Mahrez's wife Taylor Ward reveals what living in Saudi Arabia is REALLY like

Riyad Mahrez's move to Saudi Arabia last summer was a big shock for football fans but no-one was stunned more than his wife, model and influencer Taylor Ward.

The 26-year-old, who is the daughter of Real House of Cheshire star Dawn and former Premier League player Ashley, went viral after a clip for her new documentary showed Mahrez's blunt reaction to her shock when finding out she was set to move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli.

Ward said she was 'overwhelmed' when Mahrez informed her they would be leaving Man City and moving to Jeddah at short notice, with the winger telling her: 'It's part of the game, innit,' after she had expressed concern that she would be 'sat at home on my own'.

That moment will be documented in the upcoming Prime Video show Married to the Game, which is also set to detail the couple's move to Saudi and show how they've since settled into the country. Other wives and girlfriends of footballers will exhibit their own lifestyles in subsequent episodes.

Ward admitted Mahrez's response to her 'still haunts me', but said the Algerian player was 'straight-talking' and 'to the point' as she opened up on the 'emotional rollercoaster' while speaking to Mail Sport.

'That line haunts me,' she said, as she explained that a clip of her crying was after a sitdown with her sister later on.

'I keep seeing it on social media. That whole week was just an emotional rollercoaster really. It was a huge shock and I had absolutely no idea. One day we were planning for Riyad to go back to pre-season with City and then overnight we were moving to Saudi and I was planning this whole move.

'I think it was just very overwhelming at the time and a massive shock because I just didn't see it coming at all. That scene with Riyad -
