Footballer Michael Chopra has split with his wife of seven months after she dumped him on Facebook.
Heather Swan, 24, is said to have let her husband know their marriage was over by changing her status to single on the social networking site.
The former couple are now locked in a bitter war of words and the Sunderland striker, who earns £30,000 a week, has updated his own page with the words: "Heather will have a new number tomorrow, ha ha," after cancelling her mobile phone contract.
"Things have been simmering ever since Michael went on loan to Cardiff. It's all pretty childish," a source is quoted as telling the Daily Mirror.
Chopra and Swan, who share one-year-old son Sebastian together, have had a stormy relationship and first separated just four weeks after their marriage.
