According to the Mirror, a friend of the couple said that there’s “no way” Manchester United-mad Jamie would miss the Southampton game on TV.

The source said, “It has to be a few beers with the game. Kym understands it and she’s also a big fan.

“But will she accept him sloping off? I think she’ll let him off the leash for a while.”
