West Ham's Andy Carroll enjoys Royal Ballet ‘date night’ as he takes in a Sleeping Beauty production with fiancée Billi Mucklow

West Ham forward Andy Carroll has shown his softer side following a bruising performance against league-leaders Chelsea.

Carroll sustained a bloody nose during the Monday night game after clashing into Chelsea's Victor Moses during an aerial challenge in a 2-1 defeat for the Hammers.

But the striker took some time out from battling defenders in the air to relax with his fiancee Billi Mucklow.
