Lionel Richie heckled at WAG wedding

John Terry’s footie pals serenade the singer at lavish bash

Lionel Richie was heckled by some of the highest-paid footballers in the country at John Terry’s wedding to Toni Poole at the weekend.

After his first song, the former Commodores singer had to ask guests to pipe down.

‘It was really embarrassing,’ says one onlooker. ‘Toni was looking very anxious about the lads making a real fool of her.

‘When he started singing Hello the boys started chanting back to him as if they were on the football ground terraces.’

Lionel was paid almost £250,000 to play at the Blenheim Palace reception at the special request of bride Toni, 24. And he wasn't too pleased when he finished his set.

A source tells The Sun: ‘When he came off stage he moaned to one of the organisers, “I imagine this is what it’s like at a working men’s club”.’

Sounds like the lads were having fun.
