Married to the Game is a six-part Amazon Prime series that includes the partners of Matt Turner, Jorginho, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan.

Tarkowski and his wife Samantha also feature at the heart of the show, which aims to give a peek into how women deal with their work/life balance, baby blues and relationship stresses, all under the watchful eye of the media.

Samantha has just got her personal training qualifications and wants to open a gym to help women feel great about themselves.

She also wants to be a role model for her little girl, Ivy.

Samantha said: "I want her to know that she's very, very lucky to live this life not everyone gets to live in the house that we live in or get so many toys or go on lovely holidays, so I do want to keep her humble."

Tarky, who now plays under Sean Dyche at Everton, has already been the talk of social media after a clip from the show went viral.
