The blonde, 27, has now been identified as Frankie Carmichael, according to reports. The party-goer who works at a call centre, is believed to have partied with the Newcastle star, amid reports she is friends with a pal of Trippier. Frankie lives in Newcastle and she was named on Twitter, The Sun reported. A source told the publication: "Frankie is friends with a pal of Kieran’s. She’s well known on the Toon and loves a night out in the city."
The Truth Behind the Viral Video
