Alex Curran risks the wrath of Merseyside as she brands Liverpool nightlife 'rough'

He might be one of Liverpool's favourite son's, but footballer Steven Gerrard's wife Alex has risked upsetting the whole of Liverpool after sensationally declaring the city is 'rough.'

The party-loving WAG from Aintree, Merseyside, 26, says she no longer goes out in the city because the nightspots 'attract the wrong type of people'.

Ironically, Alex's comments made in a magazine interview came as she and her husband were seen enjoying a night out in London, days after he was sensationally acquitted of affray.

The Liverpool captain, who was cleared of assault despite admitting he repeatedly punched a man in a drunken row over music in a nightclub, took Curran for dinner to London's Nobu Berkeley restaurant.
