saying: “I think he knew me through mutual friends so I think he probably had his eye on me. Oh, he’s warm and cuddly. Well, with me, hopefully with no one else. When you know how much someone wants something and you know that’s someone’s dream, you just feel so proud.
“Cole now is still the same Cole that I met when I was 17. Obviously, he’s changed, he’s grown up, and his life now is completely different, but he’s still the same boy, he’s still laid-back Cole.
“He’s not bothered about the whole fame side of it and he’s not bothered what people think of him. He is only just bothered about scoring goals and doing well for his team, doing well for his country, and you’ve got to love him for that.”
TELL ME MORE
Palmer, though, hinted at relationship problems after scoring for Chelsea against Palmeiras at the FIFA Club World Cup and celebrating with team-mate Tosin Adabiyo – who was on the bench. He told reporters afterwards: “That’s my boy. Obviously, I’ve had a difficult time these past whatever months on and off the pitch, but he’s always been there for me and he’s helped me a lot.”
