Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez has been dragged unwittingly into a romance storm after receiving a spicy message from a controversial Argentinian model.
Fernandez reportedly received a flirtatious message from Wanda Nara, the headline-grabbing ex-wife of fellow Argentinian footballer Mauro Icardi.
The awkward point? Nara is hosting a TV cooking show which Fernandez's long-term girlfriend Valentina Cervantes is competing in.
According to the press in Argentina, a 'war' has broken out between Nara, 38, and Cervantes, 25, which has spilled over onto MasterChef Celebrity Argentina - though the latter denies it.
Nara allegedly sent a message to Fernandez which read: 'I just saw you in the neighborhood, write to me if you want.' That has been reported by journalist Santiago Sposato.
Fernandez showed the message to his girlfriend knowing she would go on the show and Magazine Caras claims it has led to tension, with Cervantes feeling 'uncomfortable' every time she crosses paths with Nara.

Nara (pictured with Icardi) is accused of sending a flirtatious message to Fernandez, and now hosts MasterChef Celebrity Argentina, where Cervantes is a contestant
Cervantes denies any rumours of an issue between her and Nara, but said she had seen the message, before then denying it
Shockingly, Nara is also accused of threatening to try and 'sleep' with Cervantes in an Instagram Stories post, writing: 'If it were a lie, Valu would answer me. The little girl is smart. I hope I sleep with her on MasterChef.'
However, Cervantes has actually tried to downplay any rumours of a conflict in a rather mystifying and contradictory series of comments made on the TV show SQP, via La Nacion.
'I don't have any problem with Wanda Nara; she never did anything to me,' she said.
'There's no problem with Wanda. They're always going to generate that, but what do I know, it's more the people who generate it, because I don't have any problem with her. She didn't do anything to me.'
Then, confusingly, on the alleged message: 'Yes, I saw it. No, as far as I know, I haven't seen any messages. No, no, Enzo never spoke to me about anything. No, he never spoke to me about any of that.'
It's safe to say her comments haven't exactly cleared anything up - did she see a message or not?
She and Nara supposedly had a moment of tension on the TV set, which has fuelled rumours of their falling-out, but Cervantes has also tried to cool the heat on that front.
'I saw it the other day. I was just telling the guy, my family sent me the clips, because I don't watch TV at home,' she said.
Nara has finally divorced Icardi for good after a tumultuous on-and-off marriage which involved accusations of infidelity towards her
Cervantes has given Fernandez a second chance after he suddenly left her last October - despite her being the mother of their two children
'No, I'm not going to bother Enzo about something like that. I didn't even ask him.'
More may emerge as the series in Argentina continues. For now, we are left wondering over the extent of the conflict.
Nara has a chequered hisstory with this sort of thing, having endured a tumultuous marriage with Icardi which finally ended for good in March.
Icardi and Nara married in 2014 and endured multiple break-ups and reconciliations before agreeing to part ways, with Icardi accusing her of infidelity.
He says Nara cheated on him with Argentinian singer L-Gante and former team-mates Federico Fazio and Keita Balde - the latter has even admitted to having the affair.
Nara has denied knowing Fazio, has not addressed the Balde situation, and is open about her former relationship with L-Gante, which came amid an informal split from Icardi.
