Oh no, Andy! He jokes on TV about team-mate’s lover in Glasgow . . . as girlfriend watches in London
HE is known for remaining tightlipped about his personal life.
Yet Andy Murray seemed only too happy to let slip details about what his Davis Cup team-mate might have been getting up to off court during a TV interview.
Asked how the team would celebrate following victory over the United States yesterday, Murray replied that Dominic Inglot has a ‘little girlfriend on the go here in Glasgow’, where they had been playing.
Unfortunately f or Inglot, he already has a girlfriend of six months at home in London.
When Eurosport presenter Annabel Croft asked for the name of the lady in question, a mortified Inglot said: ‘You’ve actually landed me in this. Because I actually have
‘You’ve landed
me in this’
a girlfriend [who’s] going to be watching this.’
A source close to the team said Murray, 27, was unaware Inglot, 29, had a girlfriend and did not know that the joke would backfire.
But a spokesman for the Lawn Tennis Association dismissed the stitch-up as ‘pure banter’ and ‘just a bunch of guys messing around’.
Last night Inglot was said to be seeing t he f unny si de of t he episode after smoothing things over with his girlfriend, who has not been named, and flying straight back to London.
Great Britain yesterday celebrated a 3-2 victory over the US to reach the quarter finals of the Davis Cup.
