Chelsea star Didier Drogba's cleaner stages car sit-in over £430 wages

Police were called to Chelsea star Didier Drogba's home after his partner had a row with a cleaner.

The 32-year-old housekeeper is said to have walked out of the £2.4 million house after becoming fed up with the couple's demands.

Candy Price then staged a sit-in in a car outside the house in Oxshott, Surrey until she was paid what she claimed was £430 in unpaid wages.

The housekeeper sat with a friend until Drogba's partner, mother-of-three Lalla Diakite called police. Ms Price of West Drayton said: "All I wanted was the money owed to me.

"Drogba's partner kept telling me she would put it in the post, but she didn't have my address. Two representatives from Chelsea asked me to move. They left and the police turned up. I explained the situation to the officers, who went inside. They came out with a cheque for £430."

A spokesman for Drogba, 30, who is paid £115,000 a week, said: "They owed the cleaner no money. He is on international duty and his wife is pregnant on her own and doesn't speak much English.

"The cleaner sat outside shouting threats, banging on the gate, ringing the intercom. Didier's wife was scared and called police."
