Newcastle United full-back Danny Simpson's relationship with singer Tulisa Contostavlos has reportedly hit a rough patch.

The couple first got together back in November and were constantly spotted in each other's company, but reports have emerged suggesting that things are strained between the pair.

A number of bust-ups have led to the couple spending time away from each other, but a split has not been made official, according to The Sun.

Meanwhile, Simpson has yet to agree a new deal with the Magpies.
