While his usual team mates are out in the USA drawing with Ghana in the World Cup, Phil Foden has found himself in some drama here in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Manchester City<\/a> player recently sat ringside to watch Tommy Fury<\/a> take on Eddie Hall at Manchester\u2019s AO Arena when another head-to-head was captured.<\/p>\n

Foden\u2019s long-time girlfriend Rebecca Cooke went viral<\/a> for her response to Lily Phillips approaching him at the event.<\/p>\n

The mum-of-three comically extended a limb<\/a> as the adult star came over to their seats, waving her on her way as she did the rounds getting selfies with stars.<\/p>\n

And now Phillips has spoken out in a TikTok<\/a> to \u2018clarify a few things\u2019 about the incident as she labelled the response to her as \u2018degrading\u2019.<\/p>\n

She had been getting selfies with the likes of Tyson Fury as she made her way around the room of big names and it seemed as though she wanted a snap with Foden.<\/p>\n

Phillips previously told LADbible that she thought Cooke was ‘extremely judgemental’.<\/p>\n

“Before I could even finish my sentence, his girlfriend, wife, whatever… was waving her b***dy finger in my face,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I was just asking for a photo, I’m not gonna shag your man. So I was like, settle down.”<\/p>\n

And on TikTok, she said that she had gone \u2018over as a fan just to ask for a photo\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know he had a missus or a girlfriend in all honesty,\u201d Phillips claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t even know she was with him. Like when you’re at the boxing you are just kind of sat next to random people most of the time. Obviously usually when you go up to a celebrity to ask them for a photo you ask them not the people around them.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the star says she was \u2018shooed away\u2019 before she even finished her sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s your prerogative if you don’t want to get a photo with me,\u201d Phillips continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is so fine. I think there are definitely different ways to go about communicating it and acting like I’m a piece of sh*t on your shoe because of the industry I’m in is a little degrading, I may say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillips added that a \u2018simple no thank you\u2019 would have sufficed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat just my opinion, and opinions are subjective,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Foden and Cooke first met back at school in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and it\u2019s speculated she didn\u2019t want a photo of the footballer with Phillips circulating.<\/p>\n
