The wife of an ex-Premier League football star has been arrested over claims she had sex in a park and ride car park with a married police superintendent.

41-year-old woman identified as Claire Makel, was arrested over the allegations that she was involved in a 'park and ride' romp with father-of-one Gareth Blair, the 48years man, on the 21st of May, 2019.

The mother-of-two, who lives in Lauder in the Scottish borders is married to former Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, Hearts and Livingstone footballer Lee Makel, who is currently a coach for Hibernian.

A police spokesman said: 'A 41-year-old woman has been arrested following a report of public indecency in Edinburgh on May 21. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.'


The spokesman also confirmed that the police superintendent has been suspended from his duty pending the time of an investigation into their alleged car tryst.
