Another fine mess: Drogba
Police were called to Chelsea star Didier Drogba’s house over a dispute between his wife and his cleaner.
Candy Price quit her job at the striker’s home but returned the following day and refused to leave until she was paid £430 in wages.
Drogba’s partner Lalla Diakite refused to pay and eventually called the cops when 32-year-old Price and a pal sat outside the £4million house in Oxshott, Surrey.
Price, of West Drayton, Middlesex, told The Sun: ‘All I wanted was the money owed to me. Drogba’s partner kept telling me she would put it in the post, but I knew she didn’t have my address.
‘Two representatives from Chelsea arrived first and asked me to move. They then left and the police turned up.
‘I explained the situation to the officers, who went inside. They came out 20 minutes later with a cheque for £430.
‘I’m angry that I had to go through all that hassle to get £430 from a man who earns more than £100,000 a week.’
A spokesman for Ivory international Drogba said: ‘They owed the cleaner no money. He is on international duty and his wife is pregnant on her own and doesn’t speak much English.
‘The cleaner sat outside shouting threats, banging on the gate, ringing the intercom, so Didier’s wife was scared and called police. They advised her to give a cheque to go away, which she did.’
