Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow 'offered part in TOWIE's 10th anniversary'

Andy Carroll looks set to score a role in the \'TOWIE\' 10th anniversary reunion special.

The professional footballer - who plays for Newcastle United - and his fiancee Billi Mucklow, one of the reality TV show\'s former stars, are both said to be wanted for the milestone episode of \'The Only Way is Essex\'.

An insider told The Sun newspaper\'s Bizarre TV column: "The team behind TOWIE\'s special anniversary shows really want them to be special events and highlight how far the cast have come since it began in 2010.

"Bringing back a favourite like Billi is part of that, particularly as she\'ll have fulfilled the ultimate Essex girl dream of a fairytale romance with a Premier League footballer.

"But the producers have quite a lengthy hit list of people they want to tempt back to mark a decade."

It comes after Andy and Billi - who have kids Arlo, four, and Wolf, two - recently revealed they are expecting their third child together.
