KYLE Walker's wife believes she is being harassed by Lauryn Goodman, a pal has claimed.
Long-suffering Annie Kilner and her love cheat hubby are plotting a move to Italy in a bid to save their marriage.

But the Man City ace, 34, was previously linked with a move to Saudi Arabia on a £400,000-a-week deal.
And now it has emerged Lauryn, 33, is also planning to quit the UK and move to Dubai.
Her revelation came just hours before it was announced the Walker expressed a desire for a new start abroad.
A friend of Kyle and Annie told MailOnline: "You have to wonder whether Lauryn was planning a move to Dubai because she thought that Kyle and Annie were off to the Middle East too.
"She has form for winding them up, particularly Annie, but it hasn't worked as they have no intention of going there.
"She thinks Lauryn is a total wind-up merchant and believes it is harassment."
The Sun revealed yesterday that Walker is ready to finalise a shock loan deal with Inter Milan this month.
The couple hope to leave behind the captain's tangled love life and focus on the future.
Kyle has been linked to two top clubs in the trendy Italian city.
A source said a loan agreement with Inter Milan had been reached in principle, despite huge rivals AC Milan also expressing an interest.
Insiders said he shocked City bosses last week by saying he wanted a move, and 31-year-old Annie is likely to move with him, despite filing for divorce in August.
One said: "Neither of them know what the future holds. But they're hopeful a switch to Italy will give them the breathing space they desperately need to see if things can be worked out.
"It's been impossible to do that in England due to the pressure they've been under for the last 12 months.
"They're hoping time alone will help them decide if there's anything left they can salvage.
"Annie is keen to press ahead with the divorce in order to sort the finances out and Kyle won't oppose that. But they haven't yet fully given up on one another."
Their four kids — Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, six-year-old Reign and baby Rezon — will also make the move from their home in Prestbury, Cheshire.
The news comes after The Sun revealed last year that Walker had fathered a second child with ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman.
Annie, pregnant with Rezon at the time, vowed it was the last straw and kicked him out.
Then, in an exclusive interview with The Sun, the football ace publicly apologised and begged for forgiveness.
In the summer, Walker returned from England's Euros defeat to face 33-year-old Lauryn in court over financial arrangements for year-old daughter Kinara.
Papers revealed he had increased Lauryn's housing budget from £1.85million to £2.4million after she threatened to move within ten minutes of his family home.
Walker's bombshell request to quit City was revealed after he was left out of the squad ahead of Saturday's 8-0 FA Cup demolition of Salford City.
