My abuse over Una love split

She tells of death threats over split

- EXCLUSIVE BY HALINA WATTS Showbiz Editor news@irishmirro­r.ie

THE PR girl accused of wrecking Una Healy’s marriage says people tried to kill her over lies about a fling with the Saturdays singer’s husband.

Becky Milne, 26, denied partying till 4am with England rugby star Ben Foden behind Una’s back soon after she had their second child.

The couple announced their split last week and Una returned to Ireland with kids Aoife Belle, six, and three-year-old Tadhg.

Becky – who is being comforted by 33-yearold Ben – insisted: “All I can say is that it’s categorica­lly untrue.

“I’ve never been to a party with Ben Foden and stayed up until 4am. All I have is harassment, death threats, people telling me to kill myself. I’ve got over 3,000 follow requests on Instagram from Irish women trying to send me abuse.”

Becky, who drives a €55,000 Range Rover Evoque, said: “People have tried to run me off the road. I understand people’s problem and I totally understand there is a wrong that has been done to that family.

“But for me or my family to take the blame for someone else’s actions – mine or Ben’s, whatever – that is not OK.”

Becky and Ben – who denies cheating – met through mutual school pals and have been friends for “a couple of years”.

Becky said: “He’s checked that I’m doing OK.

I feel so sorry for the family and wish them well but it’s not me

BECKY MILNE AFTER FALLOUT OF SPLIT

He’s used to this sort of thing. He holds his hands up to whatever he’s done to ruin or break up his marriage. But it’s not my business.

“I feel so sorry for the family and wish them all the best but it’s not me.”

Asked if she had spoken to Una, she said: “I just don’t want to confirm that either way.”

SUSPICIOUS

Una and Ben, who married in Ireland in 2012, were about to move to the US after he left Premiershi­p side Northampto­n – where Becky lives with her parents.

A friend of Una said: “She became suspicious about Ben’s behaviour. Then enough was enough and she just confronted him. She has now decided it’s over. She’s utterly heartbroke­n and devastated but she’s very traditiona­l in her outlook.

“She thought their marriage would be forever but can’t see a future for them any more.”

Earlier this week Ben broke his social media silence and posted a picture of a gym adding: “My new haven for the next few weeks. Thanks @afchester for having me. Seriously good set up!”

The couple announced their split just over a week ago.

Una, 36, returned to her hometown of Thurles in Co Tipperary with their children sharing a snap of their trip.

A spokespers­on revealed: “I can confirm Una and Ben have separated and she’s in Ireland with her mother and kids, but there will be no further comment to make.”

The break-up comes after the couple recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversar­y and fullback Foden signed a contract to play for Rugby United New York.

Una – who shot to fame in 2008 with girl band The Saturdays – posted a throw-back picture to their big day on Instagram with the caption: “Saturday June 30th 2012. 6 years married to @ben_foden today! Happy Anniversar­y love you xx.”
