Love scandal catches up with Newcastle star Tiote

Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote's love life is catching up with him in Ivory Coast.

The Sun says Tiote has been caught marrying a second woman in his native Ivory Coast - to the fury of his mistress.

The Newcastle United midfielder reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony this month, despite already being married to first wife Madah, 25.

The 28-year-old, who earns around £45,000 a week at St James' Park, lives with Madah and their two children in a £1.5million mansion in Ponteland near Newcastle.

But he also has a one-year-old child with mistress Nikki Mpofu, who was furious when she discovered he had married for a second time.

Tiote's first wife has reportedly forgiven him for marrying another woman, and his agent confirmed to the Newcastle Evening Chronicle that he had married.

Jean Musampa said: "I can say that he did get married and that it is his second marriage. This is nothing unusual. He is a Muslim."
