When asked if any celebrities had ever messaged her, Vakili responded:

"I had an Arsenal player slide into my DMs, which was really bad because he was married with kids and literally he has it all over his Instagram as well, so I don't know what he was thinking."

Vakili did not disclose the player’s identity, leaving fans guessing who the mystery footballer might be.

Meanwhile, Arsenal remains in the hunt for the Premier League title this season. Mikel Arteta’s side currently sits second in the table, trailing leaders Liverpool by six points. The Gunners have also advanced directly to the Champions League Round of 16, avoiding the knockout play-off round.

However, Arsenal suffered a setback yesterday, crashing out of the EFL Cup after losing 2-0 to Newcastle in the second leg of the semi-final.
